Hello again ladies! So, I've been lurking around on a few other boards and reading and gathering info. I was wondering if anyone on here has tried or is going to try belly banding after delivery?? It's just something I've been reading about and was kind of wondering if anyone here might have had any experience with them?? I'm seriously contemplating trying one out after delivery.

Thanks for any input or thoughts...

It's supposedly a band of some sort that you can buy to wrap around your belly that will help support your body fat, organs and so forth. It basically is an aide as well in helping you loose the extra belly weight after baby is born. I've read that a lot of women are banded after c-sections or abdominal surgeries, but I was curious about their use after vaginal births. One specific product I heard mentioned on another site was the Belly Bandit...you can find it on the Target website but that is specifically aimed at weight loss- not really dealing with pregnancy.

A lot of women in my area in CA use these products. They kind of give your belly support to get back to it's old shape almost like a heavy duty girdle. Most women swear by it. I plan to use one right after.

I plan on continuing to wear mine after delivery. I have a "Be band". I have no idea where to but them because it was a hand-me-down from a friend. But that thing is awesome! I intend to use it to strap down my jiggly parts. LOL

I used one after my panni removal in may and it looks like a big elastic girdle thing..I became addicted to mine and I planned on using it again after my c-section.!!

I had 2 of these given to me hand me downs:) I also just bought 2 pair of pregnancy spanx! I love them!! I got one mid thigh and one mid calf open toe! They're soooo comfy and all the "pg crinkles" that pop on me are now smoothed out! I may have to try the bands after delivery too.

I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:) After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great! Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should. Now it's my turn to lose this weight! It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!
