Types of bandages
The bandages applied before childbirth can be divided into three main categories – prenatal belts, universal bandages and bandages shorts. Additional support of a stomach is especially necessary for women at polycarpous pregnancy and also at emergence of threat of the beginning of premature birth.
Bandages shorts are special devices which are resembled superficially by ordinary cowards with a wide belt. However at production of such underwear, elastic materials which stretch in process of growth of a fruit are used. It is possible to carry such bandages in the early stages of pregnancy. However, in the absence of deviations in development or the provision of a fruit the bandage is not an obligatory element. Most often it is recommended to use to women with bad physical training who begin to suffer from back pain already in the early stages of pregnancy.
The bandage belt can begin to be carried after three months of pregnancy, and closer by five months it, as a rule, experts insistently begin to recommend. Such bandage represents a wide strip of elastic material which is fixed from two parties by convenient velcros. He puts on over underwear, and has to settle down in the lower part of a stomach. It is strictly forbidden to pull together area around a navel in this case. The Dorodovy bandage with "hood" is a bandage belt with an additional tape of soft elastic material which covers the most part of a stomach. It is recommended to carry such devices in the second half of pregnancy up to 30 weeks.

The universal bandage can be carried since three months of pregnancy to late terms and also after the delivery. Externally it consists of two parts. One party in this case narrow, and the second – wide. In the early stages of pregnancy the bandage is dressed so that the wide strip was on a waist. From the second trimester the provision of a bandage is changed. The thin strip moves to a waist. After the delivery it is possible to select the most comfortable position of material independently.
Why to carry a bandage
During pregnancy the load of a backbone and a back increases several times. For this reason most of women feel discomfort or pain in a waist. A bandage, supporting a stomach, reduces this loading, thereby provides the maximum comfort at movement. The main distinctive feature of any bandage is a convenience of application. Thanks to special fasteners it is possible to control extent of support of a stomach, and elastic material provides comfortable feelings during its carrying. Pay attention that it is impossible to carry any bandage more than four hours. After this time the break is necessary. Besides, after 30 weeks of pregnancy before childbirth all bandages are extremely contraindicated.
