Hot Water Bottle Heat Therapy Suggested Uses

Use the hot water bottle to relieve and soothe pain during pregnancy.  As your baby grows ligaments and muscles move and stretch.  Often throughout pregnancy, pain occurs in the back, side, and lower belly.  Using a hot water bottle to soothe and warm the area of pain is recommended by doctors and physical therapists.

New moms-to-be look forward to having a baby and their pregnancy.  As the belly grows though, there is often unwelcome muscle pain in back and belly.  Ligaments begin to stretch causing discomfort in the lower back and side of the belly.  If pain is in the front it could be caused by the round ligaments stretching.  The round ligament attaches the uterus to the wall of the pelvis.  This can cause pain and discomfort and often what is referred to as ‘lightning crotch’, a sharp intense pain.   Because many drugs are not safe for pregnant women, some moms-to-be turn to alternative methods of pain relief. The hot water bottle treatment has a soothing and calm effect and is a great way to ease the pain.
