Belly Support

I am looking for some really good support for this belly. I had an office visit today because of having lots of pelvic pressure. It's the damned round ligaments, they aren't getting enough support.
I have tried just the support belt that Motherhood sells and it just isn't enough. I'm ok when I wear tights to work since they support really well. I just need some kind of everyday support. Any tips?

 

A while back my doc gave me a prescription to get the Baby Hugger. Insurance does cover it. http://www.babyhugger.com/ I have found for me for it to be uncomfortable. I have not tried it on in a few weeks, but think I will again soon. Talk to your doc about it. He will know who in the area carries them. My doc I guess is really a big fan of them b/c when I went to go get mine, only one store in the state carries them(small state) the ladies working there all knew my doc and said he sends a lot of moms to be to get one, especially when carrying multiples.

in dr lukes book there is a website for a support band just for mutiples (because we get rather larger than singleton pregnancies) lol here it is www.prenatalcradle.com or they have a telephone num as well 800-607-3572 hope this helps!

 

i got the baby hugger. it looks like the prenatal cradle. I won't use anything else...

 

The cradle thing looks scary, is it just me?

I used a belly band, it worked great. It does make you feel like you have to pee all the time, though! GL!

 

I love the Prenatal Cradle - got it on drugstore.com for $35. I wear it all day, everyday and can't imagine life without it! I wear it over a tank, so it doesn't really touch my skin. The only thing is that it shows with most of my shirts, but most people are looking at my huge belly, not the strange white thing around my neck!

Good luck!

 

I used the one that Medela makes and I was not crazy about it. I felt like it brought on contractions.

 

I wish I had some great advice but the one that I bought from babies-r-us (the one from motherhood was too small by the time I needed it) was too bulky and I just couldn't conceal it under clothes and after a couple hours it hurt my sides. Hope you have some luck finding one.
