What is a Postpartum Belly Wrap?
A post-pregnancy belly wrap is an abdominal compression wrap providing support, pain relief and a quick recovery process for women after experiencing child labor or a cesarean (also known as C-Section) labor. The best postpartum pregnancy belly wrap effectively applies compression evenly throughout the lower and upper abdomen areas, along with the lower back for ideal comfort and pain relief. A postpartum stomach wrap also helps in reducing swelling after pregnancy by boosting blood circulation through pressure and compression of the abdomen area. Overall, a postpartum girdle promotes rapid healing, making the recovery process much quicker and comfortable for new mothers. The post-pregnancy stomach wrap is very easy to apply with easy adjustability for optimal comfort and compression. BraceAbility offers its very own abdominal binder to provide mothers with proper support and to tighten the tummy after pregnancy.
Benefits of Wearing a Postpartum Abdominal Binder
There are many benefits of wearing a post-pregnancy tummy wrap for new mothers. After pregnancy and labor, many women struggle with having loose, excess skin- primarily in the abdominal area. A belly support for pregnancy will help keep this excess loose skin together through compression, allowing mothers to get into their old clothes faster and feel comfortable in their skin. When pairing a postpartum binder with exercise and proper nutrition, mothers are able to get their pre-pregnancy bodies back in no time.
After pregnancy and childbirth, the abdominal and lower back muscles are very weak and vulnerable. The stress and pressure put on your back and abdomen from pregnancy can cause immense pain and discomfort that can lead to serious injury if not treated. Common pain that many pregnant mothers experience is Sacroiliac Joint Pain, which is chronic pain in the lower back due to weak sacroiliac joints.
