Abstract
A device for providing natal support and alleviating pain in a pregnant woman includes a support member, an apron, and a strap, with the strap removably attached to the apron. The strap may be removed after installation and adjustment of the natal support on the pregnant woman. The natal support alleviates pain by providing support to the lower abdomen and distributing the weight of the fetus and enlarged uterus over a large portion of the lower back. Additionally, the strap facilitates installation and proper positioning of the natal support on the human body by holding the apron in place on the back while it is being adjusted.
