A belt is indeed needed during pregnancy days for abdominal support


A belt is indeed needed during pregnancy days for abdominal support to mom’s belly. During pregnancy phase, women abdomen starts expanding across the uterus exerting pressure on the backbone and pelvic girdle. The pain at this moment will be enormous and , so, will be difficult to  manage day to day work. Then after pregnancy the skin under abdomen starts shrinking for 6 months secreting hormones, estrogen, progesterone and relaxin loosening the abdominal muscles. It is advisable to wear a maternity support belt after child birth to adhere to the natural process of recovery. For postpartum support , mothers should use medically approved quality support belt. Theses belts come in different sizes depending on hip size. Mothers can wear it for 12 to 24 hours in a day for a period of 120 days as long as they feel comfortable till they are back to original shape. Medical compression  is available in different designs depending on what suits to natural recovery and C-section recovery.
