It's an old practice in other parts of the world and I'm hoping it will not only help with shrinking my uterus to size but that it will help me to avoid what I've heard about your organs finding their place. Just think about it. They've been pushed up and out of the way and once there's nothing to hold them up, they have to come back down. Scary thought.
Anyways I've included two pictures. As always, please remember I do the majority of my posting from my phone right now so quality of pictures may well be compromised.
What I've done is pretty simple. I bought two 3" elastic bandages from the dollar store, sewed them together and now I have a full band to bind up my tummy after birth.
Instead of 6 inches, they measure 5 and a half which still works. I used zig zag stitching and made sure to stretch the bands as I sewed to make sure it will have some give to it.
I can't tell you how well it will work with them done this way but I have 3 weeks till my due date so I may know by then!

I'm finally on maternity leave. This week actually starts my first week of baby waiting. I'll be 37 weeks in a day. We're hoping to keep baby in as long as possible but of course you can always plan for things and things happen as they will.
I'm just about ready prep wise and will hopefully post more soon. I've been lagging lately. I made prefolds and a crib sheet today so I will post those up soon. The first ones aren't that great but its getting better!
