I am 22 weeks along and am carring much diffenet than I did with my daughter. I am carring everything right up front; it is causing a lot of sciatic nerve pain and other pain in my hips and pelvic area. Any suggestions on a good support belt that I could wear all day to help relieve some of the pain.
I hated mine! It squished my belly fat up so that it looked like I had a big belly flop over it. Not attractive and not comfortable. I don't remember the brand, but it was one of the belts which velcro. I just looked at the Belly Bra on Amazon and it looks much better!
Check out my mamasource listing and raves, and my website, michellebrown.massagetherapy.com. I practice Maya Abdominal Massage and am located in Austin. The massage helps to place the uterus, which alleviates the sciatic pain, and also uses the traditional Mayan support belt, called a faja (pronounced fa-ha). It is the most comfortable support system - so say my clients! I'd love to talk and tell you more about it! call or email!! Oh yes, and the faja itself costs $5!

get a Belly Bra...they are way better than belts! Belts made me feel like I could not breathe but the Belly Bra gave me support without feeling like I was so constricted. You can find them online, I got mine at jcpenny.com. I've also heard the support belts that are built into maternity underwear are good too. My midwife suggested those to me but I could never bring myself to wear those huge "granny" panties lol. Good luck!

When I was pregnant, I wore one that my chiropractor sold me, but it was much like the ones I have since seen in JCPenney catalog. Hope you find what you need. I know they really helped me carry my second one. God Bless!!
I got mine from Motherhood which helped tremendously. In fact I think I still have it.
Pls let me know if your are interested.
Thanks
