Benefits of Postpartum Belly Binding
Postpartum belly binding is nothing new. In fact, it has been a part of traditional cultural practices for centuries in Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world. Many women discovered that wrapping their belly with fabric to apply gentle compression may help reduce swelling, increase blood flow, and reduce the risk of developing Diastasis Recti. Diastasis recti is the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles during and after pregnancy. The rectus abdominis runs vertically along the front of your stomach – it’s frequently referred to as someone’s “six-pack abs.” With the increased popularity in the United States, women have borrowed this tradition and also enjoyed the many benefits of belly binding. A Belly Binder is often worn after a vaginal birth or after a c-section birth to help protect the incision and promote healing.
