In the last months of pregnancy, women often begin to worry about back pain. In order to soften the load and to compensate for the increased weight, pregnant women try to arch their back and lean back. As a result, the sacral spine is under constant stress, and the woman feels muscle pain in the back. To relieve these problems, special elastic belts, called bandages, have been created. A properly selected bandage gives a woman the opportunity not to stop the active lifestyle to which she was used to before pregnancy, while keeping her posture correct and her back healthy.

Instructions
Step 1
In order to determine the size of the prenatal brace, you need to take one measurement - the volume of the thighs under the belly. So, a ninety-second size bandage is suitable for women whose measurement results fit in the range from eighty-nine to ninety-two centimeters, and one hundred and twelve - from one hundred and nine to one hundred and twelve centimeters.
Step 2
This is not to say that there is a universal model suitable for all women, without exception. When buying a bandage, you should try on several models and determine the one that suits a particular woman.
Step 3
One of the ways to understand how well the choice was made is to put on the bandage and run the back of your hand between the tummy and the elastic band. If it is chosen incorrectly, the hand will either slide freely, or the elastic will be strongly pressed on it.
Step 4
In addition, it is important to understand whether the brace is comfortable when walking and when the woman is sitting or standing. That is why it is recommended to buy it in a specialized store, where experienced consultants will help you choose a bandage according to all the rules and tell you which cream is best to use when wearing it in order to avoid peeling stretch marks and give the abdominal skin elasticity.
