Maternity Support Belts

kabrissette · September 2013

Anyone using one and finding it helpful? Recommendations for brands that are moderately priced? Also... I've read that some of the belts will cut into you while sitting, so if anyone has a suggestion for one that doesn't do this, that would be great.

In the last two weeks or so I've started having some back pain and just generally feeling really heavy in front but I'm not sure if a support belt is worth the money or not. Thanks in advance!

I use the one from motherhood. It wasn't that expensive and it does help. It's not a miracle worker or anything, but I can definitely tell when I'm wearing it that I have more support.

So funny, I just put mine on. I got it off amazon for $15. It's called the mini cradle. It works for awhile, until it seems to get too tight. But I can wear it for hours. I'd recommend it.

I was just looking at that exact one, @Kaymee!

I have the mother-to-be. It's a bit of a pain to take on and off with the multiple pee trips but I'm a nurse and on my feet all day and it's really helped.

I decided to give the mini cradle a try since it seems to be the least bulky... we'll see how it goes!

I've got the mini cradle from Amazon, too, and I love it! It's small but does make a difference.

I couldn't commit to one so I use my bellaband when it RLP hurts, but my pain also hasn't been that bad. There were lots and lots of options on amazon with in depth reviews. This is one I was considering:

I have a FitSplint, and while I find it helps with the heaviness and soreness in front, it actually makes my back pain worse (I have a curvy back, so back pain hasn't been a major issue for me... yet). I think a lot depends on both the particular belt and your own anatomy.
