Pregnancy belts? (Not post preg)

mrsB68 · February 2014

Anyone else currently using a belly belt to alleviate back pain or the extra weight?

My dr didn't recommend it for my back pain but I'm interested in them as the pulling weight is only going to get worse.

Any recommendations (for or against) are welcome!

I was thinking of getting one since the belly is starting to feel heavy when I walk.

I'm considering one, since I heard it can decrease the # of Braxton Hicks (and make you more comfortable).

Still haven't fully decided yet...

I just bought one the other day at my dr. appointment, I think the brand I have is cradle baby but I'm not sure.. I love it! I was feeling pressure from the extra weight before I started wearing it and now I feel so much better.

I've been wearing a back brace/support Belt for a while. Physical therapy told me it would help with my sciatica. It's so bad now, if I forget to wear it to the grocery store.... I won't make it all the way through shopping.

I got this one from Motherhood Maternity, and it's pretty good. It's helped my sciatica a lot, and has helped with pelvic pain. The only problem is that to get the right amount of back and hip support it has to be fairly snug, and it fastens right overtop of where my bladder is, so when I wear it I always feel like I have to pee.

I got this one at motherhood maternity and could instantly tell a difference with my back pain.

I have the BRU one and it helps a ton with back pain. I can definitely tell the difference on days I don't wear it

Thanks ladies! I think I may order one tonight!

I got one from bru yesterday and wore it today at work. I'm not sure it helped. In a way I think it bothered me. I played around with the tightness thinking maybe it was on too tight. I was able to forget about it most of the day but in the afternoon I found myself having a lot of cramps(as usual by that time of day) and I ripped it off. My belly suddenly felt much heavier so I noticed that the belt had been holding some weight. I will try again but so far I am having trouble telling if it is working. I hope you can find one that works for you!
