WHICH PREGNANCY SUPPORT BELT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
While I was a student doctor at Palmer College, I became aware of how common low back pain is when one of my very first patients complained of that very symptom. The majority of pregnant women who became patients in my clinic were there for help with back pain. When my wife became pregnant with our first child she gained sixty pounds! As she got big fast in the seventh month she found great relief wearing a pregnancy belt. The one that she found worked best for her is called the Adjustable Prenatal Cradle, which can be seen by clicking on the following link, Pregnancy Support Belt How does a Pregnancy Support Belt work?A pregnancy belt works by relieving pressure on your low back as your growing abdomen pulls forward with more and more weight.The support provided by your pregnancy belt takes pressure off your low back, hips, legs, and abdomen. Most pregnancy belts have an adjustable pad that tucks under your growing belly, and provides gentle support. The pregnancy belt that I think works better than any other is the Adjustable Prenatal Cradle, item # 99001 which can be seen here Maternity Supports and Braces An added benefit is that pregnancy belts can prevent the formation of stretch marks by keeping the skin of your abdomen from being overstretched. When do I need a Pregnancy Support Belt?Some women start feeling back pain as early as the beginning of the second trimester. In this case you would get six months of relief by wearing a support belt.Pregnancy belts offer much more than just pain relief. Wearing a pregnancy belt will leave you more rested as you won’t have your energy drained by back pain. Being rested going into labor makes your delivery go smoother and allows you a quicker recovery after the birth process. Most pregnancy belts don’t show under clothing, so you can feel better and look stylish. Maternity belts come in a variety of styles. The key to all of them is that they transfer the weight of your abdomen evenly to your spine where it should be. Back pain relief can be immediate, and pressure on the sciatic nerve, which causes leg pain, is also reduced. Pregnancy belts also reduce pressure on your organs which helps you to breathe easier even as your belly gets very big. To Your Best Health, Dr. Cliff
