girdle after birth
Well I'm gonna give birth in about 3 weeks or so and well I'm Hispanic and my family has this tradition thing that when ever a woman gives birth they put on a girdle afterwards to help reduce allbthe weight gained is that true??? Cause my husband and I went to the mall and he kept bugging about getting me this girdle to use after birth. Well my question here is does it really help to do that after birth to help reduce fat?
Pibarra88 I know my family also said that. They said I have to wait 40 days no cleaning, no cooking, no barefoot, no sex, ect .... and with that girdle
Im hispanic too.... lol my family is making me wear one too... and I didnt buy one I actually forgot and the day I gave birth my sis went out and bought me one.. lol crazy mexicans. Anyways its supposed to help put everything back together or else you will have a saggy uterus.. lol... and im sure u have a list of things u can and cant eat??.... and things u can and cant do??.. I like the whole not cleaning part.. haha
Yeah I just want to get fit once the baby is here because I was fit before but all this weight I gained (40) lbs with this pregnancy by the way my first just feels like I'm going to have trouble but I believe I can do it :)
That's awesome I got mine that covers all my legs all the way to my boobs front and back but I'm a little concerned about it being to tight but Im going to wear it
It really helped me i put iton then started doing crunshes ect and my tummy is flat again flater then befor and slowly its becomeing less jiggly :)
I'm going to put mine in a few days after birth n I'm not planning in buying one too tight either I wanna be comfy
Okay so it's okay to wear it cause I suppose it's going to hurr like hell imagine putting on that girdle after birth
I just got one from Burlington. I got it cuz i dont want my stomach to be a saggy & wiggly ew lol im 18 & i wana be a hot momma lol
After I gave birth (c-section) they gave me one but it looks like a Big ace bandage they say it helps with the swelling n im only to take it off to shower
I'm Dominican and 7 months my mother tell me this everyday that I need to buy one n put it as soon as i give birth n to keep it on for the six weeks but I'm going to ask my doctor first
O.o I'm so confused now so when can I put it on I know my mom is gonna want me to put it on after birth
