Why Pregnant Women Need a Maternity Belt, What is for?

Maternity belts can be very useful to relieve back pains and provide pelvic support and lower back support during pregnancy. It ensures you feel more comfortable while you are taking exercises or maintain daily lives.

As your pregnancy advances,  the body undergoes numerous changes.  A maternity belt that you wrap around your back provides back support and lifts your belly. This minimises the pulling forward and down of your pregnant belly that is often the cause of back pain.

Pregnant moms who want to continue their works but want to decrease the jostle of working out on their pregnant belly, it is the right choice to wear a maternity belt.

Maternity belts come in three basic types. The first,  and most common, is a belt that you wrap around your back and is closed with Velcro under the abdomen. This type of belt is visible under clothing and can be bulky.

It can be extremely effective at redistributing the weight of your pregnancy.

A second type is similar to a tube top that you pull over the belly.

The last type is a camisole style of support that provides the lightest support.

A maternity belt can help reduce the back pain, but cannot relieve it entirely. Remember that back pain is a symptom of preterm labor. You may need to talk with your doctor about the pain before buying a maternity belt, especially if you have a history of early labor.

Most insurance companies cover the cost of a maternity belt. It's considered a durable medical good under most insurance plans.
