Prenatal cradle

A prenatal cradle for supporting forward weight of pregnancy in a pregnant woman's uterus by redistributing around the hips and shoulders downward and forward pressures exerted by the baby and relieving strain on the woman's lower back, abdomen, and groin area, the prenatal cradle comprising:

• a womb band for supporting the uterus, the womb band having:
• a front portion which is positioned so as to allow unlimited growth of the uterus, and
• an elongate rear portion, including a center section, the womb band encircling the woman below the uterus and extending upwardly over the hips and the lower back to provide support which is distributed across the uterus and lower back when the woman is standing or ambulatory;
• a pair of torso bands for redistributing uterine weight across the torso, each band having:
• an elongate front portion including a lower end and an upper end, the lower end of the front portion being secured to the womb band proximate the associated hip, the front portion of each torso band being affixed to each other at the intersection thereof between the woman's breasts and extending diagonally and crossing between the breasts to distribute uterine weight without interfering with the breasts,
• an elongate shoulder portion, including a front section and a back section, the front section being connected to the upper end of the front portion of the associated torso band, and
• an elongate back portion including an upper section and a lower section, the upper section of the back portion being connected to the back section of the associated shoulder portion;
• a pair of side members to distribute the uterine weight around the trunk of the woman, the lower section of each elongate back portion being secured to a rearward end of an associated side member spaced apart from the center section of the rear portion of the womb band, the side members separating the torso bands and exposing the abdomen to avoid an inward movement of each torso band toward the neck of the wearer;
• a forward end secured to the lower end of the front portion of the associated torso band, and
• a rearward end secured to the center section of the rear portion of the womb band to help relieve back pain and to encourage correct posture, allowing free movement of the arms and legs.
