Maternity Support Belts?

Does anyone have any experience with maternity support belts? My job is active and there are times my belly just feels heavy and saggy, esp towards the end of the day. I figure it's only going to get worse...any experience with these or words of advice?

Re: Maternity Support Belts?

  • I use one nearly every day because of the weight of the twins. It helps tremendously. My back feels better and so does my vagina. The pressure makes me feel like I've been kicked in the crotch.

    Mine has three parts. One that goes under my belly, another that wraps around my back and velcro's to the part around my belly, then a third that straps on the top of my stomach.

    The back part is very wide and I think it helps. Definitely try it, especially if you're on your feet a lot.

  • I wear a Blanqi tank, but it's only moderate support.

  • I bought a three piece belt style one, which sounds similar to the one described above. It has helped a lot! They aren't cheap, but I think it's made a big difference when I'm on my feet for 4 or more hours at a time. And I'm only 21 weeks, so this belly is only getting bigger!!

  • I have one that just goes under my belly- it seems like the less extreme version of the one described above.  I like it when I am going to be spending a lot of time on my feet.... but when I am doing a lot of sitting and then standing it gets a little uncomfortable.

  • I teach dance, so I'm not only on my feet, but also moving all day. I'm not having any difficulty (yet), I just feel heavy and unsupported at the end of the day. I definitely think it's worth picking up one, based on your experiences. Thanks, ladies!
