The product I want to talk to you about is a maternity belly support belt. I have very bad back pain due to the way I'm carrying, and I have been trying everything to ease the pain. At the big city moms shower, there was this support belt that I tried on, and fell in love right away. I didn't want to take it off, so I bought it. I'm not usually a big believer on thing like this, but this really works wonders! I find that it makes me stand straighter, and back pain during pregnancy has a lot to do with posture. Another reason why it helps for me is because when ever my back hurts it almost feels like I need to push it back Inwards so the belt provides that by its tightness. The belt I bought is a fit splint, it's great, it's thin so you can wear it under clothing and it's not so noticeable. For those of you with back pain I say to invest in one, it works better then my body pillow (which I love as well.)
Other tips for back pain!
Ask a friends, husband or anyone available to massage/rub your back.
Alternate between hot pads and ice packs every 15 minutes.
Do the basic stretching and exercise found in the book 'Wat to expect when your expecting'!
Bend down and lift thing with your feet NOT YOUR BACK (I need to work on this)!
