Twin Pregnancy Recovery
Now that I’m officially a “twin mom”, I decided to start something I like to call Twin Mom Tuesdays were I share my favorite twin mom items!. A lot of new moms/soon-to-be-twin-moms have been asking me to review different products, so I’m excited to start!
Today I started wearing something I SO wish I had bought with my first pregnancy, but didn’t— the Bellefit Dual Closure Girdle!
mrskyleeaustin
This thing is amazing for twin moms because we all KNOW that abs are totally none existent once those babies arrive! I also had a c-section so the girdle gives me the extra support I need right now!
I can’t wait to share more about my journey with Bellefit and my transformation!
#transformationtuesday The belly is SLOWLY deflating! Haha
The bottom right pic is me now at three weeks postpartum with twins! Can you believe my belly was that huge only three weeks ago?
With the help of my @bellefit girdle I feel my abs and posture getting stronger and uterus going back into place.
Sure, I’ll be left with some crazy sagging skin, but time will tell what my final result will be! Stay tuned! (Can’t wait to add some working out back into the equation!)

Post-Pregnancy Compression Garment
2 Weeks Postpartum and discovered this amazing @bellefit compression garment to help with recovery.
Wish I had known about it since Day 1! Thankful for their super fast shipping.
I haven’t been cleared to get back to my normal fitness routine yet and I am ok with that. Even though I feel great and totally like I could bust out some burpees, I definitely want to allow my body to heal and fully recover.
That doesn’t mean that I have to sit idly by and wait to start the post baby bounce back journey.
This medical grade garment is going to give me a much needed head start. I’ve only been wearing it for a few hours and I can already tell a difference in the support in my back and core.
I am excited to see how it helps with swelling and bringing everything back together. Also, peep that pineapple bun. It’s my go-to mom hairstyle these days.

Abdominal Separation Recovery After Pregnancy
“I’ve shared before that I had some ab separation after Maya. It’s not the most pleasant experience ever, and it can be a bit frustrating.
I’m happy there are companies like @bellefit to support women in postpartum, both figuratively and literally. Get this, the company is headquartered in my hometown of sunny Weston, Florida! I could walk to the main office from my childhood home. So obviously they are really really really cool people!
I’ve been trying out the corset model and I have to say I wish I had known about it earlier in postpartum.
Those first couple of weeks I felt like all my internal organs were floating around and I was very protective of my belly. Having really solid support, compression and protection would’ve been great.Will it eliminate diastasis recti or make you lose weight? Not exactly, that’s not the intention.
It’s geared toward recovery and healing. To help support and strengthen those abdominal muscles as you get used to using them again.
They have sizes and models for all kinds of scenarios: from natural birth to c-section.
It doesn’t replace healthy nutrition, exercise and mindset, and frankly I don’t think anything does. It’s a great tool to have on your team though. I’m going to be doing a giveaway shortly, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime you can click the link in my profile to learn more, and use the code SARAH20 to get $20 off if you purchase anything!”

First Baby vs. Second Baby
There’s often a feeling that second-time parents are old pros at this whole baby thing, but that doesn’t tell the whole story.
Sure, there are things you know now that you didn’t know then, and confidence is justified. But there are still many new things you will learn along the way as you gear up to welcome your second baby.
Worries and Doubts
Many parents find that the biggest change between their first and second pregnancies is the worry or doubt that can come with the unknown.
Having already experienced parenthood firsthand, you’ll know how you respond to late-night feedings, diaper overflow emergencies, stuffy infant noses and breastfeeding challenges.
There will still be some areas of uncertainty, especially because you don’t yet know what it’s like to care for a baby while also caring for an older child in the mix.
Ask for help from family and friends in the first few days to help you with this big change. Before you know it you will get the hang of it and establish a routine.
The most common worry is wondering how you can possibly love your second child as much as you love your firstborn. This is a tricky one to describe, but when your baby is born your instinct to love both children in their own unique way will just kick in on its own.
Pre-Baby Prep
Moms often joke that they lose their optimism about a Pinterest-ready nursery and other perfectionistic fantasies after the first baby.
You’re going to have a much better idea of exactly what you need, which products you prefer and how you want everything set up and organized for round two.
This often means that you won’t need to spend as much time researching and discovering helpful tools and techniques.
Plus, you probably have some stored baby gear from your first child that you can put back in action for number two.
Pregnancy
The twists and turns associated with pregnancy will be less of a surprise now that you’ve been through it before. The first time, you probably knew you’d feel tired, nauseous and uncomfortable in certain ways, but you didn’t have an accurate idea of exactly what that means for you.
Now you’ll feel much less surprised by just how exhausted you feel or the weird food-related aversions and cravings you experience.
It’s not all going to be the same, though. Some mamas note that each of their children act differently in the womb. Some fetuses are quite active in utero, while others keep it calm.
This is your first indication that parenthood can be even less predictable when you’ve got more than one kid.
Milestones
As your second child comes into his or her own, you may be surprised to find that you are filled with wonder at each new development the second time around. Sure, you’ve seen it before, but every baby moves at their own pace, so things aren’t going to happen in the exact same way.
Your younger little one is an individual with unique traits and a special personality that manifests itself in the same delightful and occasionally frustrating ways as your older child.
This is one area in which your experience of raising two kids will always be both similar and different at the same time. Getting to watch a baby blossom into an individual with special personal characteristics will always come with some surprises.
The body’s response to pregnancy is another area that’s likely to be fairly predictable for second-time moms. If you experienced some abdominal discomfort after your first pregnancy, you can anticipate that for your second baby by planning to incorporate our postpartum support garments into your recovery.
Last Month of Pregnancy Checklist
Are you prepared for the home stretch as you come towards the end of your pregnancy? This checklist will help you make sure you have all your ducks in a row before your little one arrives.
Last Month of Pregnancy Checklist
https://youtu.be/BPDMCEckrRo
1. Do something nice for yourself.
New moms tend to share a few things in common, one of which is a complete focus on their baby’s needs to the expense of their own. Take all the time you can to pamper yourself at this point. Get your hair styled or cut. Get a manicure and take care of any other personal care indulgence you can think of.
2. Enjoy social time with adults.
Chances are that you and your newborn aren’t going to be having deep conversations about current events or catchup chats about the latest gossip. Get your fill while you can. Go to a brunch with your girlfriends, have a romantic date with your partner. Spend some quality time with your bestie. Make the most of your relatively open dance card while it lasts.
3. Get your house ready.
You’ve probably spent the last few months super focused on the nursery, the baby’s bathroom, baby-proofing and making room in the kitchen for bottles and other feeding supplies. As you put the finishing touches on these tasks, don’t forget to set yourself up for success too. Do your laundry, stock your pantry and make a list of any upcoming household chores will need to be taken care of while you’re busy taking care of the baby. Your partner, family and close friends can help you do all of this both now and later, so don’t stress out!
4. Test out your gear.
It’s a good idea to make sure all of your baby gear is unpacked and in a place you’ll remember. But, you can take this a step further. Test everything now so you can understand how it works and be sure you have everything you need to keep things up and running. Perhaps that motorized crib mobile isn’t actually working properly, or the stroller you ordered has a mystery lever you’re afraid to touch. Figure all this stuff out now so you don’t have yet another thing on your plate once the baby arrives. You can also take this time to start looking at girdles, nursing pajamas and other garments that you’ll need after your delivery.
5. Line up your announcements.
Get excited about the baby’s arrival by looking up birth announcements. You can even book a photoshoot with a newborn photographer if you’re so inclined. If not, be sure to clear out the storage on your camera or phone so you can take tons of pictures of the new arrival to include with your announcement.
You’ll want to free up plenty of space on your phone and your partner’s phone and maybe even invest in a separate camera anyway. You’re going to be taking a ton of photos in the next several years. Why not set up an at-home photo printer while you’re at it so you can have hard copies to frame as well?

Body Wraps After Pregnancy: A Great Combination
Body wrapping is a popular spa technique that involves skin masking with clay, ground herbs, botanical extracts, seaweed, algae, or honey to detoxify and nourish the skin. After the application of the mask, you're swaddled in plastic and cloth bandages to encourage the natural heat from your body to open your pores and allow the benefits to soak in.
While there isn't any evidence to show that these treatments promote weight loss or effectively remove any toxins from the body, it's an excellent self-care practice that can help new moms reduce stress and feel rejuvenated.
In this article, we'll discuss how you can achieve the benefits of a luxurious spa treatment into your own home, along with some tips on shopping for the best postpartum girdle that will ultimately be the best support recovery after pregnancy.

You Should NOT Body Wrap During Pregnancy
It is not recommended to do body wraps during pregnancy
During pregnancy, body wraps — whether from a spa or home-made — are not recommended.
Pregnant women should not wrap the midsection to seek to constrict the belly. Your uterus is expanding for a growing baby, and you should not add any tension to the midsection.
Along with hot showers, whirlpools, or anything that can increase the core body temperature, body wraps with their invariably heat component are not appropriate for pregnant women.
Increased body temperatures can bring about a miscarriage or harm the baby. High heat environments are to be avoided without question.
How To Make Your Own Body Wraps At Home
Sometimes it's not practical to get to the spa as often as we'd like — but it is possible to treat yourself a luxury spa treatment at home.
You can either purchase pre-made body wrap kits or mix up your own with simple ingredients. Just make sure, when you're shopping for a pre-made kit, that it doesn't include any nasty ingredients. As a general rule, if you can't pronounce it — skip it.
To get the best benefits from your wrap, jump into a warm shower and exfoliate.
Exfoliation scrubs off dead skin and reveals soft, supple, rejuvenated skin. The heat from the shower will open your pores to allow the ingredients of your wrap to sink into deeper layers.
Recipe 1: Green Tea Clay
1/2 cup loose leaf green tea or matcha powder
1 cup bentonite powder
3 – 5 drops of peppermint essential oil
Mix these ingredients with water to form a mud-paste. Don't use any metal utensils as it affects the quality of the bentonite powder. Incorporate all the ingredients with water to ensure there are no powder-pockets. The mixture should be thick and apply smoothly to the skin.
Apply liberally to your belly, cover with plastic wrap, and then use a fabric belly wrap or belly band sinch the stomach. Leave it on for 20 – 40 minutes before washing off.
Recipe 2: Epsom Salts And Floral Herbs
1 cup Epson salts
2 cups hot chamomile herbal tea
1 tablespoon of rosehip oil
3 – 6 drops of rose essential oil
Mix the ingredients until the salt partially dissolves. Take a cotton cloth and soak into the water that has cooled slightly but is still warm and wrap it around the belly. Next, cover with plastic, and then with a thick belly band for one hour.
Recipe 3: Papaya And Honey
1 cup fresh papaya puree
5 tablespoons of unpasteurized honey
Mix these ingredients together and massage onto your belly and cover in plastic. This mixture is a bit messy, so you may want to use a thicker towel or cloth around the waist to make sure the mask stays on your belly and off your floor and furniture. Set your timer for 20 minutes and wash off in the shower.
Post pregnancy, a body wrap treatment will feel soothing and may give the impression of a slimmer body. However, wraps do little to actually support a new mother's body.
The most benefits you can get from these wrap treatments includes softer, nourished skin, and some deserved you-time.
While these spa treatments are delightful, there is a better postpartum recovery option that can help you gain your body back after giving birth — postpartum girdles and corsets.
Homemade scrubs along with a postpartum girdle are the best combination treatment.
Do Belly Wraps, Binders, And Post-Pregnancy Corsets Work?
Absolutely, there's something to say about compression therapy for recovery.
Belly binding by wrapping fabric around the woman's midsection after delivery has been practiced throughout many cultures for generations. It relieves pain and offers gentle support to the pelvis, back, and abs without adding too much constriction.
Postpartum wraps can come in various styles — from traditional, wide cloth-like bandages that are wrapped multiple times around the torso to more padded fabrics held together with velcro straps.
A faja is Spanish for a 'girdle' style that originated in Colombia to reduce the swelling and restore the elasticity of the skin after abdominal surgery. In Japan, mothers use a sarashi, a bleached cotton cloth that's wrapped around the waist after childbirth.
After delivery, your hospital may even provide you with a belly belt to relieve pain and give you added comfort. However, these aren't the best garments for your postpartum recovery.
The best result in combo with spa-treatment body wrapping comes from a high-quality post-pregnancy girdle.
Girdles, abdominal binders, and corsets explicitly designed for the postpartum body offer a superior level of compression and comfort.
The structural failure of belly wraps is that it tends to require a lot of refastening to keep the level of compression high. For moms on-the-go with a new baby, you don't have time to adjust your garment constantly. Postpartum corsets girdles and corsets offered by Bellefit are designed to deliver medical-grade compression day and night with 3 adjustable hook straps and breathable, flexible fabrics.
Another feature in which girdles excel in is that it's discreet under your clothing. The Bellefit Girdles come in three panty-style options and eight designs to suit your style, all virtually seamless under your clothing.
Bellefit Postpartum Girdles Come In 8 Styles Sizes XS – 3XL
No Garment Or Spa Treatment Will Magically Shed Fat
Contrary to ads you may encounter, there are no garments or spa treatments that will melt the pregnancy weight off of you. Healthy weight loss involves managing your stress levels, eating a well-balanced diet, and exercise.
That being said, waist training can assist you in getting back into your health routines sooner by providing your abdominal muscles and lower back support and easing pain.
Here are some of the ways Bellefit postpartum girdles and corsets, in combination with healthy habits, can get you to your pre pregnancy body again.
Why Girdles And Corsets Are The Best Investment For The Postpartum Belly
1. Support Abdominal Muscles And Aid In Diastasis Recti Recovery
By your third trimester, your uterus stretches to the size of a watermelon. Taking up space from your pubic area all the way up to the bottom of your rib cage to accommodate your growing baby. To make room, your organs displace, and your abdominal muscles stretch.
Diastasis recti is common in pregnant women. Your six-pack muscles separate at the midline, drastically weakening your core, giving you the appearance of an extra saggy belly, even after you lose the baby weight.
To repair the damage of diastasis naturally, you need to strengthen your core postpartum. As soon as you get the green light from your doctor to begin exercising (6 – 8 weeks after delivery), wear your postpartum girdle during your exercises to provide your core with the stability it needs to keep proper form during your workouts.
2. Waist Training Improves Your Posture
This is one of the oldest tricks in the books — improving your posture results in a slimmer appearance.
How? When your back is hunched over, you're compressing your midsection, accentuating undesirable excess flab.
A proper fitting belly binder hugs your belly all the way up to just below your bra line. This helps to keep your back upright and straight. Your shoulders will naturally pull back to sit overtop of the hip joints, which activates your ab muscles.
A waist trainer not only trains your waist, but it teaches your body how to stand in alignment for great posture.
3. Compression To Reduce Inflammation
Compression therapy involves applying steady pressure to a sore or painful area to increase blood supply. This increased circulation can promote healing, reduce blood clotting, and minimizes painful swelling and inflammation.
You can attribute a lot of your bloating to water retention and swelling. All Bellefit garments are FDA-approved and provide medical-grade compression to support healing day and night.
How To A Shop For Post-Pregnancy Girdles
While belly wraps definitely have a place in the healing process after giving birth, you'll get the best results with a high-quality postpartum girdle or corset.
Here are some key factors to look for while you're shopping online or in-store for a girdle.
Look for breathable and flexible materials — for the best results, you should wear your garment around the clock. The material matters for your comfort.
Adjustable hooks and straps — your body will undergo a lot of changes after pregnancy as you readjust to your pre-pregnancy size. Look for a corset that offers multiple levels of compression to support your body as you change.
Ease of use — You don't want to fight with your garment every time you get in and out of it (who has the energy for that?). Make sure your girdle is easy to put on and take off with easy zipper opening and non-fuss clasps.
C-section friendly — If you had a c-section, check to see if the retailer has options in their garments that protect your c-section incision, such as padded zippers.
Accessible crotch opening — Especially after the first few weeks, you can expect a lot of leakages. A garment with easy access to your crotch allows you to add heavy flow pads and use the bathroom without having to remove the whole girdle.
Medical-grade — There are a lot of brands on the market selling waist trainers, belly bands, belly wraps, and trainers for women. Most of these are purely cosmetic. Medical-grade compression will provide the best benefits for compression therapy and is designed for the postpartum belly.
Bellefit has the most extensive collection of FDA-registered post-pregnancy girdles and corsets from sizes XS – 3XL, which makes it easy to find a style and size that suits your postpartum recovery needs.

Belly Bandage vs Body Shaper – Which is Best After Pregnancy?
Do you ever look at celebrity gossip magazines and wonder how these celebrities look so flawless in these form-fitting dresses?
Their secret weapon is a body shaper.
Shape wear underwear is excellent for a night out — however, one of the downsides is that it often doesn't provide enough support for post-pregnancy bodies.
Every mom experiencing anxiety over their post-baby body has wished for something to make the transition back to normal easier.
What product offers the best control for the tummy post-pregnancy?
A belly bandage is a step in the right direction — You can wear it while pregnant, and some options provide gentle support as you recover from delivery. However, we have another option that takes the best of both worlds.
Read on to find the best body shaping garment for post-pregnancy bodies.
When should you wear a body shaper?
Body shaper undergarments are great for when you want to look flawless beneath form-fitting outfits.
Ladies' body shapers are designed to appear seamless under clothing while maintaining light compression around the midsection to give the illusion of a slimmer body.
You can think of body shapers, such as the popular Spanx, as a band-aid patch to the extra weight around the belly. They help to smooth and minimize, but it's not going to help you effectively lose weight.
The benefits of body shapers include:
A comfortable, seamless fit
Available in various colors, shapes, and sizes
A toned appearance
Affordable
When should you wear a belly band?
Abdominal bands or wraps hug the midsection to provide gentle compression. There are band options to wear while you're pregnant to support the back and abdomen as the baby grows and other varieties designed after delivery.
Do postpartum wraps help with post-delivery pain and support?
Yes, they do — but they're not always the most comfortable fit. Because these garments only wrap around the midsection, they can easily get displaced. Cheaper belly bandages are often made with bulky, itchy materials, which aren't the most discrete under clothing.
The benefits of belly bandages include:
Available in different sizes and styles (before and after pregnancy)
Comfortable fit
Offer shaper compression benefits
Gentle compression to reduce severity of the pain post-baby delivery
Encourages improved posture
very light support abdominal band
circular knit band with targeted support zones
bulky midsection belts with velcro
What's the best post-pregnancy garment?
Body shaping underwear empower women's confidence while offering comfort and support — Bellefit Maternity takes this one step further. The Bellefit Postpartum Girdle provides the benefits of both a belly bandage and a body shaper for women who have recently given birth.
Wearing a Bellefit C-Section Recovery Corset or Dual-Closure Girdle protects and supports the c-section incision. It simultaneously compresses the abdominal area and uterus to help reduce swelling due to fluid retention.
Those suffering from diastasis recti can find comfort with a postpartum girdle. They're made with durable, flexible materials that provide high-grade compression to minimize the pain after delivery and support the back and abdominal muscles, so you can get back to your normal range of motion faster.
The best way to lose the extra baby weight is exercise and a healthy diet, so the sooner you get moving again, the sooner you can get shedding the excess weight.
Bellefit Postpartum Girdles and Corsets — Medical Grade, FDA-Registered, Recommended since 2008, Available in 8 Styles & in Plus Sizes
The benefits of Bellefit girdles and corsets:
Offers the same seamless toning benefits as body shapers and belly bands
Medical-grade compression to reduce pain and swelling
High-quality, comfortable materials
Comes in different styles and adjustable sizes (from XS - 3XL)
Added padding to protect c-section incisions
Excellent to wear during exercises for its abdominal and back support
Accessible crotch opening with 3 rows of adjustable hooks to accommodate heavy flow pads
How long should you wear your girdle or belly band?
You can wear a post-pregnancy girdle or belly bandage 24/7. Many new moms find that wearing their compression garments alleviate pain symptoms, which helps them get a better night's sleep.
The Verdict: Bellefit Girdles Are The Way To Go Post Pregnancy
Bellefit Mom, Robyn
Robyn began wearing her Bellefit Dual Closure Girdle the day she delivered her son. She wore it 24-hours a day for the first six weeks.
Not only did the corset keep her posture straight and allow her to carry her son with ease, but it allowed her to sit more comfortably, easing discomfort in her back – and after nine hours of back labor, that was an important feature.
She was amazed by the positive comments she received about her appearance post-pregnancy. “I received many compliments on how quickly I was getting my pre-pregnancy body back,” Robyn said.
Watch Robyn’s Video Testimonial
Robyn has since given birth to her second son, another natural labor that left her with painful cramping as her uterus returned to its natural size. She found that using the Bellefit Postpartum Girdle was the only thing to offer relief: “I was actually able to feed him comfortably, without pain while wearing it, so I wore it 24/7 for the first three months after giving birth.”
The extra support even allowed her to help out when the family moved just 20 days after giving birth!
The active mom said it was the compression and support that also allowed her to quickly get back into running and playing soccer within a month-and-a-half of giving birth. The benefits are endless when it comes to the support a postpartum girdle can offer but choose the product carefully to ensure not only short-term results but long-term confidence.

The Best Postpartum Girdle
I see hundreds of moms during a week and the ones that need the Bellefit and purchase the Bellefit have greatly greatly benefited from the physical alleviation of discomfort.
With the postpartum moms usually the Bellefit Postpartum Girdles are worn right after birth and this has been an extreme benefit to helping moms bring the abdominal muscles back together and make them feel so much better about their bodies coming back to pre-pregnancy size after birth. Even with c-section it’s been wonderful to help them keep those abdominal muscles and the uterus intact.

Abdominal Binder After Pregnancy with Triplets
You have had a confirmed positive pregnancy test from your doctor and it’s time for your first sonogram. You were lucky enough to conceive without fertility treatment, and you’re excited to meet your first child through imaging. It’s obvious this pregnancy is progressing very quickly, but with no basis of comparison, you tell yourself everyone’s body is different.
But this — this was something you never expected. There on the screen, you meet not one, not two, but THREE of the tiny beings growing rapidly in your belly.
Kimberly Pregnant with Triplets
You go through the emotions in a matter of seconds – shock, happiness, excitement and apprehension, all rolled into one half-hour visit with your obstetrician. Three babies!? Will you have the room, the money, the sanity to handle three infants? All crying, feeding, sleeping – NEEDING — at the same time? How will this change your delivery plan? How will this change your body!??
Extremely rare, only a handful of the 4 million babies born in the United States each year are Spontaneous Triplets, or triplets conceived without the use of fertility drugs. When Kimberly K. learned she was pregnant with Spontaneous Triplets in December 2015, she thought her body would be ruined.
Weakening & Separation of the Abdominal Muscles?
Diastasis Recti after childbirth
Kimberly was skeptical of spending money on an abdominal binder for after pregnancy without knowing for certain that the benefits would be worth the cost. It must be false advertising, she thought.Diastasis recti is common not only after a solo pregnancy, but with three scrambling for room, the condition is significantly more difficult to manage after delivery. The separation of the abdominal muscle, which can be identified while pregnant or after birth, causes back pain and a weak abdominal wall.
“But, honestly, I’m so glad I invested in this girdle,” Kimberly said. “I wear it every day, all day, from the time I wake up until nighttime. I know you can sleep in it, but it’s easier for me to wear it 12 hours a day.”

Kimberly began wearing her abdominal binder after pregnancy as soon as she delivered and has been wearing it ever since.“Wearing it all day will increase the benefits and help heal better, as there is compression on the stomach all day, allowing everything to get back into place,” Kimberly said.
Walking is the only exercise she has done and the photos of her progress speak for themselves.
Closing the Diastasis Gap During 2nd Pregnancy
“I was looking for a product that would help close the gap,” Faith said. “I came across Bellefit! I read the reviews, I loved it, I ordered it and it came right away.”

Faith found out she was pregnant with her second child 22 months after she delivered her first. She tried abdominal exercises for breathing and head tilts, but nothing seemed to close the gap caused by diastasis recti. She was worried her condition would only get worse.
Faith began wearing her abdominal binder right out of the hospital and discovered its amazing benefits immediately. In fact, she was back in her pre-pregnancy clothes just two weeks after delivering her son.
“It is the most comfortable garment that I’ve worn,” she said. “I can wear it all the time – I do – I wear it 24 hours a day, unless I’m washing it. It is a product that I firmly believe in. My family and friends can’t get over how amazing my stomach is, considering how bad it was after my first pregnancy.”
Kimberly and Faith both quickly discovered the benefits of using an abdominal binder after pregnancy. The compression from the girdle tightened their cores, helping everything get back into place. Each also experienced tremendous back support, which helped with comfortably getting out of bed, holding their babies and even breastfeeding.
