Such a round, pregnant baby belly is beautiful, isn't it? Especially if it's also a bit portable. Unfortunately, many women experience a turning point during pregnancy sometime in the second or third trimester. If you didn't get enough of your new curves at first, that will change later in the pregnancy. You can't tie your shoelaces, snuggle in bed, or shave your legs. But you're willing to do all that for your baby, right?
It will be different when that pregnancy belly starts to cause really painful complaints. Your body has to adapt quite a bit during your pregnancy. And that is not always easy. The average woman gains 12 pounds during her pregnancy. I didn't manage to do that by the way… I gained almost 30 kilos in both pregnancies! That gave a kind of ten-ton effect.
The more slender you are, and the more you gain weight, the sooner you will suffer from, for example, lower back pain during pregnancy. In this article you can read more about what you can do about it.
Back pain during pregnancy is not only caused by the extra kilos. Your hormones are also a big culprit in this case. Due to the increase of Progesterone in your body, your tires become softer. This makes your balance more difficult and makes the weight less portable. Add to that extra weight, weaker abs and a uterus that is getting heavier and voilà.
The more pregnancy kilos you gain, the heavier it will be for you. Back pain and lumbar pain are common in pregnant women. Especially after standing, sitting or walking for a long time you can get it in your back. But even when you get out of bed in the morning you can already suffer from pain. Annoying, but luckily you can limit the pain with these tips.
Wearing a belly band during your pregnancy is nothing new. But while some of those models offer a little bit of support (and look great), you're not going to prevent back pain during pregnancy. Do you have the feeling that you can barely carry your own belly, just like I did back then? Then you need something stronger than a belly band. There is now the Anita Maternity Babybelt especially for those moms.
The baby belt is a pregnancy support belt that is especially suitable for the last (heaviest) weeks of your pregnancy. It counteracts back and lumbar pain and offers support to your round stomach. Due to the elastic zones, it is not only comfortable when you walk or stand, but also when a sitting break has to be inserted (again 😉). Come on mom, come on!
The baby belt is available in 3 colours:white, black and skin. The material breathes very well. That's a good thing, because your pregnancy is already a challenge in itself and you don't need a sweaty belly right now. The Velcro strap makes it adjustable to any desired width. But beware, you have to have the right size for the belly. The baby belt comes in sizes XS to XL.
Because of the back pain you may be inclined to not do much anymore, but the right movement is very important right now. Think, for example, of swimming (your belly is carried by the water) or, for example, pregnancy yoga.
Standing still for too long is not good for you. When standing still, make sure that you are standing on both legs so that your weight is well distributed.
As it should! So lower your knees to pick something up from the floor and not bend and let your stomach hang forward. This is always good by the way 😉 .
Not too heavy please. You're pregnant, not disabled, that's right. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of yourself. I know from myself that I have been carrying excessive amounts during my pregnancies. Especially with the first. I would show the world that I could do it all. With the necessary back pain and hard bellies as a result. Stupid!
Being beautiful pregnant is fantastic. But you can also exaggerate in your clothing and footwear. So make sure you wear good shoes and try to avoid heels. Your posture will change because of this and that will not benefit your back pain during pregnancy.
If you have persistent, severe back pain, it is always a good idea to visit your doctor. Especially if you suffer from acute, severe pain or suffer from a 'numbness' or tingling in your legs. You could then have pelvic instability. The GP can easily determine this.
Pelvic instability occurs with some regularity in pregnant women. 'Normal' back and lumbar pain, on the other hand, is something that most mothers-to-be will suffer from sooner or later during their pregnancy. With the Babybelt and the above tips, you provide more comfort and the support your body needs.
