How did you get your belly back flat? Did you wear a girdle? Where did you get it?
-
I didn't wear one, but everything looks about the same as before. I can tell that my abs aren't quite as tight though.
-
How long did it take to get back?
-
@MrsBeachyBaby: Probably 10-12 weeks or so? I was able to fit into pre-preg clothes at 8 weeks, but I remember things still looking different then.
-
I did but I had a c-section so it was pretty necessary. I think I wore it for about 2 months or so.
-
@Baby Boy Mom: I wore the same one for a few weeks!
-
No girdle! Everything went back to normal size eventually
-
@autumnlove: Was it sized? Mine had three settings but after a few weeks I had to get one in a smaller size. When I got to the smallest setting on the second one I decided it was enough.
-
Nope. I was back in pre pregnancy jeans by like day 8 or 9 post partum. My belly is not as "tight" as it used to be but I have a feeling as soon as I have been cleared to start working out again it shouldn't be too hard to tone back up.
-
@Baby Boy Mom: I think it was but it had a Velcro adjustment panel. I stopped wearing it when it was too loose!
-
@autumnlove: ahh, yeah velcro probably would have been better. I probably won't get another one though since the other ones are still sitting around in the closet...

I wore a belly bandit. I still don't have a flat tummy but it was my second and I was already a mess from my first so I'm not sure how much difference it made.
I did really like it for the first couple weeks, it helped my feel more comfortable (less weird and empty?) especially sleeping on my side. Also diminished the massive muffin top and kept me from looking at my sad post partum belly.

I asked for a belly binder while I was at the hospital postpartum. It's nothig fancy like the belly bandit - in fact it is pretty uncomfortable and is just a wide elastic band with Velcro. I do have to give it credit for having a flat tummy again! My mom made me where it the first three months and now I don't really have any loose belly jiggling. I hated wearing it but I will definitely force myself to wear it again after the next one.
By the way, I was told by a friend to ask for one at the hospital. It's free if you ask!
