Pregnancy and Nursing Support Products

Motherhood.  It's one of the most beautiful and fulfilling aspects of what a woman can achieve in her lifetime.  And while pregnancy is miraculous, amazing and something to be grateful for, not all women have an easy time of it.  The female body goes through incredible changes of all kinds when it is pregnant and nursing, and even though these changes are temporary, they can still be hard to deal with at times.  Rehabmart can help the expecting or nursing mother to allay some of these 'side effects' of pregnancy with some helpful maternity products.

       The Maternity Support With or Without Insert is an extremely helpful pregnancy product that offers maximum support for any expecting mother.  This special support compresses the pelvic ring, helping to restore integrity and reduce pain and strain on muscles and ligaments by transferring the weight of the abdomen to the spine.  Pressure at the pelvis is reduced as this product lifts and supports the weight of your growing baby.  It also helps relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, and improves circulation in the legs.  This support is perfect for women who have pre-existing back conditions, strong pregnancy symptoms, including pregnancy-related back or leg pain, or who are carrying multiple babies.  This support also includes a heat-moldable, low temperature removable insert that provides additional support for the lower back.

       Another great maternity support product is the LegSpace Reusable Cushion. This pressure relief management solution is designed to fit comfortably between the lower legs, cushioning the ankles and knees with advanced pressure-reducing foam.  Featuring soft rounded edges, this high-density foam cushion renders comfortable support while providing optimal pressure redistribution.  It stays in place and is wide enough to easily accommodate repositioning of the feet and legs. This special high-density foam is hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial and latex free, while the skin-friendly, moisture proof cover helps reduce shear and friction.

       Once your baby arrives, nurse him in comfort and style with a latex-free Medline Patient Nursing Gowns.  Choices include an attractive floral print front-opening gown that provides full coverage for patient comfort, while the knot button at the V-neck opening ensures patient modesty, and a fashionable swirl print gown with a tie-side closure which provides complete coverage in the back. The front-opening gown also features ¾ inch sleeves, 52 inch length and a 75 inch sweep, and the back-opening gown features nursing slits, I.V. Sleeves, 49 inch length with a 71 inch sweep, and 7-1/2 inch sleeves. Both gowns are 100% cotton and one size fits most.  These are perfect gowns for the nursing mother in the hospital, or at home.

            Another very helpful product for the nursing mother on the go is the Purely Yours Professional Breast Pump with Carry All.  Now you can pump anywhere, anytime with this breast pump that can be run with an AC adapter, or AA batteries.  Features include adjustable suction and cycle settings that mimic your baby's nursing pattern, maximize breast milk production and enhance your personal comfort level. The HygieniKit allows for single or dual pumping and helps prevent contaminants from entering your milk with a unique closed milk collection solution.  The pump can be operated within the carry all tote bag for added privacy as well.  The Cool' N' Carry insulated tote bag features 3 cooling elements that will keep your breast milk cooled and safely stored for up to 10 hours.

Enjoy your pregnancy and enhance your maternity experience with some helpful products from Rehabmart.  This is one of the most beautiful and rewarding times of a woman's life and these products can certainly help alleviate some of the problems and issues that can sometimes occur in pregnancy and with nursing.
