Benefits

Ease Back Pain during pregnancy
The Bellysling is a maternity support garment designed to relieve back pain during pregnancy by supporting your baby and lifting the weight off the muscles that attach at the small of your back. It is the abdominal pull on these muscles during pregnancy that causes your back pain.

Pamper Pack included with every order
The bonus pamper pack that is included with our maternity support belt is unique. The Pamper Pack is a small hot/cold pack designed to fit into a special pocket in the back of the Bellysling maternity support. Exclusive to the Bellysling brand, this pack can be warmed briefly in the microwave or cooled in the freezer depending on your needs. Just pop it into the specially designed pocket and enjoy the comfort. Every mother-to-be should give herself this luxury.

Improve Posture and Balance
The firm back panel of the Bellysling maternity support garment acts as a comforting support to the small of your back. The lift and support provided by the Bellysling helps to center your body weight, as well as improving your posture and balance.

Avoid Varicose Veins
By lifting your baby off the groin area, the Bellysling maternity support reduces the pressure which contributes to the blockage of return circulation, the major cause of varicose veins. This same pressure can also lead to painful hemorrhoids.

Reduce Stretch Marks
The Bellysling reduces stretch marks by supporting your abdomen throughout pregnancy. Our maternity support also prevents muscles from tearing which can lead to hernias and possible surgery.

Lightweight and Comfortable
The Bellysling's light weight makes it comfortable for you to wear and the maternity garment is not visible through your clothing. Remove for part of the day to keep your muscles strong.

Wear after childbirth to help get your muscles back in shape.
Use the Bellysling for the few days after childbirth or until you feel comfortable during your day to day activities, then remove the maternity support to keep your muscles toned. The same muscles you are supporting are those you used to deliver your baby and must be kept strong. Regain your mobility and energy; continue your regular activities in comfort.

How did you come up with the idea for the Bellysling?
Before she retired, Jean MacDougall a registered nurse ran a retirement home where the cook was pregnant. "I worried about her falling when she bent over the stove or dishwasher," Jean said. The cook¹s grandmother remembered when she was a young woman living among hard working farm families, some pregnant women wore a device to support their wombs. "It bugged me. Where did that information get lost?" Jean thought. So she set about modernizing the idea and the Bellysling became a reality.
