According to Webmd, belly bands help support the pelvic floor and stomach muscles after giving birth.

The baby’s name is a surprise as many believed Martha had leaked the name of her son earlier last month.
She posted to Instagram Stories to reveal the baby will have a classic Italian name, as well as sharing a page from a photo album that was made at her baby shower at the weekend which appeared to name the child.
Martha’s mother Mary had written in the book: ‘Dearest, Giuseppe, you are my first grandchild.’
She added at the end, ‘Love you Giuseppe. Can’t wait to meet you’.
Martha’s pregnancy journey wasn’t an easy one and the influencer had vanished offline before sharing new she was expecting.
The couple announced they were awaiting their first child in October, months after the influencer had already fallen pregnant.
They explained the reason for Martha’s prolonged absence from social media was because she was ill with excessive nausea and vomiting.
