Belly "belt" / support
Good Morning Ladies - I saw my Chiro last night regarding my leg issues. She thinks that it may be the way I am carrying this baby. SHe suggested I get one of those belly support belts that has the suspenders to get some of the weight off of my lower back - has anyone used one and/or can recommend one??
Thanks!
Thanks!

I wore one with my last pregnancy but it didn't have suspenders. I hated it. I waited tables back then and needed it because I was on my feet a lot. I can't say it did a whole lot of good and it wasn't comfortable. It was hot and the fabric was thick and heavy. Hated it.
I am currently wearing the one from Babies R Us that has three pieces- The traditional one that goes under the stomach, another one that wraps around the back and essentially helps to hike things up more, and a third piece which is for over the tummy when larger- I wear the two pieces right now, as you can choose what combination of support will work for you on that day: one, two, or all three pieces. It is a little bulky under clothes, but I find that it helps a lot! I am having twins and work on my feet all day, and have a lot of problems with vaginal swelling. This seems to help. Also, when I have to bend over, it really helps too. It was $29.99, but I really feel like it was a good thing to buy for me. That being said it is bulky, as mentioned before. I don't sweat or anything because I am also always cold. It really moves my baby bump up too- when I am wearing it I am carryng high, adn normally I am carrying low, which is what it is intended to do. Hope that helps- I recommend it!
