belly wrapping?

Any one else doing it?
I didn't with my 1st and had a very lose belly after and was bloated for a while. With my 2nd I wanted to and brought the stuff but I didn't expect that from my hips down I would have been swollen from bad circulation  and water retention I couldnt. With this one since iv had no swelling to very minimal I'm when I leave hospital I'm planning on having my husband help wrap my belly with ace bandages and also I'm gonna put on my cami  body slimmer to help add more support. Iv also user a size large body slimmer through out this pregnancy to support the belly up with my maternity belt.

Maternity belts are awesome. They help with support  and with sciatic nerve pain. With this one I totally anticipated more pain and bad circulation  and other bad symptoms like my 2nd. But luckily it wasn't so I'm really glad I had my maternity  belts.

My midwife gave me a wrap for my sciatic pain during pregnancy. Haven't used it yet.. but honestly I think I'm going to put it to use after pregnancy too.While out for walks.. maybe it'll relieve some of the back pain.

It's not for bringing your body back to normal but  to minimize the discomfort  of pain after birth and to add back support and abdominal support.
