(Australia-NewsWire.Com, January 19, 2014 ) Melbourne, Victoria -- Pregnancy is a time of flooding hormones and massive changes to your body, you may have heard you need a Maternity Support Belt or Postpartum Abdominal Belt. In short a set of supportive belts to help carry the weight of your belly and get your figure back post pregnancy. But, it all seems a little confusing when they can be called so many things, and terms like postpartum, abdomen and girdle just don't seem to mesh.
Quirky Bubba is an Australian based company sells a two pack of these products for your ease and connivance. Here is their detailed outline on what exactly they are and what they do!
The first of these products is a Maternity Support Belt, and it is designed to help relieve the weight of carrying a baby in your belly. By strapping around the base of your bump and having a wide, stretchy back section it adjusts to your shape as your baby bump grows.
It should be light and comfortable when fitted and provide excellent back and abdominal support. You will feel more relaxed and rested with the help of a maternity support belt.
Meanwhile a Postpartum Abdominal Belt can be used in the early stages of pregnancy, but is more designed for post pregnancy (postpartum), after bubba is born. Its function is to securely support your belly and by contracting or gently squeezing it in. The Postpartum Abdominal Belt helps you get your pre-pregnancy figure back.
When buying either of these products, make sure you get ones that are adjustable, made of sturdy fabric, easy to use and properly supportive. You may even want to get both together in a combo pack, as once baby is born you want to start using your Postpartum Abdominal Belt right away.
