Feeling well after the fourth month of pregnancy can be made worse by lower back pain and fatigue. In order to relieve stress on the spine, a pregnant woman can choose a prenatal brace.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a bandage model according to your feelings. Models are different: in the form of shorts, in the form of a skirt, panties or just a belt. Do not focus only on appearance, pay attention to convenience. Although the design of the bandage can be different. For example, if you really like a model with lace, take it if you feel good in it. You may need to wear a bandage for a large number of hours a day, so you need to take care of your own comfort. There are no universal advice, every woman has her own body characteristics, and therefore the only way to choose the right one is to try on many different models and listen to your feelings.
Step 2
The bandage should be made of at least 90% natural materials, this will ensure good skin condition, you do not need diaper rash and irritation due to synthetics. Every six hours it needs to be removed for at least half an hour. Doctors differ on this issue, but many young mothers feel better if they take off the bandage for a while.
Step 3
Choose a bandage with fasteners that will not annoy you, hook fasteners are more practical than Velcro, but take longer to fasten and unfasten. By the way, some models can only be worn while lying down, so think in advance if you can do it yourself.
Step 4
Re-measure your hips under the abdomen; during pregnancy, the pelvic bones change position. And even if you don't gain weight, the dimensions will still change. You may like to wear a brace with corset inserts. Listen to how you feel when trying on.
Step 5
If you want to wear the brace after childbirth, please purchase it separately. It is very difficult to guess the size, because many gain or lose weight during pregnancy. Therefore, it is better not to take risks with combined bandages, your comfort comes first.
