Pregnancy is a very important and cherished stage in any woman's life.
However, the process can completely drain the mother physically and emotionally.
There is immense pressure on the body to accommodate a growing fetus.
The blood volume doubles.
There is more than ten percent increase in body weight.
The weight of the growing fetus exerts a lot of pressure on the pelvic bones, the backbones and legs.
There are numerous methods to decrease the amount of pain experienced on the neck, back, shoulders, hands, etc.
Mild exercising is always recommended to keep the bones flexible.
Heating pads are becoming a rage these days among pregnant women.
It is very important to use these electrical devices in the right way to prevent any type of fetal or pregnancy related complications.
A doctor's approval is mandatory while using these pads.
They emit electromagnetic radiations and should therefore never be placed on or around the fetus.
Avoid pelvic, stomach and abdominal regions.
Groin pain is natural but should not be treated using electric pads.
The pain will subside soon after pregnancy.
Fetus exerts immense pressure on the sciatic nerve found on the spine causing back pain.
You can place a pillow in between the pads and your back.
This will lead to uniform spreading of heat through the pillow to your back.
You can place these pads, on your shoulder, ankles, feet and thighs.
Adjust the temperature according to your convenience.
Take adequate rest to prevent your body from over straining.
This is one of the best ways to tackle pain and discomfort associated with pregnancy.
