Maternity Running Belts

Any runners out there who have found a helpful maternity support belt for running? I'm only 15w3d, but I can't make it through a 4 mile run without having to make a pit stop! If anyone has found anything that helps with this, I would love the advice!

Didn’t know those existed,

Yes! I ran my first pregnancy up until my due date with this belt:
 GABRIALLA Elastic Maternity Belt,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ZKE4AM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It was four year ago and I plan on buying it again (I let someone else borrow it and never got it back).

Great tip!  I would love to keep up my running!  I’m already feeling so slow these days and get some back pain afterward

I wonder if I can use it to go skating, I’m only 15 weeks and not showing to much but I hate just using  recumbent bike, elliptical, and treadmill. I hate being stationary but I also hate running or jogging

Like roller or inline skating? Not that these would be an absolute contraindication; but generally, providers discourage activities where you are at higher risk for falling onto your abdomen because it can cause placental abruption. 

Of course - it could just be me with my balance (or lack there of) skills. 🤦‍♀️

Oh I play roller hockey….well played so my balance is pretty damn good even at high speeds but like I am still super uncomfortable with my body right now
