Belly belt or full tummy one?

in September 2015 Moms
OK I'm 23 weeks with my second and already having pretty good hip pain which comes from working in retail and being on my feet a good bit and running after a 2 year old when I'm not working. I keep reading and hearing talks about the support bands. Which did you guys like better? I'm leaving toward the belt because I'm worried the full belly one is going to be too hot. Thoughts?

    I got the band about a week ago and have no regrets.

    I got the belly belt and didn't mind it at first but it was actually starting to make my back hurt. My OB said that happens sometimes and suggested I get the 'maternity spanx'. They offer more support and compression. It does feel a lot like wearing an extra layer though so I've started wearing my skirts, shorts and dresses to keep cool.

    @jlcouey that's a worry I had about the belt. I have scoliosis so my back can ache quicker and I was afraid the belt wouldn't help as much.

    The spanx help. I've pretty much chalked it all up to dealing with the pain and pressure until baby comes...you can adjust the belt and everything but it just didn't do it for me. I hope you find some relief!!

    I got the full back one, kind of like a weight belt. I'm waiting for it to come in, but my doctor told me she used it for her pregnancy, and she loved it. It was a little over 20 dollars on amazon.

    ETA: it should be here tomorrow, and I work in retail as well, managing a stockroom so I'll update you, and let you know if it helps at all ;)

    I got a Boppy brand support belt at Babies R Us last week that has an insert to put a hot/cold pack in it and it has been amazing!!
