Maternity Belt/Support Question

Mrs.AshAsh

So, I caved and got one last evening. I just needed it so bad! So, to those who have them or have used them, did you sleep in it as well or just use it during the day?

Just during the day to help my back with support. I could not imagine being constrained all the time.

where did you find one big enough?  My belly is measuring >40 weeks and I have 10lbs of baby so far with 5 weeks to go.  I really need one but am afraid if I buy one it won't fit!!

I got mine at Motherhood Maternity. They let me try it on and walk around the store with it on before I bought it. There is velcro on the sides that makes it adjustable. As soon as it went on I felt instant relief! Im 26w and measuring 78w ahead.

I couldn't find one that was comfortable.

I have three different ones. do not feel bad for caving.

I have one general low support one that I wear most days when I am just tooling around... its more elastic material than actual support. I wear it for non-bed sleeping, like when I want to sleep on the couch or chair.

I have medium support for days where I sit a lot and get really stiff

and my last one is max support for when I feel like I will be on my feet for 2+ hours at a time...  its wonderful

I'm a size 22/24 and I found ones both on amazon and Motherhood Maternity. since its under the belly its not too hard.

I only wore mine during the day. It was a huge help!

I bought one the other day too and it has been a saviour!! I wore it shopping to layby toys for Xmas and was shopping for about 3hours and my belly which is mainly that hurts was fine my legs and back were starting to ache by the end but usually my belly feels horrible after 30mins of standing.. I also ordered a xlarge and it has plenty of room for me to grow! I got mine from eBay and it was at my door in 2 days and only cost around 25!! Def reccomemd one for any preg mum!
