Benefits of Stomach Support for Pregnant Women
Bump support is one of the equipment for pregnant women that is useful as a support for the stomach and back starting from the second trimester. Apart from supporting the stomach, here are the complete benefits of using other bump supports for pregnant women.
- Can Minimize Pain
When the stomach gets bigger, the movements are increasingly difficult and can cause pain in the back, waist and hips due to the increasingly heavy load on the stomach. Even for light activity you will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, bump support is able to minimize the burden and discomfort.
You need to know, pain in the stomach and back area is caused by relaxin or a hormone that causes joints to loosen. Usually the area that hurts is in the lower back next to the tailbone.
- Can Give A Feeling Of Comfort When Exercising
Exercise is an activity that may be difficult for you to do when you are in your second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Many pregnant women choose to stay at home because they are uncomfortable while exercising. In fact, to get a healthy and fit body condition, you still need time to exercise even if only for a short time.
Bump support can provide a sense of comfort when you exercise while protecting your stomach from the risk of pressure and impact. Sports also become more comfortable.
