Summary: a huge help
Comment: I am very far from my girlfriend and thus unable to help with many basic chores.. this belt has proven very useful in supporting her back in long walks and random tasks of cleaning, rearranging, and just her general mobility around the house and abroad. I'm sure she could make a much better review than I could, but, for me, it's enough to say that she hasn't been complaining of back troubles nearly as much (if at all) since receiving this product.

Summary: A Godsend!
Comment: I have to start off by saying that I got the X-Large belt, and I wish I had gone a size smaller. Even with measuring at 42 weeks, it's still *almost* too big for me, and I'm a decently large lady! I normally wear a size 22.
I'm 36 weeks, and measuring at 42 weeks because of polyhydramnios. My baby is also posterior at this point. Because of these things, my belly is very, VERY big and heavy. My midwife suggested I get a support belt to help with turning the baby. I was skeptical at first...I'd had a belt with my last pregnancy and all it did was dig into my belly and hurt. I also used a Medela belt for about two weeks with this one. Same thing, and it would not stay in one place. She suggested I look up this one, and I'm really glad I went ahead and got it! I've been using it for about three weeks now.
Some things I love about this belt:
-It really stays put! The edges don't even curl.
-The belt is wide enough that it doesn't cut into my belly.
-It has really helped with my posture!
-The decrease in pain in my back, and even my lower belly, is phenomenal.
I just wish I'd bought the size smaller, because I can't even use the "upper belly" strap with this one. It's way too big. The benefits I *do* get are well worth it, though.

Summary: Lifesaver!
Comment: I bought this based upon the other reviews I read and it has truly been a lifesaver. At only 18 weeks pregnant I was to the point where my sciatic pain was debilitating. I couldn't even go to the store and I'd have to come home straight from work and lie down the rest of the night. This belt has given me my life back. The pain is so much less than it used to be and I can walk and move around throughout the day ten times better than before. The material has not been irritating to me at all (and my skin is sensitive) and I don't have to re-adjust the belt multiple times during the day, which I was afraid of. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is having lower back pain or sciatic nerve pain.

Summary: works well but...
Comment: This belly belt does work but the only problem I had with it is when I fasten it under my belly it puts more pressure on my bladder and that's the last thing I needed. 4 out of 5 stars from me.....I can only handle wearing this for short periods at a time.

Summary: wonderful
Comment: Very helpful. I work long hrs and I wouldn't be able to do it without the support belt

This special support belt is made specifically for expectant moms to help provide relief for strained muscles and ligaments. It effectively transfers the weight of the abdomen to the spine, where your body is better able to handle the weight. Elastic construction helps relieve pressure on the pelvis while supporting the abdomen. The soft, comfortable, hook-and-loop front pad provides additional lift. The reinforced, crisscross design effectively aids shoulder posture restoring appearance and reducing back strain. Velcro adjustments ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Size according to pre-pregnancy dress size: Small (3-8), Medium (9-14), Large (15-18), X-Large (19+). Inserts can be purchased to enhance the Mother-To-Be support belt.
