Every newly pregnancy women initially questions the need for Maternity Support Bands............Read on..........
Pregnancy is one of the most amazing experiences a woman can have. Knowing that your baby is growing each day inside you, that you are nourishing and protecting it and that your body is going through such an astonishing transformation can be truly magical.
However, pregnancy is not plain sailing for all women. Many women suffer morning sickness and nausea (which, contrary to it name, can strike at any time of the day and indeed last all day for at least the first trimester!), carpal tunnel syndrome, pre-eclampsia, heartburn, swollen ankles, haemorrhoids, constipation, sciatica pain and Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) (to name by a few!).
As you progress throughout your pregnancy, your body releases the hormone relaxin. The hormone relaxin is released throughout you body to help to soften the joints and ligaments. This is in preparation for the birth of your baby and the changes your body goes through as your baby grows and extra pressure and strain are put upon your body. However, sometimes the release of the hormone relaxin can have a detrimental effect upon the body. In these cases the joints can soften too much and you can suffer from SPD. The symphysis pubis joint naturally widens during pregnancy to accommodate your baby, but in SPD sufferers it widens too much. This can cause extreme pain and discomfort when walking, opening your legs, or turning your body. This condition may last up until over six weeks after giving birth.
If you experience pain and discomfort in your pelvic region during pregnancy you should see your GP immediately, You will probably be referred to a physiotherapist who can offer advice and help to treat your SPD. In addition to the recommended treatments by your doctor, you can help yourself by wearing a Maternity Support band.
Maternity support bands come in many various designs, patterns, materials and colours. Maternity Support bands are designed to support your growing baby bump and you lower back. In addition to this Maternity support bands also help to take pressure off the pelvis, lumbar region and lower back area. Wearing a maternity support band can help women who are suffering from SPD and also women who are experiencing more general side, back and ligament pain that is often associated with pregnancy.
Maternity support bands are often purchased in your pre-pregnancy dress size and are made from breathable soft microfibres, making them comfortable to wear. They fit close and snug to the skin so can often be worn unnoticed under clothing.
In addition to wearing Maternity support bands, getting the right maternity underwear can go a long way towards making your pregnancy more comfortable. Specially designed maternity bras will support your growing breasts and maternity knickers should allow your bump to comfortably grow. You may also find that maternity underwear and even maternity support bands are now available in a range of styles and colours (as opposed to plain white, black and beige as suffered by pregnant women of yesteryear!).
