However, a pregnant woman should consult with her doctor and select with him the exact model of prenatal brace that will be most optimal for her and her baby.

Instructions
Step 1
It is best to wear the prenatal brace from a supine position with your hips slightly raised. In this position, the muscles of the abdominal cavity are relaxed, and the likelihood of correct fixation of the abdomen increases several times. In addition, lying on your back, it is easy enough to feel the pubic bone - the bandage should grab it.
Step 2
After you put on the bandage, you need to check if it is correctly positioned. There should be no feeling of tightness in the abdomen, discomfort. The prenatal brace should pass strictly under the abdomen, rest on the hips, press the pubic bone in front and fit snugly against the lower back.
Step 3
Make sure that you are comfortable doing certain movements with the bandage on. Walk in it for a while - 5-10 minutes. If no unpleasant sensations appear, then we can assume that the bandage is dressed correctly.
Step 4
Try wearing a bandage while standing in front of a mirror. It may be more convenient for you to fix it.
