ABSTRACT:
A pregnant woman's exercise garment has an integrated support structure for supporting the athletic mother-to-be safely and comfortably and for alleviating the discomfort associated with the physiological changes encountered during pregnancy. The garment includes uterine support panels that cradle the abdominal wall for alleviating downward pressure. The garment also has lower back support panels to protect the sacral and lower lumbar vertebrae of the spine, and inner thigh panels designed to ease the sometimes debilitating sciatica and groin pain. These pieces can be inserted separately or in combination in other athletic wear (i.e. running shorts, swim wear, tennis apparel, etc.) designed specifically for the athletic expectant mother. The garment may also be worn as an undergarment lending support to women whose work requires movement and/or standing for extended periods of time.
