Many times we find the newly released mothers wearing a girdle, with the aim of hiding the tummy. However, more and more celebrities are showing their natural bodies after giving birth (as in the case of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton), with the bulging, logical abdomen of a woman who has just given birth.

When and how to use the girdle in the postpartum period
The use of the girdle can reduce some of the typical postpartum pain, especially if the woman has given birth by caesarean section; since the belt in the immediate postoperative period greatly relieves the woman, since it presses the wound and the mother can move more easily, and decrease the discomfort that can arise each time she gets up, goes to bed, laughs or coughs.

However, on an aesthetic level under the clothes, they can disguise the 'roundness' typical of motherhood. It is much more advisable to do controlled exercise, as long as the midwife or gynecologist gives the approval.
