Post Body!

Hey everyone! I was wondering if any of you have gotten or even tried any of the wraps or belly bands to help shrink your belly and hips after having the baby. I've seen some on amazon and babies'r'us but I don't want to spend too much if its not even going to work and be more of a pain then anything. I understand that my body isn't going to jump right back to my original size but if something is going to help speed the process up I'm totally down to try it!

What are some of your thoughts or experiences???

    I had a c section and they gave me a belly wrap to kind of hold everything in. I'm finding it is really helping. I'm two weeks post baby and I can definitely see a difference in the "bigness" if my tummy. My DH even noticed and said wow your belly looks awesome. It looks like I have like a little beer belly. Easily hid and people are really surprised to find out my baby is only 2 weeks old. I seen another post on here someone said they loved the belly bandit. I have heard good reviews about that one too but it is kind of spendy I think. I think all of them do pretty much the same thing but I do think that they help tummys go back to as much as normal as they can faster.

    I have one called "baby belly band". I was wearing it under the belly when still pregnant for support and now wearing it over my csection incision. I think it helps with pain postop since I am not good at taking it easy. Don't think this one will help shrink the belly as it doesn't cover your whole belly.

    I had a csection and they gave me one at the hospital that I used and it helped a lot :) and I also bought one from Amazon for the later weeks that has been helping a lot too :D Not expensive and it helps support my back and slim my waist ;)

    I think any band will help out with the pain. Igot my band from motherhood maternity. It helped out a lot with pain now I'm wearing it to help slim my hips & belly until I can exercise again. My bf has also noticed a great difference in my belly. But I also been eating a lot of fruits & vegetables & protein & no more sugar goodies . I recommend getting one & you don't need an overly expensive one. Got mine for 20$.

    It was necessary after my last pregnancy. I bought another for this pregnancy that is breathable since it is mid summer!

    For the c section mothers, I also had a c section 2 weeks ago. I got a binder at the hospital but I'm so scared to wear it because I'm afraid moving around with it would open up my incision. I got staples removed about 1 week ago, I did notice now on one side I have lump above my incision.

    Thank you guys for all your comments. I'm not having a C-section that I know of now... I do have to get induced due to high blood pressure so I'll be a mommy Thursday 7/23 at sometime! I was just trying to find something that would help out with getting me back to my old self and would help with any back pains I might have.

    Thanks everyone!!

    It just helps you feel like your guts aren't gonna spill out :) after delivery your tummy muscles don't work and you feel very very loose! The belly band just helps the belly feel a little more supported. My midwife actually recommends only wearing one for short periods of time because you want your stomach muscles to have to start working again. The band lets them be "lazy".
