Did using a support belt while being pregnant really help?

I wait tables and started wearing one. It worked miracles on my back. It took off an amazing amount of pressure from my lower back. I dont wear my maternity pants over my tummy either I roll them down but it doesnt seem to bother me much. I recommend wearing a tank top or something underneath though cause they tend to be kind of itchy. When are you due?

I know this conversation was a year ago. I now have one of these belts. I got mine yesterday. Thanks for posting this. I found it useful. The belt is starting to help me and I have noticed a difference.

Ya, my doctor also recommend that I wear the support belt because my back hurt a lot when I'm 4 months pregnant. He said many patient find it really useful. But after a few days my back pain gone already, so I forgotten all about it until I saw your discussion. I'm now almost 6 months pregnant and now my legs are so painful and very weak because my baby is too heavy. I was only 45 kgs before pregnant and now I'm 54.5 kgs. I usually wear the low waist maternity pants or dress. I also don't like anything tight on my stomach. Where do you intend to deliver the baby? I went to see both government doctor and private doctor. So I have the option to deliver at either place. Do you know that government send their nurse to visit you at your home during your confinement if you are their patient. They did that to my 1st child last year. This is my second baby, both boys.

I got a pregnancy support belt because I had very bad back pain the whole when I got bigger it got worse.Sometimes I could not stand up it was so bad.I found no help I used the belly belt(or a name something like that).I hope you find something that works for you.

I've also heard that those belts help alot! I'm begining my 4th month right now and was wondering the same about those things! I'm definitely going to get one when I get bigger!
