My kamar has started aching a bit and im 24 weeks now. Bought a maternity belt but not sure if its too early to start using it or i should wait. When did u all begin wearing urs?
Dekho, there's no fixed month, but most women start around the 5th or 6th month when back pain begins. But don't just buy and wear it yourself. Ask your doctor if your body actually needs it, otherwise it can make your muscles weak.
I recently delivered and honestly, I started using the support belt around my 24th week. My bump was very heavy and it really helped relieve that pulling pressure on my lower back when walking. Just make sure to take it off while sitting or sleeping.
My pregnancy app suggested a maternity belt around week 22 when my posture started changing. It really helped distribute the weight evenly. I bought a highly-rated breathable one online, and it made my daily walks so much easier.
My mother-in-law was a bit worried when I got the belt around my 6th month, she thought it would squeeze the baby! But I explained it just lifts the bump. My mother also said it's good to wear during light household chores to prevent back strain.
When my bump grew in the 6th month, I felt a lot of pelvic pressure and pain. My gynac suggested a maternity support belt and it literally felt like a warm hug for my tummy. It made going out so much more comfortable for me.
You can start using it around 6 months if you have to stand a lot in the kitchen or do house chores. I bought a simple, affordable one online and it saved my back. No need to spend thousands on high-end brands, basic ones work just fine.
My doctor at Cloudnine recommended I start wearing it in my 7th month, but only when I was going out or standing for long. She strictly told me not to wear it while resting because the muscles need to work too. Definitely ask your doctor before starting so they can guide you on the right fit.
I am in my 5th month now and my lower back has started hurting so much while walking. I was also thinking of buying a pregnancy belt but I'm a bit scared if it exerts pressure on the baby. Has anyone else used it in the second trimester without issues?
Betaji, you can use it around the late 2nd trimester if the back pain is too much. Along with that, try sitting with a small cushion behind your back and get a gentle warm oil back massage. Don't wear the belt tightly or for too long.
