WONDAWEDGE: SUPPORT FOR PREGNANT BACKACHES

Back pillow during pregnancy

Pregnant women have a right to complain about their aching backs.  If you were carrying those additional pounds in front, you’d complain too!

There are many pregnancy pillows on the market, each designed for a different type of support for the pregnant woman.  The WondaWedge, developed by a physiotherapist for proper back support, allows the mother-to-be to set her own level of support by inflating or deflating.

The WondaWedge is a lightweight, inflatable triangular pillow with a permanently attached mat, offering three different sitting or reclining positions.  Made of ‘sueded’ vinyl, it’s easily hand washable, and stows away in a small space when not in use.  When deflated, the WondaWedge fits nicely into luggage for travel.

Whether relaxing in bed or on the couch, the WondaWedge provides a level of back support for pregnant women that bed pillows and formed foam pillows cannot match. As a sleep aid, the WondaWedge can be used in the reclining position – allowing better breathing, or reduction of acid reflux/heartburn – a common side effect of pregnancy.  Tucked into the small of the back, the WondaWedge can also be used for side-sleepers, to discourage sleeping on the back.

It’s also a great back support pillow for those women who breast feed in bed, perhaps while recuperating from a difficult delivery.

Surgery & Pregnancy Support

Breast Cancer- A Wondawedge is a wonderful product in helping reduce swelling and promote healing while recuperating from breast cancer or reconstructive surgery, following surgery it is recommended to recuperate and sleep in an elevated position. Many patients also place a Wondawedge pillow under their kness to prevent rolling over during the night. Being elevated may also help reduce nausea.
