Maternity support belts

Anyone used one and find it to help?  Any recommendations on a brand?  I am 18 weeks with #3 and I am barely showing yet, but I have had pain issues that have been chalked up to muscle pain, but it's excruciating at times.  My ob told me that since this is my third it could be that the ligaments and muscles just need a little help supporting everything, and she said to try one out, it may help a lot.  Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions with them.

I have this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Babybellyband-Large-12-18-Pre-Prego-Waist/dp/B0024KN006/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1327368275&sr=8-2

There are additional shoulder bands (like suspender straps) available. I can't give much feedback yet since I just got it last week, but it feels fairly supportive as just the belt and I like the idea of adding the shoulder supports if needed.

I have the same one that ms_feb posted and I LOVED it with my 2nd pregnancy - I need to dig it out for this time, lol. Super supportive and comfortable...my doctor wrote me a script for mine and I was professionally fit at an orthopedic doctor's so I think a great fit makes a world of difference!

lol, that's what I read before.  I found that the Especially for Mom or whatever it was called that she liked the best isn't sold anymore but the same company makes the Babies r Us brand.  It looks the same to me and the reviews are just as good.

There's a good review (below) that gives a comparison between a few...I might try to get to a Babies R Us this week to see if I can comparison shop in person. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have been researching and I see a lot of good reviews on the Babies R Us brand.  Have you found anything different?

I found that my belly bands for my pants helped a lot.  I don't know about a specific support band tho.

Hope somebody has an answer to this one, because I've been told I should probably get one too and I've been searching, trying to figure it out.
