BTDT Moms: Support belt?

I am having terrible back pain.  I have herniated discs after my first pregnancy.  I have gone to every dr and therapy and all that in the past.  I am going to a neurologist again on Monday and my OB said i can do therapy/chiropractor and all that fun stuff.  I was wondering if anyone used a support belt during pregnancy.  If so did it help you and do you have any recommendations.  I did search around for this topic but didn't find any previous posts on here so if i missed it i am sorry.

Re: BTDT Moms: Support belt?

  • My DD's babysitter had to use one for her last two pregnancies. She said it was uncomfortable and aggravating but it worked wonders for her back. That's the only experience I have with it. I hope you find some relief!

  • I have one that I used 3rd tri with DD.  Right now I only wear it if I get a little carried away and start to have back pain in the evening.  I'll be wearing it a lot more once baby gets a little heavier.  Definitely helps.

  • I have no structural back problems, but my lower back muscles were really hurting by the end of a long day. At the advice of my midwife I bought the upsie belly from belly bandit. It is amazing!

  • I'm so glad to hear these things actually work. Praise God! I'm ordering one NOW!!!
  • I bought the belly bandit support band and it is AMAZING.
    It also flips to become a wrap after baby is here to get everything all in the right place again.
  • I like that can be used before and after
