Why does my back hurt during pregnancy?

Even in the early stages of pregnancy, when the belly is not yet visible, a woman may experience back pain. This is due to the shift in the center of gravity of the body and changes in gait, to which the body needs to adapt. In the future, the more the belly increases, the greater the load on the back, and lower back pain is getting stronger. It is most difficult for moms of twins and triplets: often when walking they have to literally support the belly with their hands to ease the load on the lumbar spine.

Also in the second-third trimester of pregnancy begin to appear stretch marks. The thinning skin is very sensitive to stress, and without abdominal support, stretch marks usually progress, become more noticeable and their number increases.

How to alleviate the condition of the expectant mother?

In case of a significant increase in the abdomen and severe lower back pain, doctors recommend the use of special bandages for pregnant women: they provide the necessary support and relieve the back.

But if the symptoms are not so strong, a woman can use medical elastic supportive prenatal panties. They gently support the abdomen without squeezing it, while reducing discomfort in the lumbar region.

How do supportive prenatal panties “work”?

Thanks to a special structure elastic prenatal underpants:

  • support the front wall of the abdomen, but at the same time do not disturb the development of the fetus, but on the contrary, help it to take the correct position;
  • relieve the lumbar;
  • facilitate walking, eliminate the feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen.
