They stated that “The use of a low non-elastic sacroiliac belt was a cost-effective unharmful tool for pain relief in many women with posterior pelvic pain.” (Ostgaard 1994) Because no side effects were found, they recommended the use of non-elastic sacroiliac belts for pregnant women who experienced posterior pelvic pain.

Overview

If you're finding sleep a problem and your conventional pregnancy pillow just isn't cutting it, this Babymoov Dream Belt offers a pregnancy belt and pillow combination.

Learning to manage your stress levels will be great practice for parenthood, when there are often multiple demands on your time.
