Instructions
Step 1
To properly put on the maternity bandage, you first need to lie down. It is also advisable to raise your hips by placing a roller or small pillow under them. First, it will help you relax and release tension from your abs and back muscles. Secondly, the fetus will be able to move to the upper part of your abdomen, which will relieve some of the pressure on the lower back and reduce the pressure of the uterus on the bladder. The unborn baby will take time to take the correct position. So you will need to lie down for 5 or 10 minutes. Relax and breathe deeply so that both you and the fetus feel comfortable and comfortable. If you put on the brace in an upright position and hastily, the pressure on the uterus will not be distributed correctly. Also, the belt can transmit blood vessels, which will disrupt the circulation of the uterus and placenta and increase the risk of fetal hypoxia.
Step 2
When the unborn child is in a comfortable position, you can start putting on the bandage. The most convenient option is a bandage belt, but you can also wear special bandage pants. Place the widest part of the waistband under your lower back, straighten it out. Now draw the narrow part under your belly. Fasten the bandage. If you are wearing a bandage brief, gently lift your legs by bending your knees and then lift your hips and buttocks. Correct everything and make sure you are comfortable. The bandage should fit fairly tightly to the body, but not press. The wide part is located on the lower back, and the narrow part is located under the belly at the level of the pubic bone.
Step 3
The bandage is on, now you can get out of bed. But you need to do it right. Avoid jerking or sudden movements. First, slowly and carefully roll onto your side. Then start lowering your legs from the bed, and then gently lift your torso and stand on the floor. Make sure the brace is fitted correctly. Walk, sit, change position. You should be comfortable and comfortable. Also try placing one or two fingers between your belt and your body. If they come in, but there is no more free space left, you did everything right. If you feel uncomfortable, lie down again and remove the brace, and then put it back on.
Step 4
It is also necessary to remove the bandage correctly. Lie down, unfasten the belt, remove it and lie down for a while. The fetus will take a comfortable position and move to the lower part of your abdomen. Then roll over onto your side, lower your feet to the floor and stand up gently. If the bandage is removed in an upright position, the increased stress on the uterus can lead to hypertonicity.
