I got one, and even though I like having it on for security reasons (makes me look less fat, helps my self image) it doesn't seem to be doing any permanent fixing. I already lost all my baby weight (still have 30 lbs to lose that I gained before getting pg though) and I have diastasis recti really badly (I look about 6 months pregnant all the time). I don't think the girdle will fix that.

I used the Shrinxxx Hips brand and it worked wonders. After DS1 my hips had expanded so even when I was at normal weight, I couldn't fit in anything. After DS2 I used this and my hips not only went down to pre-DS1 size, but I lost an additional 2 inches. If anyone wants to look into the science aspect there is a chemical called relaxin which actually loosens our hips to prepare for birth and you have a couple weeks after to take advantage by using a girdle or such before you "reset".

Ive only just come across this thread Lassie i had one similar to the pull up version that you linked, i found that the bit at the top would flip and roll down sometimes when i would sit down or bend over so i was constantly pulling it back up into position and trying not to move in a way that would bring it down again. It wasnt a pregnancy one though it was just a belly sucker inner, and it did get too big for me after about a week so i didnt get a smaller one.
The Belly Bandit looks like a great one, seeing as it has velcro it would get smaller with you and it looks thick so no rolling down, i am definatly going to try to find one of these. Thanks for the links ladies

WOW! This sounds like a great idea! How does it work with C-sections though? When I do get pg again, I'll no doubt have to have another section (I don't want one!!!) but would definitely invest in something like this if it'd help the healing process. I have a lot of problems with SPD during pregnancy and wore a belt with each child. It made a huge difference and I can see how wearing an equivalent after having a baby would really help support my core muscles and ease any back pain. Has any one else worn one after a section?

I haven't had a section but you can check this out C-Panty | C-Panty They seem to get good reviews on sites and I always had it in the back of my mind if something went wrong and I needed a c-section.
2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
