This time around I have been determined to do things a little differently and started looking into products that would help me get my shape back a little quicker! The number one thing I would recommend for anyone giving birth is the Belly Bandit. I cannot believe the difference this made for me. After wearing this for less than a week I was in awe of the difference! Within a couple weeks I had my flat stomach back and I remember waking up in the middle of the night to feed Emma only to do double take in the mirror lifting my shirt up because I just couldn’t believe how much the Belly Bandit helped get me back into shape! The first week I would have to turn the light on (and wake Julian up!) and jump for joy because I just couldn’t believe the changes, thanks to the Belly Bandit! You really do have to see it to believe it!
After my first pregnancy it took well over a year to get even close to the results I’ve seen with the Belly Bandit in just a few weeks! My only gripe was that it wasn’t always comfortable to wear, and I had the softest one made out of bamboo fabric. At times I would tear it off just because it would move a little and was annoying to me while trying to get comfortable nursing a newborn. I don’t even wear a watch so having anything strapped on me just isn’t comfortable BUT totally worth it for the results so I usually didn’t mind wearing it because I had an almost immediate payoff for wearing the Belly Bandit. Here are the before and after pictures…
The above before picture was taken the day before I gave birth to Emma…41 weeks preggo!
The above After picture was taken just a couple weeks after I started wearing the Belly Bandit. I wore it home from the hospital the day after having Emma and wore it around the clock…except at night, but I hear plenty of Mamas say they wear it at night too.
The picture was taken recently, 4 months postpartum – I LOVE my belly bandit!

All in all, I’ve been able to bounce back after having this baby like nothing really happened and I feel great. I’ve had so many compliments and people always ask – “how do you look so good right after having a baby?!” I contribute it to the Belly Bandit and if you’re having a baby…you should definitely get one!
