PREGNANCY

Most ladies will experience hip, back, and sleep problems during pregnancy…

In many cases their existing bed/mattress will be contributing to the problem(s)

Most ladies will find sleeping on their side extremely difficult, as the weight of the baby will affect the pressure load to their hip; also the baby will ‘pull’ them into a ‘forward’ position.

The alternative is then to try and sleep in the ‘supine’ position (on the back) which then means that the full weight of the baby will be bearing down on the mum-to-be. Often, this can stimulate more visits to the bathroom…

With a Therapura mattress/overlay the sleeper will be able to sleep in the side position, allowing the baby to ‘mould’ into the mattress – many ladies comment that when the baby moves, they can feel the movement in the mattress! Importantly, the mum-to-be will achieve improved muscular recovery during sleep, and should also manage many more hours of undisturbed sleep.

Good, sustained, pelvic alignment is vital to ladies at this time, and the correct sleep surface can really contribute to achieving this.
