Comprehensive Guide to Pregnancy Back Support and Maternity Relief

Pregnancy Back Support offers the advantage of advanced designing and technically correct materials to provide the pregnant mother, effective support and immobilization on one hand and excellent aesthetics and comfort on the other. This support maintains the lumbo sacral region in the neutral position to allay “Pregnancy low back pain syndrome”.

Understanding Abdominal and Back Discomfort

An expectant mom’s mid-section is extremely prone to aches and pains during pregnancy. These pains may feel like a stitch, twinge, burning, pulling, tightening or simply aching. Lower backache and uncomfortable pressure in the pelvis are two of the woes most associated with the last trimester of pregnancy.

Reasons for this discomfort include:

• Increased progesterone levels leading to stretching and relaxing of ligaments that hold the bones together and organs in place.
• Changing posture and centre of gravity.
• Increased weight to be supported by the core muscles.
• Baby’s movements place unstable balance on the mid-section.
• Pressing on nerves in the area by baby.
• Deficient iron and calcium levels.
• The body’s centre of gravity gradually changes in pregnancy and upright posture is often affected.
• As the preggy belly grows and more weight is carried abdominally, back muscles need to compensate.
• There is additional strain on the lower spine, as the lumbar section is the main weight-bearing part of the back.

Top Tips for Pain Relief

Tips for Abdominal Ligament Pain:

• Walking, swimming and dancing are excellent for overall strength and posture.
• Massage painful areas using Arnica Oil.
• Take the tissue salt remedies Calc fluor and Ferrum phos to improve elasticity and strength of ligaments.
• Correct posture by pulling in tummy muscles and buttocks, keeping shoulders back and down and slightly tilting the chin upwards when walking.
• Sleeping with a pillow between the legs keeps the thigh bones slightly parted and helps relieve hip pain.

Tips for Backache and Lower Pelvic Pressure:

• Go down on all fours, with arms bent at the elbows, so that buttocks are higher than the head.
• Exercise regularly for improved muscle and ligament tone.
• Cross hands in the small of the back and press up against a wall.
• Try and consciously correct posture.
• For aching in the pelvis, cup hands around the lower part of your 'bump' and ‘lift’ it up a little to instantly soothe the pressure.
