A member asked:
I am 5 months pp and didn't really use a pp belt.now my belly is huge and my hips v wide. will a postpartum belt help now? will my hips and belly be this way forever

Belly down hips stay: Having a baby provides a lot of hormone production which increases the "width" of your hips and the pregnancy growth increases the abdominal stretching. The bony structure of your hips will stay, but the "fat" on the sides and abdomen can be reduced through a post partum exercise program.
