Abdominal Strain During Pregnancy
A dear friend of mine is six months pregnant with her second child. She is just beginning to feel the limitations that having a larger belly is putting on her daily activities. Last week she went to the store and tried to lift a 40 pound bag of dog food out of her trunk and strained a muscles in her abdomen.
After clucking at her for being so stubbornly independent, I suggested she use the services of bagboys and her husband from now on for lifting heavy stuff. I also told her about a belly harness that supports the belly and shifts some of the weight to her spine.
