How to use abdominal belt and pelvic belt correctly

In order to have a baby, mothers' abdominal muscles will be stretched, their abdominal skin will be stretched and their pelvis will be widened. Some new mothers don't control their abdomen during confinement, which is very unfavorable for the recovery of maternal abdomen. So, the so-called? Experts believe that the correct use of postpartum abdominal belt is of great benefit to maternal abdominal recovery.

It is worth noting that the mother who gave birth naturally can only use the postpartum abdomen belt after the month. Some mothers think that there is no wound in the abdomen after natural delivery, and they can use the abdominal belt immediately, but it is not. There are still a lot of body fluids such as blood stasis and gas in the postpartum abdomen, which need to be naturally eliminated through the circulation of the body. If the abdominal band is used too early after delivery, it will only limit the blood circulation in the body, which is not conducive to the discharge of lochia in the body, and is not conducive to the smooth breathing and the recovery of organs. In addition, premature use of the abdominal belt will also stress the pelvis, which may force the soft pelvis to expand outward, which is not conducive to the recovery of the pelvis.

Under normal circumstances, it is recommended that mothers who give birth naturally start to use pelvic correction belt after their postpartum body recovers better, and then use special postpartum abdomen belt 1 month to help shape.

2. Use pelvic girdle first after delivery.

No matter whether the parturient is in a natural delivery or a cesarean section, their pelvis will be widened due to the increase of hormones, so as to prepare for a natural delivery. However, the study found that the female hormone did not decrease within 42 days after delivery, and the pelvis still had good plasticity. Therefore, applying appropriate external force to the pelvis within 42 days after delivery can effectively help the pelvis return to the prenatal state. In other words, unlike the recovery state of women's abdomen, the pelvis can only recover effectively during the second month.

In a word, whether it is caesarean section or natural delivery, within three days after delivery, as long as you feel good. You should start using pelvic braces. It should be noted that the pelvic girdle is different from the general postpartum abdominal girdle, and its position is relatively low. Its main function is to exert inward pressure on the pelvis, thus promoting recovery.
