I came here from Holly Mathis' blog, and must say that I do like you :-)<br /><br />I had a c-section two years ago and am going for a VBAC this time around (in September), if all works out. My mom had 10 kids and she wore a two big ace bandages wrapped around her mid-section, starting from right underneath the bra all the way down to her hips. She did that for 40 days post-partum and she swore by it...the only way to get that uterus back to where it belongs. I did it too after my first baby, and no lie, in four months my stomach went back to how it was before (which was a COMPLETE surprise!). I'm sure nursing had something to do with it too.<br /><br />And of course, my mom taught me all about swaddling, and I did it till my daughter was 6 months as well. It made the biggest difference.daniellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620965812112645981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233658764478848420.post-4536526448560061422009-06-30T14:12:18.324-05:002009-06-30T14:12:18.324-05:00Hello, please pardon the intrusion.

I can’t thank you and others enough for helping us spread the word because people just don’t believe us when we tell them it might be “this easy.” That's why word-of-mouth has been the biggest source of growth for us since day one.<br /><br />To show our gratitude I'd like to send you a free Miracle Blanket. If you don’t need it for yourself you might give it as a gift or maybe a giveaway on your blog. <br /><br />Please contact Susan in Marketing and let her know what color you would like. Susan@MiracleBlanket.com or (214) 675.0539.<br /><br />And again, thank you very much.<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233658764478848420.post-9797830858737524112009-06-06T18:16:01.924-05:002009-06-06T18:16:01.924-05:00I lived in my tummy tightener for probably two mon...I lived in my tummy tightener for probably two months after I had Johnathan. They gave me mine at the hospital, and I only took it off for showering and occasionally to let my tummy breathe for a bit. It was a life-saver, and I can't imagine what it must have felt like to recover without one! Glad that you found yourself one this time around, your tummy will be back in shape in no time!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955750840534923340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233658764478848420.post-88008122250311834082009-06-05T16:52:49.592-05:002009-06-05T16:52:49.592-05:00I have heard amazing things about the miracle blan...I have heard amazing things about the miracle blanket and swaddling.. if I need any tips when Sawyer gets here I will be giving you a call!<br /><br />By the way, Ruthie is absolutely gorgeous Lyns!

I don't know how I made it without one with Josiah!<br /><br />I also used a tummy band after a normal birth (no c-section), and it was a huge help in the recovery. All that giggly belly is really tough. Supporting it made me feel so much stronger. My abdominal wall muscles had separated during pregnancy, so I really needed that extra support.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778868276347075644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233658764478848420.post-58717095633150711882009-05-31T16:04:15.439-05:002009-05-31T16:04:15.439-05:00Dang - I don't know that they had miracle blankets...Dang - I don't know that they had miracle blankets when mine were born.....or maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.
