  I bought the one at Motherhood Maternity and love it. But I don't find it embarrassing.......

  I ordered this one from Amazon.

  I honestly never thought I would need such a thing, so I kind of laughed off the idea. Haha, oh if only I knew. It has really helped with my lower back pain and some of the strain on my belly and hips. Little girl is riding REALLY low, so after being on my feet for a while it would get pretty painful.

  Tip: Wear it UNDER your pants panel. I didn't think about it until I was all comfy and strapped in and then I had to pee and take the whole thing off again, lol

  Will the belt put painful pressure on my pelvis?  I've been having soreness there as well as in the belly and lower back.  I work on my feet and hope that I have a good month left but baby belly is getting too heavy, I'm having a difficult time walking to my car after a shift.  I want to try the belt but I don't want to waste money since the point is that I need the money from work, KWIM?

  I got one from BRU. I've only worn it once, but it worked. I only need it if I'm going to be on my feet a lot.

  I have the Gabrialla support belt, and I wear it daily. It has helped with my back, my bladder, and my BH. I don't find it at all embarassing, because no one knows it is there!

  Is it scratchy?  Does it stay in place well?  I'm so nervous about making the purchase because it's not returnable, but this looks like the best option.

  I just bought one at baby's r us which is the store brand. It works amazing but I get too hot and clastrophobic in it and can only wear it for half hour at a time. Plus lo squirms like crazy when I have it on and I'm scared I'm crushing her, even if I loosen it. Back pain it is....

  Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

  My friend told me to get one that is completely adjustable with velcro because then you can wear it after baby to help shrink your hips and belly back down. Plus she said her belly was sore to the touch afterwards so the belt helped when she held the baby. I haven't been out looking, but figured I'd pass along her suggestion.
