Love yourself day 5 - Back up your back

Yesterday's reason for loving yourself in our Valentines campaign was to love your amazing body. But some parts of your body takes more strain that others. Today we're going to give Backs some love.

Day 5 - Back your back up
It's hard to love your body when it aches. In pregnancy - and often post birth - backache can be a major issue. Whether its general back pain or pelvic girdle pain, there are a bunch of things you can do to prevent or reduce it. You can find some great info here. But one way to ease the back strain is by using a support belt.

The Reenie Belt from Emma-Jane supports the abdomen while at the same time relieves pelvic pain and backache. You can also wear it post birth for lingering back ache. Nearly 1/4 million are sold worldwide every year to expectant mothers and as you can read here, they are a lifesaver to some mums.

So if you're having a hard time feeling loving towards your body because you're in too much pain, get yourself a little support. Then repeat after me: I am woman. I am strong. I deserve a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit.

Or if you fancy more chocolate than that, leave us a comment or like us on Facebook to be entered into our Valentine's draw to win the chocolates below.
