OK, I feel like it's crazy early to be asking this already, but my MFM suggested purchasing a pregnancy support belt. Which brand have you all used? Pros? Cons? Thanks in advance!

I love my Prenatal Cradle Best Cradle. It's the only thing getting me through these last few weeks of work!

I'm ready to give in and buy one too. Blah!

I tried a few different ones but they never worked right for me. It was ok if I was standing but as soon as I sat down I would have to take it off because it would dig into my stomach and it was too much work taking it on and off every time I wanted to sit.

I bought the Maternity Support Belt at BRU. I think it was like $30. I bought it sometime in my 20-ish weeks. My back pain was killing me. It sort of helped, but I think my body was just adjusting to the growing babies and their increasing movements, so not sure if anything could have helped. I still use it occasionally to support my ever-growing belly. I guess I would say it was worth it. I did wear it during a wedding that I was in, and that helped a lot. If you have back pain or are going to be on your feet a lot, I'd probably get one. It was a little difficult to figure out how to wear initially, but I finally figured it out. The instructions were not very clear on this particular brand (again, I think it was just the generic BRU brand of support belt that I found near the maternity clothes).
