Doctors Visits
The usefulness of hook and loop straps begins early in a pregnancy, as a woman’s blood pressure must be tested on a regular basis to monitor her health. Beginning with monthly visits to her physician’s office and progressing to weekly checks, a blood pressure cuff is a one-size-fits-all piece of equipment that must be wrapped around the upper arm before it squeezes to determine the woman’s current pressure level. Securing the cuff around the exact size of the woman’s arm is the adjustable hook and loop fastener that makes this a quicker and easier process.Some pregnant women may find themselves undergoing non-stress tests of their babies’ health in the latter stages of pregnancy.
