Anyone use a support belt

Like this during pg?

It was recommended for my hip problem. Just curious if anyone had a specific one they liked.

    I haven't but I am considering it. I am getting such bad pelvic pressure/pain at this point that its getting ridiculous. My midwife said it was basically just that since I have already had a baby all the muscles there are already stretched out and they're just not going to be as tight as before so I will feel this much earlier. But I swear to you, some days it feels like she is going to fall right on out of there. Add to that that my back already hurts and I've only put on about 15 lbs and have almost no belly to show for it and I can't think of what else to do...

    I have the Motherhood one and I never got it to sit right.  It always dug into me anytime I sat down.  And walking around with it wasn't the most comfortable so the Chiro visits have been most beneficial for me.

    Is that the one you used? Just wondering if I should get one that straps over the belly too to hold it in place.

    That's what I'm afraid of. Did it have a part that comes over the top of your belly to keep it in place or was that not the problem?

    I have the original prenatal cradle and it was awesome in my second tri when I had back pain.  It got a bit tight and was restricting the baby's movement a few weeks ago so I stopped wearing it and my back has felt better anyway.  I highly recommend it, so comfortable, and my insurance company paid for it because I got a prescription from the doctor.  I admit I totally resisted it at first, but it made a world of difference.
