I have often wondered about tight clothing and support both before
and after birth as all the articles I have read on liposuction have all
said that the skin needs to b supported while it shrinks back and to help
this they have firm clothing and special tight fitting garments to aid in
the shrinking of the skin as the fat is removed and it has to shrink
back. is this not the same when a baby is born - the skin has to
shrink back in a short amount of time even if it has had a longer
time to stretch. I wish someone had suggested this after my last
baby - especially after a c/s. I am sure my "sag" would not be so
bad had I done something like that.

[ozmidwifery] Third time labours
My immediate thought would be that they may have a wide
gap in their
abdo muscles which instead of supporting the uterus
allows it to drop
into the gap when they are upright. Of course when
they lie down the
uterus falls back and on palp all feels OK. What
happens though is that
with the uterus too far forward the baby is not
encouraged into the
pelvis and hence no real stimulation of the cervix
to encourage
prostaglandin, or oxytocin production or provide
mechanical dilatation.
What to do is maybe encourage wearing of firm
undies that support the
abdo. (A woman told me the other day that when
she had her babies in the
sixties they were told to wear very firm
underwear that supported the
stomach muscles.) Sport nicks would be
what I would suggest. Hope this
helps and this is the sort of stuff we
all hold in our heads but nobody
gets around to writing down
