Painful bump when walking

6 replies

I’m only 26 weeks and my bump is so painful when I walk, even just small distances. This is baby #2 so luckily I’m a SAHM so I can choose my own activity levels but even a short walk to Tesco is agony. Has anyone bought one of those bump support bands they can recommend?

Thank you Smile

Congrats Flowers I found a big tubigrip helpful, it was given to me by physio, perhaps ask your midwife about getting one? You could order from the internet I imagine but not sure about sizes! It made me feel much more supported and although still sore it definitely helped. Good luck!

Get a belly band support. I have been wearing mine daily since 23 weeks (almost 28 now). And if you can see a chiropractor. They can do a mild manipulation: re-adjustment which can really help.

Plain tubigrip from Physio should be good your midwife should refer you to women's health Physio.

I got this one and a now a tubigrip from physio. Only bought it because I am a I want now type person and didn't want to wait for the physio. www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/maternity-belly-support-bands-b4732.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2aL3qaDm2AIV5r3tCh1hPAszEAQYASABEgJq5vD_BwE

Great, thank you. I bought a similar one today from Mothercare so hopefully I’ll have some luck!
