Diet and exercise are certainly two options for getting in shape. But, these methods can take months or even years to show results. For new moms, eating properly is key to providing for their newborn baby and, for some, exercise simply isn’t an option. Women who have undergone a Cesarean section can have a difficult time slimming down their waistline due to diastasis recti. This condition in which the abdominal walls remain separated after pregnancy or a C-section incision can cause frustration and lead to a lack of confidence.
Moms who are facing cesarean section recovery should begin their research early to best prepare for the challenges she will face after delivery. From a slimmer waistline to a faster recovery, the benefits of using a postpartum compression corset are long-lasting and can offer moms the confidence they need in their new role.
Without mid-section support, however, it can be difficult for postpartum women to complete everyday tasks, like feeding, walking and carrying baby; household chores; and getting in and out of bed. The pain that follows a C-section delivery can be eliminated with a postpartum compression corset. By applying continuous, gentle compression to the incision area, the risk of opening is greatly reduced and the fear of accidentally being bumped is eliminated. This compression also encourages circulation and reduces swelling caused by fluid retention. New moms can live their lives free of discomfort and the cesarean section recovery time is greatly reduced.
During a C-section, the abdominal walls are separated to reveal the uterus, stretching connecting tissues and resulting in excess skin. Not only does the use of a dual-closure girdle reduce the appearance of extra bulging tissue, but it works to quickly rebuild the stomach walls and permanently eliminate the undesirable effects of diastasis recti.
