Girdles for Pregnant Women

There is plenty of advice out there for pregnant women. What to eat, what not to eat, what to wear and what not to, how to think, how to prepare themselves for what is going to come, how much water to drink, what position to sleep in, and so on. Separating from this muck of information all the reliable sources is a chore, almost as big a chore as finding yourself something to eat when you’re craving something else. Similarly, while girdles for pregnant women are available, different people have different views on whether or not they should be used at all. Most women in the Victorian era wore girdles even when they were pregnant. This is said to have had no consequences of the negative sort, but this is also partly due to the fact that most women shut themselves up in a room towards the time of the delivery, i.e. within the last few months. Experts say that wearing girdles for pregnant women is a bad idea when it comes to highly restrictive models, as this may impair the growth of the child. They are of the opinion that it is counterproductive to wear girdles in the last few months, but if worn in the initial stages, it is okay. Even then, only loose girdles must be chosen, i.e. the ones that provide the minimum amount of constriction.

Different people have equally different views on this. Consumers must thoroughly research these garments before choosing to buy them.
