Back-saving belt!
I am a physical therapist. When I got pregnant, I was concerned about my back and how it would hold up during the pregnancy. With the hormone relaxin that is released with pregnancy, our joints loosen up and can't support as much as they do in a non-pregnant state. This is especially notable at the sacroiliac (SI) joint of our low backs. Instability of this joint (there's one on each side) can lead to pain.
At about 18 weeks I started having some SI pain. I got one of these belts and had relief within 24 hours. For about 2 months I wore it every day to support my SI joints. I found that if I attached the velcro strap in the front securely, but not tight, then used the two side straps to tighten up the whole belt, I would get the best relief. I had to be certain the two side straps were even: the seam where they meet in the back was in the CENTER of my back. I would then pull them around at the same time and attach them so that the fit was snug, but not uncomfortable. After a couple of months, the baby started getting so big that I started wearing it more as a support for my belly. As I've gotten bigger and bigger, I've pulled the back part upward slightly, which continues to provide SI support but also helps hold up the baby. When I take the belt off I REALLY notice the difference. The support is amazing for such a simple belt (wish I had the patent!)
I'm due in a month. I have had NO back pain since before I used the belt and I continue to work and exercise without problems.
Awesome belt especially for people with a short midriff
My first pregnancy I tried several styles of belts, most of which had a wide band in back. I am short, have a short midriff, and am overweight, so wider belts would roll from the top down. I never had that problem with this belt. Unfortunately, this pregnancy I am entering my 3rd trimester and have finally out grown the 1X belt, and the store I purchased it from is now closed. I was thrilled when I found this on Amazon.com in a larger size.
I recommend making it little snug in the mornings and then loosening it throughout the day as needed. The most appealing feature for me is that this band is completely adjustable to give you the support you need for the different activities you will be doing throughout the day. Any time you start needing the extra support, just slightly tighten the side straps. When you start relaxing or if the belt starts feeling a little tight, just loosen it up a bit. It's quick and easy to work with, and if one side needs more support than the other, just make that one side a bit more snug. It's AWESOME!
I am a technology education specialist, so I'm on my feet for, many times, 16 hrs a day training and supporting hospitals with their new computer programs. I couldn't have survived even my First Trimester without this belt. I raise it a little higher in the back so that I have complete lower back support and belly support. There were days when I forgot to wear my belt that I almost couldn't walk after only 4 hrs of work due to lower back pain that would eventually extend down to my fanny and legs. My legs would litterally give out from underneath me until I could rub and relax my lower back for a while. When you are working with doctors in the surgery room or doing rounds with them this is NOT a good thing. As long as I wore my belt, I NEVER had a problem.
I strongly recommend this product!
Terrible!
I bought this from Motherhood and hated it!!! It is too narrow and so puts a lot of pressure on your hips and pelvic bones, which any pregnant lady knows- our bones are already moving and don't need more help!! The mother ez belt was fabulous though!! I wore it for the last 4 months!!! Forget about this one though!!!!
