Product Information

Additional stress on the joints from falls, accidents, poor posture, sitting too long, or activities that include bending, lifting, and twisting can increase the muscular response and pain. Pregnancy support belts are safe to wear from the first trimester, or as soon as you start feeling pregnancy niggles and need that extra support around your tummy.

So I'm using the Nexcare Elastic Pregnancy Belly/Bump Support”. (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user londonloves) One important principle seems to be ignored: you can’t push a muscle into shape. The tone of the muscles must be reestablished, and they will respond by tightening. Remember, in response to pelvic ligament laxity, the nutation muscles (most of the belly muscles) loosen because, when too tight, they would put more stress on pelvic ligaments, unless the SI joint is properly stabilized.

How many hours a day should you wear a maternity support belt?

you’ve experienced symphysis pubis dysfunction at another time in your life already, such as in a previous pregnancy However, unlike some maternity belts, this one cannot be machine washed, instead you need to hand wash it in cold water and leave it to air dry. And drying may take up to 12 hours, so make sure you wash it when you know you won’t be needing to wear it again for a while.

The Serola SI Belt helps by acting as an external ligament support, allowing the tight counternutation muscles to relax and, just as importantly, it helps the nutation muscles maintain ideal tightness to support the baby during pregnancy. When these muscles are strengthened in pregnancy, their function will be improved in labor when she needs to push. Historically, women in many countries wrapped their pelvis with a cloth after pregnancy to help alleviate pain after childbirth. When the baby drops into the lower abdomen, the symphysis pubis becomes more involved and may become painful. Studies have shown that, at this point, it is better to lower the Serola SI Belt, from just above the trochanters, to directly on them. Because the trochanters are the widest part of the pelvis, we have made a Serola Belt Extender that increases the size of the belt to help it fit, with minimal expense. Please see the pictures above and our directions video.

For optimal results, perform a gentle lift to elevate your belly slightly, enhancing the supportive effects of the band.

Sixty-three women enrolled. On multivariable analysis, immediate belted ASLR score was -2.70 points lower than the non-belted ASLR score (P < .001). Four weeks later there was significant improvement in the ASLR score with a belt (M diff = -0.99; P = .001) and without a belt (M diff = -1.94; P < .001); the decline was more precipitous for the non-belted response (M diff = -0.96; P = .02). Current NRS pain scores declined from baseline by approximately -0.94 points (P < .001). This decline did not depend on ASLR scores (interaction P = .43) or wearing a belt at the time of testing (interaction P = .51). Similar conclusions held for participants' usual NRS score and average PGQ score. After 4 weeks, 82% reported improvement based on the PGII.
