This is what 3 days postpartum looked like for me. I am already feeling so much like my pre-pregnancy self, which I honestly owe all to the Mama Strut postpartum support system. On the evening of the day I had Connor I was having a really hard time getting from my bed to the bathroom, because everything was tender + my body just felt incredibly unsupported, especially at my pelvic floor. But the next morning, when I got up + put on my Mama Strut support band, my entire postpartum experience changed. I was able to walk around my hospital room feeling so supported + not like I literally just had a baby whatsoever. The nurses + doctor were so impressed by my mobility + honestly so was I. This brace has been so helpful since coming home + recovering, because it provides back/pelvic/perennial support as well as ice + heat therapy that decreases the symptoms that come along with recovering from active labor + a natural delivery {it also works for c-section mamas!}. Between recovering from delivery, tending to a newborn + keeping up after two very energetic twin boys, I truly don’t know what I would have done without having this postpartum system on hand this time around + recommend it to every mama expecting a little one, because postpartum recovery is just as much of an important thing to plan for as preparing for a newborn. Thank you so much to Mama Strut for reaching out to me on this collaboration + reminding me of how important it is to prepare for + give attention to the fourth trimester. Keep an eye out for an IG story to show how the system works + how much improvement I’ve made in healing the past few days since this photo was taken + in my uterus shrinking back down to it’s normal size. Mama Strut’s goal is not to “bounce back”, + this mama definitely has quite a ways to go, but it definitely helps make all the difference during the fourth trimester season in healing + helping mama feel like herself again.
