Tummy Wraps - Post Pregnancy?

I'm currently pregnant with baby number 2 and finally "fullterm," so it's all the waiting game now. I've packed on a good 35lbs since getting pregnant and I will probably be waiting another 3 weeks at least for baby to come. Have any of you other moms tried the belly wraps after baby? I'm not looking for an easy out to getting back in shape, I know it is going to take a lot of hard work dedication and time - I just remember after my first baby my tummy was so flabby and needed major toning. Since you are supposed to wait until your 6week post appointment to get the "okay" to exercise normally I'm thinking maybe this can help jump start my journey to get back in shape. I've seen success with these but have any of you tried this? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    A tummy wrap won't jump start your journey to getting back into shape because it literally has nothing to do with how healthy you are.

    -It does not help you lose fat
    -It does not increase your fitness
    -If you lose weight it's only water weight because it dehydrates you

    You would be better off to start focusing on balanced nutrition until you can add exercise into your routine.

    No. None of those mean anything or will do anything.
