If you read my blog on a regular basis you know that I have experienced some pains in my bum area, when I mentioned this for the first time to one of the midwives she said that it could be due to baby's position, in one of my latest updates on the blog some of you lovely readers suggested it could be sciatica, which wasn't confirmed, I was told it's SPD and luckily was referred to see a physiotherapist.
In
the meantime I decided to try Nexcarematernity support. The
Nexcare™ Maternity Support is a latex-free, elasticated support
belt that can help to ease some of the physical discomfort associated
with pregnancy. It provides gentle but firm support underneath your
bump to lift the extra weight, relieve pelvic girdle pain and reduce
pressure on the lower back.
Maternity support itself consists of 3 parts (it looks complicated but very easy to use if you read instructions beforehand): Abdominal Support Pad (ASP), Back belt and Tummy strap.
Maternity support itself consists of 3 parts (it looks complicated but very easy to use if you read instructions beforehand): Abdominal Support Pad (ASP), Back belt and Tummy strap.
How
to put it on:
Firstly,
you would need to place ASP (consists of a a wide "wavy"
part and elastic thin strap) under your bump (if you feel that it is
uncomfortable you can lift the pad slightly) and wrap the strap
around your body by attaching it to the Velcro
part of the pad.
Secondly,
you would need to take the back belt (it is the widest part of the
support) and stretch it forward from your back to the front and
attach it to ASP (please note it suppose to feel comfortable and not
too tight).
And
lastly, for an extra support you can use the thinnest part of the
support- tummy strap, which goes over the top of your bump and
attaches to the Velcro "squares" on either sides of the
back belt.

Great review, i will definitely be looking at one of these next time round x
ReplyDeleteI used one of these too, and found that it really helped with my SPD. Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
ReplyDeleteHas it helped with your pain? I had SPD with the last 2 of my 3 pregnancies and I never want to feel that pain again!
ReplyDeleteIt is helping when I wear it while walking, standing mainly, I tend to take it off when sitting down though
ReplyDeleteThis looks great - SPD is horrendous so anything that helps. Hope it works for you!
ReplyDeleteI am so lucky that I never experienced SPD. I hope you are getting some relief
ReplyDeleteI still suffer with SPD 4 years on and i know how painful this condition is .. its great you can get some relief with it. ... do they do a non pregnancy one? x
ReplyDeleteOh no, I cant ask for you if you want)
DeleteI could have really used this with my last two pregnancies!
ReplyDeleteI don't recall seeing anything like this when I was pregnant
ReplyDeleteTwo of my friends used this in the later stages of their second pregnancy and said it worked a treat. I would consider it if I was expecting another. x
ReplyDeleteI've never heard or seen one of these before....It looks very helpful x
ReplyDeleteI had terrible spd with my last 3 pregnancies and ended up on crutches each time. I had a support belt as well but didn't get any relief from it. The belt you have seems so much better! I hope it helps x
ReplyDeleteI was so huge during my twins pregnancy I needed a support, until I became to big for it lol! But this one looks like a really good one x
ReplyDeleteI never had this in my pregnancy but know friends that did so it's wonderful you've written about it! x
ReplyDeleteI got spd when I was pregnant and have still got it now and Baby is 1. Great review x
ReplyDeleteGosh i so need this now! Im dying with spd x roll on labour :)
ReplyDeleteI had to use one of these in my 1st pregnancy and it really helped. I felt it took a lot of my pains away as it supported me a lot more than having nothing there.
ReplyDeleteDid it help?
ReplyDeleteMy friend might be in need of this if it is working
It is helping, I wear it when out and about but tend to take it off when sitting, but when walking didnt feel any pains so far
