What are Hilary Erickson's recommended tools for managing pregnancy discomforts?

Based on the content I found, Hilary Erickson recommends several tools and hacks to manage discomfort during pregnancy. Here are a few:

• Elastic to Expand Existing Pants: Use a hair tie or an elastic to wrap between your button hole and your button to give you a few more days of wearing them. This is especially helpful in early pregnancy.

• Balance Carbs & Proteins: Balancing your carbs and proteins during pregnancy can make you feel better. Every meal should have a small amount of carbs balanced with protein.

• Stretching: Your muscles are going to be used in new and different ways during pregnancy, so make sure to give them some time to stretch out.

• Belly Band/ SI Belt: A belly band can be amazing. There are two types of bands. One is worn under your belly, and is meant more to support your core and ligaments as the belly grows. The other one is worn over your hips and helps any pelvic issues, and is called an SI belt.

• Kinesiology Tape: This tape goes on your abdomen and helps support your belly.

Remember, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before trying any new strategies. Would you like more tips or information on a specific topic?
