The back labor (24+ hours) on top of no belly weight on top of deconditioned core = unbelievably sore back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994749 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 22:04:00 +0000 lolabee 994749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I forgot about the empty feeling! It made me sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994715 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 21:53:10 +0000 Running Elley 994715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it just felt soft. And...empty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994713 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 21:52:05 +0000 Weagle 994713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Same here. I feel like it took a week or two for me to be able to stand up straight. I guess I had just been using my belly as a balance weight to keep from toppling over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994581 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:55:06 +0000 rachiecakes 994581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some serious abdominal separation and it was sore for a while PP. It felt really weak and hurt to sit up from laying. It did eventually heal 100% by 9 months PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994569 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:51:57 +0000 lolabee 994569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was a bit tender too. I wore the bamboo belly bandit and found it helped a lot for that and gave some extra back support. My back KILLED after the epidural and gazillion hours of back labour. Feel better!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994529 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:42:16 +0000 MrsLilybugg 994529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave birth 18 days ago and my.tummy feels tender too. I was excited that I could finally receive a "real" backrub ans not.have to lay on my side, but it hurt to lay on belly :-( my sister swears by her girdle. I'm too cheap for extra purchases so if feeling especially tender I use my maternity belt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994420 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:09:21 +0000 Bookish 994420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an emergency c section and found that pressure on my stomach helped tremendously. There was one spot that pulled, and it was horribly painful until I started wearing a shaper. It was almost instant relief once I kept pressure on it.</p> <p>So, mine wasn't really because of lack of support, but still..I looved that shaper for how it helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994396 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:59:12 +0000 bisous 994396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was really tender--it was that way during the last few weeks of pregnant though, too. I didn't do anything except for put lotion on it everyday. The skin tightened relatively quickly though.,,still loose, but definitely not the way it was in the first couple weeks PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994388 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:56:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 994388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't feel sore. The only thing I really noticed was that my back hurt a lot more because I didn't have the same core strength I had pre-pg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994385 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:55:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 994385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If anything, it was just jiggly. I remember thinking about how awesome it felt the moment she came out because all that pressure was finally off my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-belly-question#post-994378 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:52:38 +0000 citymouse 994378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your postpartum belly feel sore because of being loose and wobbly? Im imagining it feeling like running down the stairs without wearing a bra and your boobs are sore because there is no support. Is that what it feels like? Did wearing a Belly Bandit, or Bellefit, help? </p>
