Sitting eating lunch I suddenly heard a big bang on my glass sliding door, I thought It was my husband as it's sometimes his way of telling me he's home. But the sound of the keys fidgeting at the lock never came. I started getting a little nervous, so I peeked through all my windows but didn't see anyone there. I called my husband in a little bit of a panic asking if it was him, he had no idea what I was talking about so he stayed on the phone as I checked around. I checked the porch door and found a bunch a little feathers stuck to the glass. Laughing to my husband how a bird have flown into the window! I suddenly noticed this poor little bird laying there on the ground! I thought it was dead, But as I moved the leaves the bird and I both jump up, but it wasn't flying away. That's when my maternal instincts started to kick in, I felt so helpless how am I supposed to help a bird? So i made a few phone calls and they helped me out. They told me the birds was just in shock and it should fly away when it feels ready! And that's exactly what it did! :)
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!
