Belly Band Postpartum?

Is anyone considering wearing a bellyband postpartum for abdomen and pelvic floor healing? Does anyone know how long you should wait after vaginal birth before you start to wear it? Do we think it’s a hoax, or actually helpful?

Having my 4th c section on the 16th and I’ll be wearing mine right after having baby, I found it helpful when I did wear it rather than the times I didn’t, the hospital gave me one but I prefer the fridamom one

@Raven is the band you are wearing the full faja one or the one that just protects the incision??

@Nadjia https://www.target.com/p/frida-mom-postpartum-abdominal-support-binder/-/A-83387854 This is the one I’ve used

@Raven thank you!

I’ve only worn one post c section, not post vaginal deliveries. But I know for sure it was helpful after my c section! I doubt there’s a specific time when you can/can’t wear one if it makes you more comfortable! For me it was uncomfortable without a tank top or something under it and gave me like a heat rash so I didn’t wear it for long periods of time or when I was up/moving around much.

Definitely putting it on as soon as I give birth, I feel like it helped putting everything back in its place . (With my first baby) Muscles, skin & just recovery in general 🫶🏽

@Aime are we allowed to put it on right away? I heard some women say you should wait 40 days and then start.

The hospital gave me one last time i delivered and put it on a couple of hours after i had the baby. It was not super tight The one I have is a lot better so im going with that 🫶🏽 I don’t think I can wait the 40 days
