I'm having really bad sciatica,pelvic pain and pain in the left hip and leg. A couple family members said that I should try one of the belts. Have you ladies ever used one and if so did it help and which ones are the best??

    I had to start going to a physical therapist for my pelvic pain and she made me get a belt. She said you really don't need anything too fancy. As long as it goes fully around your back and across the lowest part of your belly you should be good. I got mind from Motherhood Maternity and it was just a simply belt, not the thinner one that's like 3 inches though I got the thicker one that more like 5 inches wide and has velcro elastic strips on each side so you can tighten as needed.

    I have had pretty bad sciatica pain on my right going down my right leg during this pregnancy.  I was in PT for a while and was discharged.  I have this belt https://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=976100113&MasterCategory_Id=MC32 which works pretty well and helps a bit since I am on my feet most of the day. I know my OB office also has ones too if I needed, but they are not just a band like this one is.

    I use the gabrielle and it helps me a lot, it depends on how/why your back hurts but wearing it makes me feel like I am not even pregnant!  It also helps my posture which as been suffering since my chest doubled in size.  I also find stretching and walking through the pain improves it a lot.
