Hi! My name is Emily and I'm a student at Georgia Tech. I am working on a project to redesign maternity braces and I had a few questions I was hoping to get an OBGYN to answer.

How often do you get patients who exhibit back/pelvic pain?
What is the malignancy that your patients struggle with?
Most common pregnancy related pain/discomfort?
Where is this pain targeted?
How severe is this pain?
What do you normally recommend to these patients to help alleviate this pain?
Do you believe that back braces have an impact on managing pelvic/lower back pain?
Do you get more positive or negative feedback with current back braces? What is the chief complaint about them?


Thank you so much for your time! I really appreciate it.
