Do you plan to use a post partum belly band to get your mid section back into shape?
Have you heard that they were effective? Are they safe? Where can you buy them?
I think I read that celebrities use them (plus trainers) to get back into shape.

Re: Do you plan to use a post partum belly band to get your mid section back into shape?
I was thinking about getting one. Baby is due in May which means summer is around the corner. I feel it might help, but I'd like to hear from other girls if they've used it.

Thanks!
I can see why it would be helpful - it is very similar to how they wrap you after plastic surgery. I wonder how comfortable it is when you sitting down and BFing...

Both of my cousins used it.. and they swear by it as well!! And the nurse at my birthing class recommended both the band and control top undies... just to compress everything.. I will be doing this and praying that it works!

A majority of my friends have used this and swear by it.
I think there is a less expensive version than the Belly Bandit, like this Madela one. It's only $19.99 in comparison to $40+.
It's not quite as cute, but it gets the job done  Image Attachment(s):

I was wondering if the medela one wasn't for slimming. i guess i will have to ask when i go to the store.
when i googled postpartum band, there was one featured on the tyra banks show. of course it is more expensive at $62. http://www.babooshbaby.com/
i'll probably buy all of them - medela, belly bandit, and the baboosh. Getting my tummy back is important to me.

I've seen them at BRU
I was thinking about it, although my belly wasn't in the greatest shape before being PG
maybe it will help anyways? I think I'll try it

Re: Do you plan to use a post partum belly band to get your mid section back into shape?
My obgyn in ny gave me one while I was still in the hospital... To be honest I dont think they work all that well.. If you had a c-section it actually hurts like hell... I will be doing the same exact thing I did after DS was born... Nothing... I just ate right and took long walks... and I felt great...

Me too. I used it to keep me from feeling like my insides were falling out. I don't think it really had any impact on getting back into shape though.

I am looking all this up on the web and it says belly binding can cause a prolapsed uterus and blood clots as it restricts your vessels....

Re: Do you plan to use a post partum belly band to get your mid section back into shape?
I bought one, tried it while I was in the hospital and it was really uncomfortable. I never wore it. My stomach was almost 100% flat in a week, and has returned completely back to normal.
