Women who have had a c-section must take over 10 months before they can wear a girdle/garter.

Doctors explain that a c-section birth needs special rejuvenation because an operation is so stressful. Also a new born needs a mother’s attention, so you have to ensure that you don’t hurt yourself in the process.

Wrapping the belly (stomach) is likely to damage the wound/scar and open it afresh, damaging the tissues.

The doctors say that even when nine months have passed after childbirth, anything can happen to a woman because the layers inside the abdomen would still heal in.

If one must use a girdle after a C-Section, this should be a year after birth and it shouldn’t be tight. The girdle should also be smooth and shouldn’t touch the spot where the incision was made. However for a normal delivery, one can use the girdle after about 7-8 weeks.

Dr. Aisha Rashid of Clinic on Aids Research says that even with belly tying, the stomach would still bulge. The sure way to shed the weight is by exercising or having an active lifestyle.

Look at the young mothers in mountainous ears like kisoro, they give birth and do lots of exercised like climbing hills and digging. One may not know whether they have given birth because they do lots of exercises.
