A bandage is a bandage used to support the abdominal organs and is used to make it easier to carry a baby. Its main functions are to support the abdomen and spine, since during the growth of the child, the load on the mother's body also increases.
It is necessary to use a bandage for varicose veins, because it reduces the load on the vessels, improving blood circulation. It is necessary to use a bandage for pathologies, for example, with polyhydramnios or in the presence of a scar on the uterus from a previous birth.
There are bandages on sale: prenatal, postnatal, universal.
There are three types of bandages:
- bandage belt
- bandage panties
- universal band
A bandage belt is a belt made of elastic material that is attached to the side or lower abdomen. Such a bandage is convenient in that you can independently adjust the degree of tightening. It is worn over underwear or tights. It is good to use it in the summer, since such a bandage leaves the belly open.
Bandage panties are panties in which a tape is immediately sewn. The wider the tape, the better. In front of such a bandage there is a high insert that covers the abdomen and stretches during the growth of the abdomen without squeezing it.
The universal bandage is a belt that can be used both during pregnancy and after childbirth. Such a belt has an orthopedic shape, one side is wider than the other and there are rigid fixators. When using such a bandage, you can easily adjust the size using the side clips. During pregnancy, the wide side of the brace should be at the back, and after childbirth, at the front.
Before you start using a bandage, you need to ask your doctor if you can use it and which type is better to choose.
