Read More »According to Sherry A. Ross, MD, author of “she-ology, The Definitive Guide to Women’s Intimate Health. Period”, the benefits and risks for pregnant women depend on the maternity shapewear product, and how much you wear it. She goes on to say that: “Maternity shapewear that is too tight and puts too much pressure on the body is never a good idea. If you have trouble breathing, or you're in pain while wearing your shapewear, that's a sign that it's probably too tight for you". Discomfort, pain, reduced blood circulation and heartburn are some of potential issues from maternity shapewear that is too tight or worn for prolonged periods of time. Ross is most concerned about the Kardashian favorite “waist trainers” that can, if done up too tightly, compress and squeeze internal organs and ribs. Dr. Christopher Smith points out that there is some concern that wearing a maternity support belt during pregnancy may impair blood circulation, and negatively impact pelvic floor and bowel function. He recommends women wear belly bands for short periods at a time to prevent dependency and encourages them to use maternity support belts in conjunction with core muscle strengthening programs. The commonly accepted advice about belly belts means that you shouldn’t be wearing it all day long every day. Wearing it just for two to three hours every day is best. If you were to wear it too long, you may end up weakening your lower body muscles causing muscle wastage: a garment that supports your stomach and bottom all day, every day, will take the load away from muscles and ligaments. What are the alternatives to Belly Belts or Maternity Belts? Purpose made compression garments are more expensive but may present a more versatile and functional investment for many pregnant and post-partum mums. They can be worn as outerwear as well as undergarments and may be worn 24 hours per day without deactivating your muscles. SRC Health is a leading Australian brand that has been designed by women for women in consultation with an obstetrician. SRC Pregnancy Shorts and Leggings are ideal for providing pain relief during pregnancy and treating Low Back Pain, Pelvic Girdle Pain, Mild Varicose Veins, Sciatica and Vulvar Varicosities. They can be worn from 12 weeks, until term. Some women with severe pain combine a pregnancy belt with SRC Pregnancy Compression Shorts /Leggings. This prevents atrophy due to prolonged muscle deactivation during periods where they need to be on their feet a lot and require additional support. SRC Recovery Shorts and Leggings can assist women with fast tracking recovery after pregnancy by treating Abdominal Muscle Separation, Perineal Tears and stitches, C-Section wounds, Sciatica and Low Back Pain. With no adjustable buttons, velcro or zips, the garment doesn’t need to be constantly adjusted while wearing. Recommended by health care professionals for improving mobility and pelvic muscle function post-partum it’s ideal for exercise and for aesthetic reasons under fitted clothing. It can be worn the day after delivery and for as long as it provides benefit. A holistic approach to management of these pre and post pregnancy conditions will produce the best outcome. Visiting a Women’s Health Physiotherapist can greatly assist as they will provide you with a tailored program which may include clinical Pilates as well as fit you for the right garment for supporting you through the pregnancy journey.
