After pregnancy, with the growth and development of the fetus, the expectant mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger, the body is getting heavier and heavier, and even the lower back is sore. Some expectant mothers are considering whether to use a pregnant belly support belt to support the abdomen, To reduce the heaviness of the body, the belly support belt for pregnant women can be used, but it cannot be used blindly, and not every expecting mother needs it.
What is a maternity support belt?
1. Pregnant women's abdominal support belt is also called medical abdominal belt. It is mainly designed for pregnant women with low fetal position or large abdomen in the middle and late pregnancy. Therefore, the width and length of the abdominal support belt should be carefully grasped to ensure that the abdomen is not in use. There will be pressure and discomfort because the belly support belt is too thin or too short.
2. The width of the abdominal support belt should be 14-15 cm, so that it can completely wrap the lower abdomen. The length of the abdominal support belt is about 95 cm, and it has an adjustable buckle or paste, which can be used with pregnant women. Adjusted to increase abdominal circumference.
The main functions of the abdominal support belt
1. In the early stage of pregnancy, the belly and back support belt is not a necessity for pregnant women, but after 5 months of pregnancy, with the bulge of the abdomen, the ligaments connecting the pelvis begin to loosen, and pregnant women will experience back pain and other discomfort. The belt supports the abdomen and relieves the problem of loose ligaments in the pelvis.
2. The maternity belts for back pain has the function of correcting the fetal position. When the fetal position of the pregnant woman is not correct, the use of the abdominal support belt after the inversion is restored to the correct position can prevent the fetal position from returning to the incorrect position and provide early help for natural delivery.
3. Using the pregnancy stomach band to support the abdomen can reduce the burden on the lower limbs, increase the blood circulation of the legs, and can improve and prevent pregnancy edema and varicose veins of the lower limbs.
4. When some pregnant women encounter huge fetuses, polyhydramnios, twins or multiple births, or when pregnant women are short in stature and have loose abdominal muscles, the lower abdomen tends to sag down, forming a hanging empty stomach, which moves the body's center of gravity forward and aggravates the spine. At this time, it is necessary to use the lower belly support band to hold up the bulging abdomen from below, and play a supporting role on the back to improve the problem of low back pain.
5. During pregnancy or after giving birth, due to the drooping abdomen, the uterus cannot get strong support due to the loosening and thinning of the connective tissue, so it falls off its original position. Play a role in protecting the fetal position.
