Prenatal Cradle

Prenatal cradles support the weight of pregnancy quite similar to the way a woman would clasp her hands under her abdomen. This is done without any harm to the child. Another advantage of the prenatal cradle is that it allows free movement of the arms and lower body that is beneficial during the third trimester. Prenatal cradles also provide orthotic support against back and abdominal strains as well as reducing and relieving pain from pubic symphysis. 

Here are some of the features of the prenatal cradle.

• Recommended by doctors.
• A patented design that supports the back and abdomen.
• Helps to improve posture without any discomfort.
• Can be used with lingerie.
• Designed around the natural posture of a childbearing woman.
• Can be adjusted through normal clothing.
• Can be washed at home.
• No need to remove it for toilet purposes.
• Insurance claim or medical tax credit can be applied for.
• Available in many sizes.

Other benefits of the prenatal cradle for orthotic support are for people who have the following symptoms.

• Abdominal strain.
• Back pain.
• Hip separation.
• Pubic symphysis.
• Sciatica.
• Lordosis.

The prenatal cradle is designed around the natural posture of a childbearing woman. It provides support against the weight of pregnancy just like a woman would clasp her hands under the abdomen. The prenatal cradle is open for good air circulation and is comfortable for both mother and child. 

The prenatal cradle helps a woman to maintain a better posture and reduce the risk of lordosis. Pregnancy often results in back pain when the growing uterus pulls on the back, creating tension. Those women who have had some prior back injury must consult that doctor before wearing any device for back support. The prenatal cradle has a good orthotic support that is especially engineered around the shoulders and prevents lordosis. Here are some of the details of the prenatal cradle design.

• The sewn pattern between the breasts at the baby label.
• Side expanders that pull the front bands away to form the open abdominal area.
• Torso bands that provide lift to the front and the back of the supportive band.
• The lower-womb band that supports the growing abdomen around the hips and that meets the other bands in the back.

The best part about the prenatal cradle is its comfort. Women tend to even forget that they have it on at all. In case you push down on the various supportive bands there is hardly any noticeable increase in the tension at the shoulder level. In case you do feel any discomfort around the shoulders then it simply means that your prenatal cradle is not the right size for you. 

There are many insurance companies that now consider the prenatal cradle as a necessity. These companies are now covering this as a medical expense. You must check with the pharmacy as well as with your insurance provider to find out if and how far your insurance plan is designed to cover this cost. Remember that in order to get reimbursed you will need a doctor's prescription and a sales receipt.
