Medical Conditions & Their Medical Codes
Doctors recommend Bellefit compression girdles and corsets for the treatment of these medical conditions which are most commonly experienced by women after childbirth.
O71.89 DIASTASIS RECTI
The rectus abdominis muscles are found on the abdomen and are commonly referred to as the abs or “6 pack” muscles. There is a small band of tissue, called the linea alba, that connects the right and left side of the rectus abdominis muscles and is located at the midline of the body. Diastasis recti is a condition in which there is a weakening of the linea alba allowing for an abnormally large separation between the rectus abdominis muscles. This widening of the linea alba allows for bulging of the abdomen and an appearance of still appearing pregnant after delivery.
K40-46 HERNIA
A hernia is the result of an organ or tissue protruding through an opening in the muscles. While a hernia can occur in many areas of the body, they most commonly develop in the abdominal and groin areas during pregnancy. Developing a hernia during the course of your pregnancy is not always an immediate concern; in fact, most physicians recommend waiting until after you give birth to have the hernia treated. However, hernias rarely, if ever, go away on their own and must eventually be treated. Left untreated, a hernia will progressively worsen in severity and eventually become more serious can eventually lead to life-altering complications.
M54.5 ACUTE OR CHRONIC PAIN IN THE LUMBAR OR SACRAL REGION
Back pain, especially in the lumbar or sacral regions, is a common condition experienced during pregnancy. In fact, nearly 1 out of every 2 pregnant women can expect to experience acute or chronic pain the in lumbar or sacral regions of the spine. The pain in these areas is typically temporary and a direct result of pregnancy-induced weight gain and hormonal changes, and often contributes to pain, sleep-disturbances, and other discomforts experienced during the course of the pregnancy.
M25.551/M25.552 HIP PAIN R/L
Hip pain can be debilitating — especially when you are tasked with carrying a baby. The extra pressure and strain on your joints causes hip pain that pregnant women often misdiagnose and neglect to seek treatment for. Hip pain comes from various sources during pregnancy. Most women start to develop the joint pain during the second trimester, right as you start to develop a “baby bump.” The change in your walking style, the loosening of your ligaments holding together the sacroiliac joints, and sleeping on your side later in pregnancy all can add to hip pain. Another cause is pressure on your sciatic nerve, formally called Sciatica. Sciatica can cause pain, numbness, and/or tingling in the buttocks, hips, and thigh. This is where appointments with your physician are especially useful, as Sciatica can lead to serious complications.
O26.7 SUBLUXATION OF SYMPHYSIS (PUBIS) IN PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH and PUERPERIUM
Subluxation of symphysis is also known as symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). This is a condition that causes excessive movement of the pubic symphysis. The symphysis is a midline, nonsynovial joint that connects the right and left superior pubic ram. Because of the misalignment of the pelvis, pain is associated with this diagnosis. Basically, this joint holds the right and left sides of the pelvic muscles together. When this joint becomes soft, pelvic muscles and bones move more freely. With the weight of a growing baby, this can become a painful condition.
O70.0-O70.4 PERINEAL LACERATION DURING DELIVERY
The perineum is the tissue that is located between the vagina and the anus. There are layers to the tissue being skin, subcutaneous tissue, and the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles are important muscles in regards to the passing of stool and urine. During vaginal delivery, the perineal tissue is stretched with the passing of the baby, mainly the head and shoulders, which can lead to tears of the perineal tissue. There are different grades ranging from 1 to 4 of perineal lacerations. Grades 1 and 2 are most common. Grades 3 and 4 are more severe with tearing of muscles and the anal sphincter. An episiotomy is an intentional perineal laceration made by the physician at the time of delivery. This was performed routinely some number of years ago, but is no long a routine procedure. Episiotomies are usually performed if there is concern for grade 3 or 4 perineal laceration or if there is concern to deliver the baby quickly.
N81.2 INCOMPLETE UTEROVAGINAL PROLAPSE
The uterus is held in place by pelvic ligaments and muscles. The muscles can become weak or stretched out leading to a lack of support for the uterus. When the muscles become weak, the uterus may sag or descend from its normal position into the vagina. A uterovaginal prolapse is classified by its stage. A complete prolapse means part of the uterus has slipped so far that it protrudes from the vaginal opening. The difference with an incomplete uterovaginal prolapse is that the uterus becomes partially displaced into the vagina, but it does not protrude out.
R10.2 PELVIC AND PERINEAL PAIN
The pelvic region of the body is the lowest part of the abdomen between the hip bones. The perineum in women refers to the area between the vagina and anus. Pelvic and perineal pain involves discomfort in either or both areas. Because the pelvic area and perineum are located near various organs, nerves, and muscles, pelvic and perineal pain is very common in women. The pain may come and go or be constant. The quality of the pain may vary based on the cause. The pain may be sharp, burn, or ache. Depending on the cause of the pain, symptoms may worsen when you move or use the bathroom.
R10.30 LOWER ABDOMINAL, INGUINAL, GROIN PAIN
Lower abdominal, inguinal, and groin pain is experienced due to the stretching of ligaments around the womb. As the womb becomes larger to accommodate the baby, the ligaments that hold the uterus in place must stretch. A certain ligament known as the round ligament is the culprit of your pain. This ligament attaches the front portion of the uterus to the groin. Normally, this ligament contracts and relaxes slowly when you sneeze, cough, or make rapid movements. During pregnancy everything speeds up and more weight is applied to the ligament. Due to the enlarging of the uterus during pregnancy, the round ligament is stretched and contracts more quickly, therefore causing pain.
How to Wear
How to Wear your Bellefit Dual-Closure®
- Unhook the front panel, close the inner tabs, zip the side zipper and hook the groin closure.
- Sit down on the edge of your bed and step into the girdle one foot at a time.
- Stand to pull it up as far as you can.
- Lie on your back to fasten the vertical hook closure. Start with the bottom hook and work your way up.
- Stand up, center the front panel and adjust until comfortable.
Directions
Begin wearing after birth on the day that you are discharged from the hospital. It’s optimal to begin wearing Bellefit right after birth; however, you will still see results if you begin to wear your girdle at any time during the first 6 months after the delivery.
Here’s why: Still present after childbirth for up to 6 months are hormones secreted during pregnancy. These hormones, Estrogen, progesterone and relaxin loosen the abdominal muscles, the pelvic structure and supporting ligaments and joints. Bellefit works together with your body’s natural process of recovery.
Should I Wear a Girdle After Giving Birth?
As a new mother, you likely have questions about what you can and cannot do after giving birth. There will be a period of rest and recovery following the birthing process that you’ll be recommended to take. So, how do you know if a postpartum girdle is right for you or not?
Among the many benefits that comes with wearing a postpartum girdle is how well it keeps things in place. With pregnancy weight being an issue for many women who have just given birth, a postpartum girdle helps compress the abdomen, giving you a seamless look that can be worn under dresses, skinny jeans, and sweatpants.It also provides extra support for the lower back which has a tendency to hurt whenever weight is gained.
Having a garment that keeps everything in place makes it easier for you to exhibit good posture and prevent muscle strain. That means that you won’t risk injuring yourself while you work to lose the extra weight you gained while pregnant.Bellefit products are designed to maximize comfort while providing support in all the right places. We offer a variety of styles of girdles to choose from, too, making it easy to find one that you love wearing.
Do Hips Go Back to Normal After Giving Birth?
The fact that your hips spread while pregnant to accommodate childbirth is quite the phenomenon. Your pelvis also makes room for the birthing process which may or may not include a vaginal delivery.
With the right corset or girdle, you’ll be able to narrow the distance between your hips and go back to looking like yourself once again.
As you work to lose the pregnancy weight, you’ll feel your hips and lower back being supported by the undergarment. Binding your hips in the eight weeks after giving birth helps pelvic joints go back to where they were prior to your pregnancy. That way, you won’t feel them being as spread-out as before.
How Long Does It Take for Hormones to Settle After Birth??
A surge of hormones is something to be expected when pregnant. Don’t be concerned if your mood swings all over the place. It’s incredibly normal to feel the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
You will get back to your normal self soon. Even if you don’t, you’ll start to feel better about your situation. If your feelings of sadness or depression don’t go away, it’s time to speak to a licensed therapist who can help you on a clinical level. Your issue is far more complicated than just needing some extra rest or help around the house.
Your hormones will eventually settle and you’ll feel more at ease in your body. Don’t be surprised if there is a transitional period from giving birth to getting back to your pre-pregnancy self. You’ve got time, and with Bellefit, you’ve got tools! Our postpartum girdles have helped women from around the world feel more confident about their bodies after delivering.
What Should I Avoid After Giving Birth?
As a pregnant woman, you’re required to follow lots of advice. The following list provides valuable insight and advice on what not to do after giving birth to a child. By following it and the suggestions given to you by your physician, you decrease the chances delaying your recovery.
- Strenuous Exercising
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Junk Food
- Certain Types of Fish
It’s important that you steer clear of these things until your body has had time to fully heal and that you’re no longer breastfeeding your child. That way, you’re not taking any chances on you or your baby’s health. Instead, you’re postponing some of the things you may really be looking forward to doing, eating or drinking.
Can I wear a Dual-Closure girdle after a C-section?
Yes! The front hook and eye closures of the Dual-Closure are designed with the incision in mind.
What are the main benefits of the Dual-Closure?
The main difference between the two styles is that the Dual-Closure (also known as a Double Corset) has the side zipper closure as well. Underneath the zipper are two sets of adjustable hook and eye closures (one near the top and one near the bottom).
Because it has both closure options, the Dual-Closure is able to be adjusted the most out of all of the other styles. Many moms like having the option of both closures in one girdle to also be able to choose which method is more convenient for them throughout their recovery. For example, in the beginning when your swelling is at its peak, you may find that it is easier for you to use just the front closure. Once you get a little farther along you may find that just using the zipper closure is more convenient for you.
I had a natural delivery. Can I still use the Dual-Closure style?
Yes! The Dual-Closure is an excellent option for either delivery method.
I am unsure of my delivery method. Is the Dual-Closure still recommended?
Yes! The Dual-Closure is an excellent option for either delivery method.
Can you see it underneath my clothes?
The Dual-Closure is not bulky and is flush with your skin; however because of the front closure location, it may be slightly visible underneath certain fabrics or if you are wearing a fitted top. Keep in mind though that your comfort and healing process is the most important factor!
I am not pregnant but have had abdominal surgery. Can I still use the Dual-Closure style?
Yes! Keep in mind though that we generally recommend a Girdle with Hooks (Corset) after an abdominal surgery that may or may not be related to pregnancy. As always, consult with your physician to make sure that a compression garment is the best choice for your recovery.
Is the Dual-Closure adjustable?
As your body transforms after your delivery, you can adjust the settings when slightly more or less compression is needed.
The Dual Closure has two rows of hook and eye closures in the front that are separated by an inch apart and a lateral zipper on the side with two sets of hook and eye closures underneath.
Is the Dual-Closure ideal for my body shape?
Since the Dual-Closure is adjustable, it is suitable for all body type shapes.
When can I start wearing my Dual-Closure?
Begin wearing your Dual-Closure the day that you are discharged from the hospital or as soon as you are ready to wear it after the delivery. It’s optimal to begin wearing Bellefit right after birth; however, you will still see results if you begin to wear your girdle at any time during the first 6 months after the delivery. As always, consult with your physician to make sure the Dual-Closure is right for you since every recovery process is so unique.

I wasn’t sure at first how long I could keep up with wearing this but I’m proud to say j managed to wear it every single day for four months straight. I’d wear it all day then detach the crotch area for more comfort at night or just take off completely at night. I loved the way my clothes fit over it—it made my figure look so good

I am a teacher and I research everything to make a sound and informed decision about anything I purchase. From the research I did prior to purchasing this item, I knew that Bellefit was the best item on the market for postpartum recovery because it was so different from anything else I could find. After using Bellefit products, I know for sure that they are the best products out there. I used Bellefit dual-closures girdles after having each of my two children. Putting the girdle on and feeling its instant effects gave me the confidence to get out and seize the day, even when I felt unsure and scared of everything else at that moment. But the long-term effects are actually incredible. I gave birth to my son three months ago and I am still wearing the girdle. Every time I am complimented by people who say they can’t believe how good I look after having two kids, I tell them about Bellefit and proudly show it off to explain how it works. I have recommended Bellefit to every single woman I know who is about to give birth. The dual-closure girdle is my favorite, but I know there are so many great options that Bellefit offers. Their girdles fit snugly, hold up over the years (I gave birth to my daughter in 2017 and used the girdles again for the birth of my son in 2019), and really do deliver lasting results. After having my first child, my husband innocently asked if now I would have an “outtie” bellybutton instead of an “innie”. I wondered the same thing, only I didn’t think it was as cool as he did for it to change like that. After just one day of wearing the girdle, my belly button was back to normal and my stomach was starting to flatten out. In just one day! I decided right then and there that I would follow the girdle’s directions exactly and I stuck with it. I went quickly through the sizes. I started at a medium and worked back down to an extra-small. As the weeks turned into months, I would completely forget I was even wearing it. By the time I was done wearing it after my first child, I felt like me again. Even though I am not finished yet after having my second child, I feel like me again. The better I feel physically, the more I can take on mentally =)!

I had a complicated c section that left me bedridden for 27 hours instead of being able to walk ASAP. As a result my recovery was slower and more painful than expected. I started wearing my girdle at 4 days pp and it immediately allowed me to stand up straight and supported my back. I’ve barely had to take any pain medication as long as I am wearing my Bellefit. I already have to buy a size down which is a bummer but totally worth it (bought a XXL 5’8″ 214 at birth 180 pre pregnancy down to 193 at 9 days pp).

I love wearing the girdle as it makes me feel like everything is where it’s supposed to be, especially after a cesarean. My only issue is that bc I am a bigger woman, it rolls at the top. I would like it much better if it had straps to help keep it up like the waist trainer vest has. Otherwise its a wonderful product.

I left the hospital with one of the bulky wrap-around velcro girdles, which was great for the first few days when my skin and incision were still really sensitive, but I couldn’t leave the house it in since it is so visible under (or over cause that is the only way to make it work in some cases) clothing! The Bellefit is discreet and the support feels great! Highly recommend!

I got my Bellefit Dual Closure Girdle to use after my second pregnancy. I ordered the size small and started wearing it 2 days postpartum when I got discharged. My pre-pregnancy weight was 130lbs, 165-170lbs at 40 weeks, and then 145 at 4 days postpartum. When I used the size chart, I was between a small and medium and ordered both. But the size small ended up fitting perfectly on the looser hooks and now at 14 days postpartum am wearing it on the tightest hooks. The girdles also bring a small extender which is awesome.

Amazing results… at day 6 postpartum, I was already close to pre pregnancy weight and measurements. I went from a large to medium in 3-4days after wearing bellefit 24/7. Last day weigh in pregnant was 190. After delivery and wearing bellefit right after delivery(was ok with OB) for 24hrs weigh in was 175 and stomach inflammation went down significantly. Two weeks postpartum and my weight is 168 and I’m almost back to my pre pregnancy measurements waist wise. I went from a large to medium within one week. This product truely works and gives amazing fast results and helps so much with recovering fast and feeling great about yourself. Highly recommend it.

This is my third pp girdle. I am 12 weeks pp and already a size small. I went from size XL to a Medium and now to a size small. These are amazing!!!! The support they give to my back and csection is great. The only thing I dont like about it is that it keeps rolling down from the side. I don’t know if it is because the other two were corsets and this one the dual corset. Other than that its great and I recommend to any mother after birth especially after a csection.

I finally ordered my Bellefit 12 weeks post baby. I tried a different brand and sent it back due to fitting issues (it did not hook in the crotch and would slowly slip upward). I noticed right away that the Bellefit was made with stronger materials allowing it to be more supportive, and once putting it on I was able to hide the girdle even with a tight shirt. I was hesitant having something between my crotch due to using the bathroom and comfort. It was honestly easy and quick to unhook, especially with my new mommy bladder. I’ve been wearing Bellefit for four weeks. I have slowly noticed progress. I would highly recommend using Bellefit’s app to track your progress which will keep you monitored and you’ll want to wear your girdle even when you think it’s not working. I do wear a thin undershirt under the girdle for comfort. I was getting sore from the boning in the girdle.

Get kind of loose quickly as you drop the water weight and your uterus shrinks. But initially getting it on, my boyfriend had to get on the ground and crawl around to help me get it on. I’m 4’11 pre pregnancy I weighed 165 and i weighed 187 the day i gave birth. I had to order the xxl and xl. Dont have the xl on yet but everything is on the last snaps except for the crotch area. I have the extender there. I’m 11dpp. Will be trying the xl here soon. Maybe a week or two.

When I found out I was pregnant for the 3rd time I knew I wanted to have something to help with my recovery. I had a c-section with my 2nd and I was shocked at how slow my body recovered. I knew there was a chance of another c-section because of Cholestasis. Once I found out I would have the section again I went on and bought myself a bellefit.
I had to wait 8 days after my section until I was ready to try the bellefit on. Just like all the reviews I’ve read, it was a game changer!!! When I would walk my belly would jiggle and hurt my incision, with the support from the bellefit that was gone! My belly is going down after much faster after this section with the help of bellefit.
I would recommend the bellefit to anyone who is interested. It is worth the investment

I was very happy with my first purchase. It helped me feel supported after my c-section. It also helped me to fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans. I didn’t give it five stars because I was not happy with my second order. I ordered a smaller size due to losing weight. I did the online questionnaire to help find the right size. After swearing it many times, the side of the girdle started to poke me. I started to get a bruise in that area. When I compared both of my girdles it looks like the boning was shorter on the smaller size. I would’ve returned it, but it was past the 30 days.
