Maternity

During pregnancy, many hormonal changes occur in a woman’s body. These hormonal changes can have profound effects on the veins, particularly as they cause the volume of blood to increase to nurture the developing baby. Greater amounts of blood can stretch the vein and damage the vein valves. This can cause a number of venous and circulatory problems.

These include:

  • Swollen ankles
  • Tired aching legs
  • Spider veins
  • Varicose veins

As the baby grows, the enlarged uterus applies direct pressure on the pelvic veins which returns blood flow to the heart. Thispressure can cause back flow and valve damage which resultsin swelling, leg discomfort, severe varicose veins, and blood clots. Gradient compression reduces swelling and helps keep blood from pooling in the veins of your legs. It does this by delivering the most compression (or squeeze) at the ankle while gently decreasing the compression up the leg. This action helps your veins move the blood efficiently back to your heart. In so doing, you will find relief from ankle swelling and leg discomfort (tired, aching legs).

[threecol_one]Lil'Lift®[/threecol_one] [threecol_two_last]

Lil’Lift®

Lil’Lift® is perfect for the woman who wants smart support but doesn’t want all the lift a BabyHugger® provides. (Lil’Lift® provides about a third of BabyHugger’s® lift.) Some women wear a Lil’Lift® early and a BabyHugger® later as their belly gets bigger and heavier.

Our unique latex-free elastic has lots of lifting power AND very soft edges for pure comfort. Lil’Lift’s® simplicity is refreshing with only one simple fastening. There are no other straps, hooks, buckles or adjustments. Put it around your belly, fasten it and you’re done.

Lil’ Lift’s® 3 inch width is perfect to lift your belly – it won’t dig into your groin or fold over as wider belts tend to do. Lil’Lift® will stay flat and comfortable – exactly where you put it!

After delivery Lil’Lift® will help support and reshape your recovering tummy.
