Post natal massage and binding

It's definitely not mandatory, but many mums enjoy postnatal massage because it helps them relax and eases some of the aches and muscle tension after delivery. 😊 For binding, it's more of a personal preference. It won't make weight come off faster, but some mums find the extra abdominal and back support helpful, especially in the first few weeks postpartum or after a C-section. I used a binder after my pregnancies - CS mum here. If you've had a CS, do check with your doctor first, and stop if it feels uncomfortable. I'd consider both a nice bonus rather than a must-have for recovery ❤️

I did postpartum massage and binding after both my kids, and honestly it made a difference to how I felt recovery-wise, especially the back and pelvic area tightness. I think it's more about personal preference than mandatory though - some mums swear by it, others skip it entirely and feel fine. The binding helped me feel more supported when moving around, which was nice during the first few weeks when everything felt loose and achy. I'd say if your budget allows and you want that extra bit of pampering and support, go for it, but it's not something you absolutely need to do to recover well.
