Many women used to ask for belt during pregnancy or after delivery. Manufacturers of belt or body shaping garments advertise showing their essentialities for preventing muscle pain and giving pre pregnancy shape to your body. Actually this is not true as a whole .
Just to understand and
decide about the use of such products we need to have a look at the
structure of the belly.
Belly is made up of
abdominal muscles which get stretched and elongated during your
pregnancy, to give space for the baby to grow. Muscles itself work as
sling to bear the stress , so practically there is no need to use
belt, unless prescribed due to severe weakness of abdominal muscles
or back pain or any other pathologies.
After delivery muscles
come to pre pregnancy status, though not fully. Moreover for fat
deposition of tummy makes you to worry about your figure.
Now if you use belt or
body shaping garments to tuck your tummy in, it will work until you
are wearing it and again it will come out at once your remove the
belt or garment.
More over it can be
uncomfortable in humid or hot weather. Instead what you can do is
start abdominal muscle strengthening exercises and exercises to
reduce your body fat
But remember do not
compromise with your food and nutrition as you are recovering from
delivery phase and you also need to nourish your baby. Continue
breast feeding, as the studies show that the women who continue
breast feeding for longer time get back earlier to pregnancy level
of uterus and body shape. It helps you to reduce your body fat and it
prevents excessive bleeding and delayed menstruation as well which
help you from becoming anemic. Choose the right and be happy.
