4. Lumbosacral Support Belts
Our Favorite belts [ linked ]:
Lumbosacral support belts help provide support to the pelvis + low back during pregnancy! As Dr. Kayla demos above-- belts are really simple to wear. You can start wearing one at the beginning of your 2nd trimester. Typically we recommend wearing this with any activity or lifting-- including long walks + hikes + bending / twisting movements. Avoid using when you are sitting or lying.
5. Exercise Ball
Every pregnant woman gets this product recommendation from us! Exercise balls can be used in a variety of ways including some of our favorite stretching techniques. Most commonly it's used as an alternative to a desk chair or couch so pregnant women can sit without pain. Using a ball allows for more mobility in the pelvis so you aren't left with a stiff achy feeling! [BONUS: your babe will love it for tummy time]. Our pick: URBNFit Exercise ball
6. Boppy
A "boppy" is a wildly common U-shaped pillow. It is loved by so many pregnant women since they can use it throughout pregnancy + postpartum. One of our favorite boppy hacks? Use it as a sleep aid like Dr. Jesse shows below! After pregnancy, this pillow can be used during nursing, feeding, tummy time + even to support sitting up. Here's a link : Boppy Original Nursing Pillow
7. Epsom Salt
Your body goes through such dramatic changes during pregnancy, both physical and hormonal. With that comes muscle soreness. Addressing these pains in the clinic is our profession, but at home care is essential to any treatment's success. Epsom salt is a great, affordable way to adjunct your care with it's ability to target inflammation. BONUS: it gives momma an excuse to relax in the bath a few times a week. Link :: Epsom Salt
