belly bands/ support

[puddleduck27]

does anyone recommend any? and from what stage did you use them?

depends on what you are wanting it for, more for coverage of the bump or support due to hip/back/groin pains.

If just to help cover up then the mothercare or shop own ones are ok but they don't really do much in terms of support.

But if it's for actual support I use 2 types depending on how bad it is, general day to day niggles I have a large tubi-grip (you can get the easi-grip brand on amazon around 7, sizes J,K,L are for trunk size) and on bad days I also use one the physio advised from promedics (online store) they have a whole section on maternity supports think mine is a style C that are from about 30.

I have a Jojomamanbebe one which I use when I am exercising to support my bump - it pushes on my bladder a bit so I wouldn't wear it day to day but it helps for exercise...
