    Omg! I said retract the whole uterus thing, I obviously stated it the wrong way. Have you used one? If not, I'm sure your advice will be irrelevant, thanks for turning my whole forum into a joke...

    I have no idea about this, but I did have two babies over 30 years ago and both times, I got my belly flat again. Wise food choices and exercise did the trick.

    Thanks, I know it's possible because I have done it before myself without the Belly band, just curious about any testimonials with it.

    You've done it before, you don't need to pour money into it now. All it does is hold the loose bits in to give you confidence until things tighten again. It does nothing else. It's like wearing spanx, it provides temporary body shaping with no long term impact.

    Thanks for your thoughts...still torn. lol I guess if it doesn't work, it doesn't hurt anything but my pockets lol. I can't wait to show my own testimonial good or bad lol. I still have 4.5 months to go for that update though.

    I'm just confused at how it's supposed to "work"

    What would you be giving a testimonial about?

    What would happen whether you used one or not is the same thing.

    Go Google it...simple, if you have no advice particular to the use of this product I have no response, Google will help u answer those questions, I love how the more I say I need responses about actual users I keep getting the opposite. :)

    Wouldn't google help you answer your question, too?

    I had a medical Velcro belly wrap after I had major abdominal surgery. I assure you it didn't shrink my belly/uterus/other stuff. It just held everything in place so I could heal.

    Yeah google did help me thanks for your concern but I am also a member of MFP that happens to have a forum to help me too :wink: seen testimonials, seen blogs, seen pins and more...most of which actually had positive results and testimonials, so now I'm getting more feed back. But for some reason instead of people offering useful testimonials good or bad, some want to be negative about my curiousity, some want to continue questioning why I want to know, and some actually helped, thanks to those who stuck to the question at hand.

    1) Why is this under success stories?

    2) Uterus does what uterus wants. It will shrink back down on it's own because that's what it is designed to do.

    Post delivery wraps are not the same as a girdle, not even close. No squeezing. They're not that expensive, 35 to 150 - if you're interested give it a shot! The worst that happens is it makes you feel better!

    Have you checked reviews on Amazon? Those would mostly be people who bought them. I hope that your pregnancy and delivery goes well.

    Translation: this doesn't do what OP thinks it does. And this post I quoted is from someone that has supposedly used it.

    With my first baby I went flat easily the second took longer the 3rd was quickest this I what I did I used MFP I walked alot until all clear to do more strenuous exercise and I drank water but more importantly I gave my body the time to adapt because healing is what your body does naturally. Time my dear dont rush something that takes time and enjoy being a mummy. My youngest daughter id 2 and I'm glad ive not rushed my skin id tightening and I'm getting stronger looking great. Bandages and wraps? Dont you have bigger priorities than a flat tummy like making sure you sleep enough eat right stay hydrated and exercise that is manageable I'm not being negative or mean just enjoy your baby and in good time the body adapts through dedication.

    MFP a is like Reddit. Everyone is an expert!

    I've heard of this band. It supports your uterus after everything is loosened up down there. By securing it back where it was before birth, it's healing process is supposed to be faster. I'm not sure if it works, but it won't hurt to try!
