Awwwwwwww...CP hun? Wear a corset for fun and frivolity...NOT to get "back" into shape after childbirth! If...immediately following childbirth...you tie on a corset to squeeze yourself back into shape...you might hurt yourself (medically)...and have to take time away from your precious new baby to get healthy again. I can't say that will happen for certain...but it isn't out of the question.
Let nature take it's course. The female body reciprocates very nicely to childbirth and can return to it's healthy and original self soon after childbirth (if, during the pregnancy...you don't think you are eating for two, and gain double your own weight). Do what the doctor says...keep fit, but don't over-do-it for the sake of the female figure! I am willing to bet my farm on the fact that after you fall in love with your child...a corset will be the last thing on your list of things to worry about!!!!!!!!
I've read some posts from you before...similar to this subject. I'm telling you the truth when I say the female body CAN handle pregnancy! Example: Christie Brinkley (supermodel)...three children...still super and still a model! It isn't the clothes we wear afterwards...it's taking the time to let ourselves get back to where we were. It took 9 months to have the baby...give yourself at least 3-9 months to get back to your old self.
Do me a favor hun...and tell us why you are so stressed out about your figure after having a child. Is your S/O pressuring you to have his baby...but you'd better NOT gain weight? Most women care more about the health of their child...but you keep approaching this future pregnancy as a burden you must eventually bear, and seem to care more about your body than the child in question. Sorry for being so direct...but, as I said...this isn't the first time you've touched on this subject.
Help us understand your concerns!
