Congratulations on the birth of your child! I know from firsthand experience that 9 weeks postpartum, especially following a cesarean delivery, things are far from normal. And guess what, you and I are not alone either. Many women lack the sense of “held-togetherness” that they may have taken for granted before pregnancy and delivery. According […]
Congratulations on the birth of your child! Women who give birth vaginally face an entirely different set of challenges than women who give birth by Cesarean Section. During pregnancy, labor, and birth, the symphysis pubis, where the right and left sides of the hips meet near the vaginal area, separates to varying degrees with the […]
I had a new mother in for a fitting today that was 4 weeks postpartum and had been using a belly wrap since delivery. Initially the belly wrap offered some support but, after losing the majority of her pregnancy weight gain, she found it rather bulky under her pre-pregnancy clothing. I could see the belly […]

I had a new mom come in for a garment fitting today. She delivered a healthy 7 pound baby girl on September 5th 2009. Mom was in labor for 3 days before her doctor decided to do a C-section. As you can imagine, this was quite a traumatic labor and delivery. She was almost 4 […]

Marsha made it quite clear to me that all she cared about was making her belly […]
I spoke to a new Dad today that said he was in really BIG trouble. His wife was still in the hospital recovering from a Cesarean delivery. His wife had complained to him that her stomach was quite sore and that she needed a postpartum belly wrap or support garment to hold her together. So […]
During pregnancy and delivery women face extraordinary physiological changes. If that’s not challenging enough, after delivering a child, we are instantly expected to look after a newborn baby around the clock – and more often than not, the rest of the family, too.
Today, Cesarean scars are far smaller and heal faster than what our mothers may have experienced. A typical Cesarean incision is approximately 4-6” long and is placed horizontally across the bikini line. Although, the resulting scar is usually very small and easily concealed, many women are concerned with how visible their Cesarean scar may be. […]
I’ve had two c-sections and don’t know how I would have survived the first couple weeks without my binder! I agree the binders can be bulky and that’s the last thing you want to show off.
