After giving birth, the body needs time to recover from the physical changes that occur during pregnancy and delivery. One traditional practice that may provide additional support during this period is belly binding.
Belly binding involves wrapping the abdomen with fabric or using a postpartum binder to provide gentle support. It may help support the abdominal area, pelvis, and posture as the body gradually recovers after childbirth.
For mothers recovering from a C-section, belly binding may provide additional abdominal support and has been associated with reduced pain and discomfort in some research. However, mothers who have had a C-section should wait until the incision has healed and is dry, and should consult a doctor or midwife before using a binder.
Belly binding may also provide support for women experiencing diastasis recti, where the abdominal muscles remain separated after pregnancy. However, more significant cases may require guidance from a postpartum physical therapist.
Belly binding should provide support, not excessive compression. It should not make breathing, sitting, or moving difficult. Traditional bengkung wraps and modern postpartum binders are both available, allowing mothers to choose an option that feels comfortable.
