A post pregnancy question
This blog is for all you mommies out there... I have this question and I hope some of you will have some kind of an answer for me! I've heard things about wearing a corset after pregnancy. Or... some kind of a band that is similar to help your rib cage shrink back to it's normal size and also, help your tummy resume it's original size. I don't know of anyone personally who has worn anything like this so I'm really curious to know... did anyone wear something along these lines? If so... did it help? Was it worth it? Did anyone not wear anything like this and feel as though everything pretty much went back to normal regardless? Sometimes I feel kinda vain worrying about things like this... but what mom doesn't want to get back into shape after pregnancy?

I was planning on putting my corset on right after having my babies, but it hurt too much. I think twin stomachs are a little bigger after giving birth :). I wore it 3-4 days later for like 2 months and I feel like it made a big difference. Its crazy how out of place everything is and I think it helps to push everything back together. Maybe your stomach would go back if you wore the corset or not, but I for sure think it speeds up the process.
You are so funny. I totally have two of them! :) The first one is called the "belly band-it" They sell them online. It totally didn't fit the first few days after I had Kamryn. But after I slimmed down a bit I wore it for a couple weeks. -It was a little bulky under clothes though. I just went out and bought a second one at Nordstrom Rack. I think it was like $15.00 which didn't seem bad. It is a lot thinner than the belly band-it and you can't tell I'm wearing it under clothes. I like it a lot. It sucks and tucks everything away. :)
I really wish someone would have told me how big my belly was going to be even after I gave birth. I was a little shocked at how big I stayed for the first week or two. I even had a stranger ask me when I was due!
Sorry for the novel...I'm sure you are in a lot better shape than me and will shrink right back down!
Good luck with everything, can't wait to see the little guys!
I tried one out but I couldn't wear it because of my C-Section scar, it hurt too bad... Other than that, I haven't heard that it helps a whole lot... :) But something to try! :)
whoa. never heard of it. haha that is awesome though.
breastfeeding is the best diet in the world. everything adjusted back into its normal pre-pregnancy place in 3 months. doing prego excerices while I was pregnant I think helped big time with post pregnancy recovery. Don't feel vain. Its natural for woman to want to feel pretty and attractive. and especially to get their body back after pregnancy!
one of my husband's friends wore it and she has a skinnier waist than before her kid! I found out about it too late or else I would have... But everytime I work out I wear one of those waist trimmers... I LOVE IT! Next pregnancy I'm getting two of them and wrapping my entire tummy... from below my chest down to my lower back... And... I cant' wait for that because my abs STILL haven't gone completely together, so it'll be nice to start from scratch again! Congrats on the twins by the way! I'm so happy you had such a great experiecne carrying them! xoxo, Kristen
