Not sure where to post this.. preggo belly support-any recommendations?

[gatorsmom]

I saw my OBGYN yesterday and complained to him that I'm feeling a lot of pressure in my pelvis and cervical area. He recommended that I try a belly support belt (because I'm getting VERY big). He mentioned 2 - Belly Hugger and Belly Cradle (I think those are the names).

Have any of you tried either of these? Did you like it? Did it help?

I don't know, but I wanted to recommend Japanese Weekend "OK" maternity pants. They have a supportive waist band in them that might help. :)

i used one. but i think it was medela maybe? i found that it did help me, but i am not sure it helps everyone.

if i can find mine, you can have it. i think it is a small or medium. i was a size 6 pre-preg and it fit well. email me.

Oh, you are so sweet, and I would email you if I thought that the belt would fit me. However, with this twins pregnancy, I've gone from wearing size medium maternity clothes to size XL in 3 months and I've gained 40 pounds in that time too. Yeah, I'm the size of a barn and believe it or not, I'm gaining the right amount of weight for this pregnancy (so I guess I should be proud of myself?)

But thank you so much for offering!!!

Maybe look at a prenatal cradle.

Hmm, I had a prenatal cradle and while this one looks like it, the prenatal cradle I had didn't have any hooks or velcro. I think the site was www.prenatalcradle.com and they were available at my local medical supply store as well as the other hospital in town. I think it was $40 and it was worth every penny!
