I need some opinions on the belly band

[salina0408]

I'm 28 weeks with my second baby and I have the worst pressure all through my pelvic area and my vagina, it is so difficult to sleep, my midwife suggested the belly band, has anyone used it and does it work for this issue????

Mine helped a lot with my first pregnancy... im 26 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy and the only reason im not using it is because I cant find it... I know it's around the house somewhere... ill make that my mission this weekend..

I have one use it when I'm at work (I'm a radiology technologist) love it. Definitely helps with the pelvic pressure/pain. It does go around your back and your back supports the band. I have to loosen mine with sitting though,  it feels tight when sitting. Other than that I love it.

PS: I got mine from the motherhood store.

I just bought one and it is such a help! I was skeptical when I first bought it bc I didn't see how this band of elastic could possibly help but oh my goodness it's a life saver! I don't wear it at night just during the day but now I can sleep and roll over without whimpering out loud lol.

I have one! I Love it. I'm 30W and this is my 5th pregnancy and the only one that I have had so much pressure. I'm so miserable but I use it everyday.

I tried putting one on the other day,it definitely helped with the pelvic pressure/pain.
However, it does rely on using your back to hold the belly in the position when you're standing up, and I have scoliosis, so I was doomed before I even put it on.
