Specifically Designed To Support Your ‘Baby Carrying Pelvis’
Childbirth is an incredible, natural part of life, but it is not for the faint-hearted! Birth is a wonderful experience in a woman’s life but nothing can quite prepare you for the downsides that can occur, and the pain you may endure as your body shifts and changes to accommodate your growing baby and prepare you for birth.
Your internal organs and even your bones physically move to create room for your growing bundle of joy, and your ligaments and muscles that support your back and pelvis become looser, meaning you are far more vulnerable to the possibility of back and pelvic floor issues.
Thoughtfully Designed by Experts
SRC Health Pregnancy Mini Shorts have been expertly designed to support your pelvis while carrying your baby and reduce the stress placed on it through your pregnancy. This allows you to stay at work for longer, helps you get back on your feet, move around more easily and most importantly helps you get back to feeling like “you” again.
Extensive research has gone into creating the SRC Health Pregnancy Mini Shorts with input from leading obstetricians, gynaecologists, women’s health physiotherapists and midwives, to create a range of products that support your body and speed up your recovery after birth. The SRC Health Pregnancy Mini Shorts are endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association.
Patented Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) in the SRC Pregnancy Garments deliver targeted compression, ideal for treating multiple conditions like lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain and mild varicose veins as well as vulvar varicosities. They provide support to the pelvic area through gentle yet constant compression, activating muscles and encouraging core stability, reducing swelling and muscle fatigue.
Discreet and Comfortable
The garment has been designed to feel like a second skin. Made from the finest quality, breathable materials, you can comfortably wear the shorts under your clothing knowing they are discreet whilst also helping you recover day by day. Designed with anti-chafing fabric and in consultation with an obstetrician for the ultimate in comfort and functionality, SRC Recovery Shorts provide the support you need to heal and move more freely post-delivery.
What’s the difference between a belly band or belly wrap and the SRC Health Pregnancy Mini Shorts?
Unlike belly bands, SRC Health Pregnancy Mini Shorts can treat multiple conditions, are more comfortable to wear and are more likely to be worn for longer periods therefore increasing their effectiveness. Most pregnancy belly bands do not move with your body and can feel restrictive requiring constant adjustment when sitting down or getting up, as well as not always comfortable or flattering especially if you are wearing them under anything that is fitted or over your clothes. The SRC Health Pregnancy Mini Shorts are also your perfect sleeping companion - you will feel supported and stable as you sleep, waking up feeling refreshed.
Made from the highest quality materials, you can keep these shorts in your wardrobe for use after baby number 2, or 3 as well. They won’t lose their shape or efficacy after just one delivery recovery period; they are expertly built to last. They hold everything in place which also makes them perfect to wear for aesthetic reasons under fitted clothing!
Sizing
Please see sizing information below prior to purchasing your recovery shorts. We recommend you ask for assistance when taking your own measurements to ensure you purchase the correct size. Measure around the hips at their largest area. The tape should sit over the top part of the pubic bone and the biggest part of the bottom and should be touching all the way around but should not be tight.
