Bump bands?

[sheeplikessleep]

I'm 30 weeks and bump feels so heavy now, much more than being pregnant last time. Also feels like I need to hold it underneath.

I've got one of those cotton bump bands, to wear under clothes, avoid showing midriffs, but I wondered if there is anything that offers more in terms of support?

Has anyone used anything like this ...

Any suggestions very gratefully received!

I had one like this when I had SPD - was brilliant for me until bump got too big, about 35 weeks I think.

thanks for posting kaylohalo - could you not wear it until the end of your pregnancy then (surely when you're at your biggest and so need the band the most?).

I've got a carriwell one which has been great. Do recommend buying a larger size than you think you need. I ended up with a large and am a size 12. Comfortable to wear when walking to give extra support

I had one last time round and it was brilliant for support, back ache etc. It was much wider than the one you linked to, so I think would give more support, but I dont know where I got it - sorry!

I had really bad rib pain in my first preg and I found one of these helped a lot. I think it stopped the bump from pulling down on my ribs - if you see what i mean.

Definitely worth the cash - I'd say.

I really regretted not getting one. At the end of my pg I was litterally carrying my bump cos I couldnt take it otherwise

Thanks for posting - that Carriwell one looks really good! I'm 'normally' a size 10 (sometimes 8 in Next and M&S), so I'll go for the medium - thanks for that tip.

I'll get one ordered today - thanks for posting!
