Causes of Back Pain During Pregnancy
Pregnancy hormones cause the ligaments to ‘soften’ a bit. This makes the pelvic joints more mobile and creates more space for childbirth. However, the downside is that the back and pelvis become ‘less stable.’ This increases the risk of injury, which can lead to back pain and pelvic pain.
Additionally, the extra weight of the baby puts increasing strain on the body. All in all, this is a risky period for the back.
Why Is a Pregnancy Pillow Useful?
An (expectant) mother can take some important measures to get through this risky period without harm.
- Sleep with a Mikoala body pillow, which is excellent to use as a pregnancy pillow. Sleeping with the pillow prevents the back from twisting and reduces tension in the back. This also promotes back recovery.
- Give your body rest during the day as well, for example lying on the couch. Again, use a body pillow.
In the period after childbirth, the stability of the back and pelvis is not immediately restored. Therefore, it is advisable to continue sleeping with a pregnancy pillow for some time after delivery.
Pregnancy Pillow as a Nursing Pillow
The Mikoala Body Pillow can also be used as a handy aid for feeding your baby. Whether breastfeeding or bottle feeding: place the body pillow around you so that the baby is well supported.
