Mine was $15 when I bought it over a year ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-support-belt#post-2203363 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 18:36:55 +0000 MrsADS 2203363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh, thanks everyone. Good suggestions. I have had some preterm labor issues, so I don't know how much of my cramping/pressure is from my contractions, or from just general baby positioning. I think if it's more from the contractions, the support belt isn't going to help anything. Maybe if I can find a cheap one I will give it a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-support-belt#post-2203353 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 18:27:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2203353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! It made such a difference. I have chronic hip pain that's exacerbated during pregnancy. Some days I could barely walk. A belt helped SO much. I only wished I purchased one earlier.</p> <p>I used this one: It's You Babe Mini Cradle, Small (136-180 Pounds) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I615Q4/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_sy3Dvb0D92EST" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I615Q4/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_sy3Dvb0D92EST</a></p> <p>I know the Gabriella one is popular too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-support-belt#post-2203273 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:27:35 +0000 Shantuck 2203273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a maternity support belt when jogging during the second and third trimesters (so not exactly used for the same purpose). It felt like a sports bra for my tummy and gave me a little bit of a lift and kept things from moving around too much. It's not cheap but this is the one I had and I was pretty happy with it: <a href="http://www.mombodfitness.com/store/p3/Maternity_FITsplint%E2%84%A2.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mombodfitness.com/store/p3/Maternity_FITsplint%E2%84%A2.html</a>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-support-belt#post-2203230 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 15:36:39 +0000 travelgirl1 2203230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Madela one. Doesn't do much to be honest with you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-support-belt#post-2203222 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 15:31:00 +0000 autumnlove 2203222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one at BRU that works pretty well. It is BRU brand! I used it twice last week but I didn't use the top strap. </p> [attach=1791/15/npp2fb.600x573.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-support-belt#post-2203178 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 14:51:31 +0000 PurplePeony 2203178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used this one: <a href="http://www.motherhood.com/mobile/Product.asp?Product_Id=976100113&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC32" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/mobile/Product.asp?Product_Id=976100113&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC32</a><br /> I liked it but I had to take it off every few hours because I got sore from the pressure it put on the underside of my bump. When it was on, I had a lot of relief for my back but when I took it off, it was relief for my front! I do think it was worth getting, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-support-belt#post-2203176 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 14:46:47 +0000 Jone0603 2203176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in the same boat. It seemed to come on suddenly and I was miserable and completely in pain by the end of the day. I got this one. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009LA4VOG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1433878941&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=AC_SY200_QL40&#038;keywords=pregnancy+support+belt&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41XEX6%2BoKfL&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009LA4VOG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1433878941&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=AC_SY200_QL40&#038;keywords=pregnancy+support+belt&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41XEX6%2BoKfL&#038;ref=plSrch</a></p> <p>It has improved everything significantly and I feel like a normal person again. I also started doing some inversion yoga poses to help. While the belt isn't perfect it is a good price and it is doing the job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-support-belt#post-2203170 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 14:40:44 +0000 MrsADS 2203170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am having so much pelvic pressure/pain/cramping and some back pain at 29 wks. The baby is really low, his head is way down against my cervix. My OB recommended some kind of maternity support belt.</p> <p>I am a little overwhelmed from looking on Amazon! Some of them look like pretty intense contraptions. And some sort of look like they might not really do that much. </p> <p>Does anyone have any recommendations, or types that didn't work? Is the whole thing a waste of money or does it really help? </p>
