Looking after yourself after pregnancy is an important part of the pregnancy and birth process that is all too commonly overlooked in western society. Mothers who neglect proper care after birth, commonly suffer body and back ache, low body image, low self confidence and often depression.
Western women are quickly discovering, the many reasons to continue with the ancient practice of belly wrapping, and that it is a key secret in ensuring restored self confidence and restoring your stomach to pre-pregnancy shape and size.
Not only is it believed that constant increased pressure against the abdominal area reduces the size of the swollen uterus, flattens the belly and redefines the waistline helping you to get back into shape quickly and naturally, it has also been shown to give additional support to the legs and back all while providing much needed support for your postnatal belly.
For breast feeding mothers, belly wrapping after pregnancy can also help support your posture during feeding, keeping your back straight, thus reducing associated back and shoulder pain and minimising fatigue.
