THE REASON WHY WE MADE THIS

No matter how you gave birth, or whether your pregnancy was easy or more challenging, your body has been through enormous changes. It's been stretched & stressed. It is no surprise if it needs time and help to recover.  

More than half of new mamas will experience abdominal separation (diastasis recti) - resulting in that postpartum bulge. You may be needing extra abdominal support as your muscles move back in place.

If you delivered via caesarean, you are recovering from major surgery. You may feel sore following your C-section and find it harder to move.  Bending over to pick up your baby or change a nappy may be proving painful.  We made this postpartum legging to provide support to the affected area during recovery, and make some of those daily tasks easier.

The ankle zips are an added detail to make the leggings easier to put on & take off. If you are suffering from mother's wrist and discomfort in your hands, the zips are also helpful.

During the postpartum period, you may also be experiencing extra fluid retention & may be more swollen or puffier in your legs, hands or even face. Whether you are still in hospital, sitting more while holding or nursing your baby,  or simply be less mobile because you are recovering - all of these can contribute to reduce circulation & swollen feet. Graduated compression can help

THE EXTRA STATS YOU SHOULD KNOW

• About 60% of women will have problems with abdominal separation (Diastasis recti) following birth.  During pregnancy your stomach muscles can weaken and separate as your belly grows.
• Some recover within 6 weeks of the postnatal period, 45% within 6 months, and about 30% may still have issues still 12 months after birth. 
• About 30% of babies are delivered by C-section. Recovery can be 4-6 weeks after surgery, but 60% of women can still experience pain some 24 weeks after. Following C-section surgery the abdominal muscles are even further weakened and in need of support. 
• Postpartum fluid retention is still common, even months after birth. The extra fluid volume that occurred during pregnancy and in preparation for birth, can still exist within the tissues in the body.
• Women who have been induced will also have fluids introduced via the hormone and saline drips that are absorbed into the body. The excess fluids in the body result in swelling & puffiness.
• The additional fluid can be excreted through your sweat and urine. Movement and improving blood flow and circulation is also important to assist the removal of waste fluids. TheRY leggings and socks with 15-20mmHg compression can help improve circulation to facilitate this process.
• In the first 6 weeks following birth you are 3-5X more likely to develop blood clots. This is also due to the extra time recovering or sitting nursing your baby when movement is restricted.
