Get A Quality Pregnancy Back Brace

By Christa Jarvis


The discomfort that inevitably comes with a growing tummy need not be endured by pregnant mothers any longer as there is wonderful relief in the form of braces. With extensive research, a wide variety of pregnancy back brace models have been designed to provide extra support to the abdominal and lower lumbar regions.

The pregnant woman's spine will inevitably change shape and movement as the lower section may flatten slightly or an existing arched spine may arch further. If previous pregnancies have been involved, the mother will probably know exactly when to start using the braces and will be glad to have the relief.

The mother should avoid lifting or carrying anything heavy. If this is unavoidable then the knees should be bent and not the spine, without twisting. Encourage older children to climb into their car seat or high chairs without your assistance.

To avoid putting unnecessary strain on the spine and pelvis, lifting of heavy objects should be avoided and showing children how to get into their high chairs and car seats will not only make them more independent but will also prevent any unnecessary discomfort. A good model will be of invaluable use to the mother if there are toddlers in the picture.

The fortunate solution is there for all to be had and with modern technology a great deal of research can be done before a brace is decided on. Most braces are normally lightweight and very comfortable to wear during all sorts of weather and over any kind of clothing. Over day clothing the brace will not be visible and can be worn most of the day to ensure continued comfort and may even be slept in provided the belt is not applied too tight.

A solution is therefore to be had in a brace and with all the research that is being done, the choices are very wide, before a particular brace is decided on. They are inevitably made of lightweight fabric and supportive elastic and very comfortable to wear under any form of clothing.

It is most likely that the mother's doctor will endorse and recommend the use of a back brace even at early stages of the term and could even suggest a particular design. At this stage the mother should receive all the advice and support that she can get as every term is a different experience.Braces encourage early mobility following a caesarean section or other abdominal and pelvic operations, such as tummy tucks, hernias or after you have had a hysterectomy, allowing quicker return to your normal daily active life. The doctor's recommendation is advisable in this instance.

Not many pregnant mothers escape the mood changes that are brought on by the change in hormones and if one more discomfort can be alleviated, then let it be the support of that ever growing tummy. The arrival of the new member of the family can then be awaited with fewer aches and pains. Under doctor's supervision the brace may be worn after major surgery, thus allowing a more rapid return to normal activities. The belt is often found to provide huge relief after hysterectomy as the tummy muscles are then given a better chance to heal quicker.
