1. They Decrease Hip and Joint Pain
The growing baby in your belly results in pain in your pelvic area, especially the sacroiliac joint (a pair of joints, one on the left and one on the right side of the pelvis). This pain is caused by the increased production of a hormone, relaxin, during pregnancy. Relaxin causes the hip joints to become less stable. Maternity belts provide support to this area and relieve the pain.
2. They Improve Posture
Your core muscles are weaker during pregnancy. Your spine tends to extend forward when your unborn baby applies pressure on your spine. Maternity support belts relieve some of this pressure, thus, improving your posture.
3. They Support Movement
Maternity belts provide a gentle compression to the lower region of your belly and support your heavy uterus during movements. Since they relieve some of the pressure from your lower back, you will experience less difficulty engaging in physical activities. These belts are recommended for women who continue working well into their pregnancy.
