Getting rid of post pregnancy fat isn’t easy and it wouldn’t happen naturally. That’s the truth. If you don’t take care of your postpartum fat, it wouldn’t take care of itself. It wouldn’t get rid of itself. For a very small number of women it happens relatively easily, but for most women, the larger majority; it takes some effort especially those who didn’t have flat tummies before their pregnancy. It’s not going to go on its own. The very good hospitals know it, that’s why they give you an abdominal binder after birth. Our grandparents and old school midwives also know it that’s why they give us wrappers to tie and some even ask that we take a little hot drink, or eat some hot soup to warm us up on the inside so that congealed blood and fluids can melt and flow out.

I hope we are flowing well so far… So how do we get our pre-baby body back? First and foremost is that the best time to get rid of postpartum fat is immediately you are done with having your baby i.e. immediately after you deliver each child. Don’t wait for too long or it starts to become permanent. A few weeks to some months is also ok. But the earlier, the better. Sadly though, you may not be fit to do strong exercises and to be completely honest, it is not safe to start exercising so early. Forget push-ups and abdominal cramps, they don’t help you. Push-ups only help build abdominal muscles, they don’t burn fat. Focus your exercising on Yoga and get a tape to measure your belly often to know how much progress you are making. This is what many people do not know.

You should also try to eat right and healthy. Fruits and vegetables are essential for you right now. You also have to take enough water not just for you but to help with lactating so that you can produce enough milk to feed your baby. But in addition to these, let’s consider some of our unique products that can help.

We will now quickly mention some of the products which we know for certain would help you achieve this. They are not fashion waist trainers. They are medically approved products for the body of a new mom and guaranteed to help you get your figure back within 6 weeks of use.

Mothersbond Post Pregnancy Shaper Belt/High Waist Panties Secondly we have our highly successful Mothersbond Post Pregnancy shaper belt. There is no need spending much time talking about this product. It’s so good that everyone who has bought it has always come back to say thank you. It’s made from medical grade bamboo, very comfortable to put on and highly flexible. We also have some lovely postpartum high waist panties that do the work when you aren’t wearing the shaper belt. Let’s say you don’t want to wear your shaper belt to go out (which you should by the way) but let’s say that you don’t, then go ahead and slide in these panties. They also get the work done and improve your shape. They are smooth and well made, even your husband would love to see you wearing them. They make sure women get to feel sexy and look attractive again. They have helped a lot of women re-ignite the spark in their marriages and relationships almost immediately after having a baby. On the product page for the high waist post pregnancy panties, we offered our advice that in as much as we love babies; most of those who bought these panties fell pregnant almost immediately after. There is just something about it that makes the men find it attractive and from there, the rest is history. As a result of this feedback, we had to put a warning note and also do a post on a woman who is breastfeeding and discovering she is pregnant again. Really, it has been happening especially to those who wore theirs at night time. They used the shaper belt in the day then used these panties at night. So when buying the shaper belt, consider buying this panties together, make an effort to get it. It would definitely make you feel happier, make your home happier and your body would return to normal quicker.

Mothersbond Postpartum Compression Wear Third is the Mothersbond Post-Partum Compression wear. This product has been tested by several women and they love it because it gathers every part of the post pregnancy belly and tuck it all in, leaving nothing spilling on any side. Women feel free wearing this or the shaper belt under their dresses and go to out to work. It compresses from all sides and has three levels of hooks and eye. So you start with the third and gradually move to the first as your belly compresses inwards. It’s typically called a girdle and offers all round compression. It has some antibacterial fabric underneath in case you still have to wear them with sanitary pads. It works by flattening your belly on every side and also lifting your butt up and it disappears under the dress. If you buy this girdle, please try to sleep in it at night.

In Africa, when a woman puts to bed, that’s the time she is asked to start eating fatty intestine meat in pepper soup. This is why most of our moms have big tummies. Who can blame them. In the past, a beautiful woman was one with a full body. Some even go to a fattening room after marriage. But all that has changed. The definition of beauty now is very far from big and robust. Thus, having a baby is not the license to let down our guard. Eat them if you must but eat very little, if you can afford options, then go for the fish pepper soup and not the fatty intestine ones. Also eat lesser food generally at night and more at day. Use your abdominal binder or shaper belt or compression wear at night. Sleep in them. We hope husbands don’t feel obstructed but then this is why we say again that the best time to use them is immediately after having your baby because at that time, your husband wouldn’t bother so much if you are all covered in any of these materials. More food break down takes place at night when we are quiet and motionless at night than in the day when we are active. It is at night our belly takes shape. So be bound at night.

Also, while you are so happy that you have had your baby, I must add that your body is still delicate and your muscles are still soft and tender. This means you shouldn’t use hard materials on yourself.  Waist trainers and corsets which contain metals on the sides are not ideal yet, at least not now. They pull your belly in and when you take them off, you see your entire belly sagging out still. Get back to shape with what is specific for post pregnancy, not what is meant to train your waist.
