Pregnancy Bands / Secret Saviour Strechmarks

[chipsandcurrysaucemonster]

Hi, I'm 6 months pregnant now and have recently purchased the secret saviour anti stretch mark band. I've managed to wear it for one day only and am so far not too enthused. Does anyone else rate it or can recommend using / the benefits of a support band (without stretch mark prevention in mind)

I'm only just beginning to feel 'big' and uncomfortable and maybe don't quite realise the benefits of a support band - are they worth having?!

I don’t think anything can stop stretch marks; it’s genetic.

I’m pregnant and massive with SPD, but find bands so uncomfortable and itchy I can’t bear it.

@Whatalovelymug yes I bought it on a whim and instead am keen to hear more about the effects of a band - I too agree I just felt hot and constricted rather than supported! Hope you're not too uncomfortable!

This is pregnancy number 3, for the first one I tried all the remedies for stretch marks to no avail. Doctor said there was anything to be done, just to keep it moisturised.

The band can bring some relief, but anything tight on my stomach gives me terrible trapped wind. I just try to sit a lot!

I'm certainly keeping bio oil in business, my mum got them allll over during her pregnancies so I think I'm out of luck....I may try again with a support band as I get bigger but I'm not convinced I'm going to love them....
