Comfort After Birth is Possible With Postpartum Leggings
Heather Jeffcoat, DPT
Bringing a new life into the world is a transformative chapter where a woman's body undergoes profound changes.
Maternity leggings provide comfort to one's growing bump, but postpartum leggings? They're like a full-body hug, providing the indispensable support and comfort your body craves as it gracefully heals.
In a recent interview with The Bump, I emphasized that:
"Pregnancy, a time when your blood volume can surge by as much as 50 percent, requires a bit of time to recalibrate postpartum.
Postpartum leggings, the unsung heroes for recovery, come to the rescue. They enhance lower limb circulation, alleviate the strain on your groin and pelvis, ease discomfort from c-section or vaginal delivery, help to support pesky lower back pain, and tenderly cradle your perineal and abdominal areas. As I pointed out,
"Postpartum brings with it a surge in progesterone, leading to swelling in your extremities. Postpartum leggings? They're the soothing balm, addressing both the swelling and the associated discomfort.
Now, you might be wondering: "What sets maternity leggings apart from their postpartum counterparts?" It's beautifully simple. Maternity leggings are designed to embrace the unique changes that come with pregnancy. In contrast, postpartum leggings are the supportive cocoon that welcomes and nurtures the changes that follow the miracle of childbirth.
