Running Belly Band?

Any runner MTBs out there that have been wearing a belly band for running? I've been running about 5 miles, 3x per week and until this past Sunday felt great. On my last attempt to run, however, my stomach felt so heavy and the pressure made me feel like I had to pee so badly. 

 Any recommendations on a belly band or anything else I can do for support would be greatly appreciated. I really want to be able to run through this pregnancy!

    I haven't tried it yet myself, but I have see the Gabrialla belly support band recommended many times on this and other boards. Mine just arrived today. I'll be using it to see if it eases my BH following my longer runs. I hope that helps!

    I look forward to hearing your review on the band. I'm not to the point if needing one yet but I feel it will be coming soon.

    I tried the Gabriella band when pregnant.  It helped a little with the pressure on my bladder, but I still got cramping at about the beginning of my third trimester and I had to give up running.  It's worth a try to use it.

    I loved my Medela support band! It kept me running all the way to six days before delivery.
