The protection straps are connected with the waist protection board and extend from two sides of the waist protection board respectively. Fastener members are disposed on inner faces of free ends of the protection straps. Fluffy tapes are disposed on outer faces of the free ends of the protection straps for the slings to stick thereon. The protection straps are wound over the waist of the pregnant woman from two sides of the waist protection board to the lower belly of the pregnant woman to connect with each other for providing a first support force.
- The waist protection board is attached to the back of the pregnant woman for supporting the back. The waist protection board includes a substrate enclosed in a fabric layer, several support members disposed on the substrate and several connection tapes disposed on the outer face of the substrate. The support members serve to support and shape the waist support board for supporting the lumbar. One end of the sling is fixedly connected with the connection tape and the other end of the sling is connected with the protection strap. For a later-stage pregnant woman, the sling is conducted through the armpit and wound over the shoulder to connect with the waist protection board on the opposite side for providing a second supportive force. The protection straps and the waist protection board are respectively positioned on the belly and the back of a pregnant woman to enhance the lower belly supporting/holding force and relieve the waist and back soreness. In addition, the slings are adjustable to adjust the position and tightness of the protection straps to a best state.
