How to Wear a Maternity Belt
Maternity belts help to support the expanding belly during pregnancy. Back pain is a common problem that most expecting mothers experience. Wearing a maternity belt can help to relieve some of the fatigue that occurs as the pregnancy progresses. These basic steps will teach you how to wear your maternity belt effectively.
Put on the abdominal support pad if required for your specific maternity belt. The abdominal support pad should be placed in a lifting position under your abdomen. Wrap the strap around you and fasten it at the side with the Velcro hook.
Hold both ends of the maternity belt with both hands. Put it on top of the abdominal support pad and gently stretch both ends towards the front.
Attach both ends of the maternity belt in the front and slightly under the abdomen. The belt should fit snugly and comfortably.
Wear a tummy strap for extra security. The tummy strap is optional, but some women prefer wearing them with the maternity belt. Stretch the tummy strap over the top of your tummy and attach it to the Velcro on both sides of the maternity belt.
