Dream Belt - Has anyone used one? Does it help with hip pain?!

[FingersCrossedForAllOfUs]

Hello,

I wondered if anyone has tried one of these dream belt memory foam pregnancy belts? (Attached pic) I’m finding it very uncomfortable already sleeping on my sides, I’m almost 20 weeks so it looks like the hip pain will only get worse! 😢
Looking at the video for this belt it doesn’t seem like the memory foam part actually sits over the hips which is where I really need the padding. I think it is more geared towards supporting the bump.

I’ve already got 2 single duvets on my side of the bed to lie on but they are not really helping. I’m not sure about memory foam toppers and whether they would help, they seem to get mixed reviews. That’s why I ended up thinking of trying some kind of padded belt around my actual hips!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you 😊

Do you wear support during the day? I found that when I wore a pregnancy belt during the day, it then aided me to sleep better at night. I've put the one I use below, my friend originally recommended it to me. X

@cat709 - Thank you so much for your reply, I will have a look at this. I haven’t been wearing a belt in the day but that does make sense. Thanks again.

I’m still struggling to find any kind of belt or band that is targeted around the hip area. All the ones I have looked at are focused on the bump which is understandable but I don’t need bump support yet! My hips are getting so uncomfortable it stops me sleeping for long 😢

Has anyone found an actual hip support belt with some kind of memory foam or something that helps to take the pressure off when sleeping on your sides?

Hi there,

I saw a post on here where Plymouth University are looking for people with pelvic pain for a new research study; may be worth looking at:
