It takes some guts to have a baby.
9 months of being pregnant: morning sickness. swollen everything. narcolepsy yet sleep deprived. heart burn. joint pain. compressed lungs. feeling large. very large.
Childbirth: enough said
Postpartum Life: why doesn't my belly button look the same??? (too much info?)
No doubt there is so much that we go through when welcoming a little squishy baby into the world. During pregnancy our focus is set on our due date, but what about after the big day of meeting that little babe (or babes)? I totally get why the postpartum period is called the 4th trimester. It's the last chapter that nobody really studies for.
When you think about it, there's so much change that our bodies go through after the baby comes that you kinda just sit there and wonder where to go now. My plan of action after both of my boys involved UpSpring Baby.
I did some reading prior to Conner's due date about belly wrapping and came across this gem of a product called Shrinx Belly made by UpSpring Baby. Their adjustable main band along with adjustable compression bands just made sense! And then I stumbled on their Shrinx Hips product and I was sold! I bought them both pretty much as fast I found them.
Some of you know that Conner's delivery ended with an emergency c-section which made me a little hesitant to use the bands with my incision, but I did anyway. Best decision ever. The Shrinx Belly made me feel like everything in my torso was being held together. (I know you C-section mamas know what I'm talking about!)
Within days my stomach looked amazingly flatter and the results got better over the weeks. Same thing with the Shrinx Hips. The hormone that your body uses to spread your hips hangs out in your body up to 8 weeks post-delivery. That is your window to use this product and gently push those hips back into place. And it worked like a charm.
With these results, I obviously used them again after Linden's birth with the same happy results. The best part is that since Conner's birth, UpSpring Baby's product lineup has expanded! They've launched a great line of prenatals, milk supply products, and even baby vitamins. And let's not forget, for all those mamas having a night out sans babies... Milkscreen is there for you.
I recently had a chance to try out one of their newest products - their Shrinx Belly Bamboo Charcoal. It's the same design as their original Shrinx Belly but made with bamboo charcoal which is wonderful at wicking that sweat. And after you have a baby, that sweat is real. Plus an array of other benefits listed on their website involving circulation, metabolism and reduced swelling.
Seriously, it's a no-brainer. This new belly wrap is a must have and makes a great gift for those mama's that are getting ready to have a baby or have just welcomed their little babe and entering their own 4th trimester.
Check them out! UpSpring Baby. Now Go! :)
