So much better than the alternatives...
I'm pregnant with twins and have been getting a lot of back pain and abdominal strain which I know will just keep getting more pronounced as I get bigger so I have been looking for a support garment. I borrowed one of the single-strap type supports you can get at Motherhood and I found that to be really uncomfortable - it was uncomfortable while I was sitting down, it didn't stay in place very well and rather than help with the pressure on my bladder, it made it feel worse. Clearly I needed something better.
I ordered this prenatal cradle and had a lot of relief immediately. It has seriously improved my lower and upper back pain and abdominal strain. I find it easier to lift and carry things and just getting up off the couch is easier.
The "adjustablility" of this model was one of the reasons I bought it and I have to say, its nothing to write home about (3 sets of hooks that are pretty widely spaced) but better than nothing. The company says this will fit 150 - 220 lbs. I am 156 lbs and found I have to wear it on the middle set of hooks to avoid uncomfortable compression but maybe thats just how I'm carrying.
All in all, I would say if you are getting big and don't have super-strong core muscles, this support can really help improve your pregnancy experience. I wish I hadn't waited to buy this - get it before you HAVE to have it and save yourself some pain.

Prenatal cradle
The small size indicates it fits up to 175 lbs however my daughter weighed 150 when we got this and it was too tight. I would opt for the next size because she is not able to wear it. She is due it January and by the time we return and receive another her pregnancy will be over. She still does not weigh 175 lbs.

good for comfort, bad for fashion
This is a good support garment, but I have to wear something under it so it doesn't dig into my skin. Also, the shoulder straps show with almost any shirt except crew neck. Basically I can't wear it to work with nice shirts, but I can put on a tank top, then the cradle, and then a T-shirt over it and it's great for running around on the weekends.
