Maternity Back Support

Find a good chiropractor who adjusts pregnant moms and babies. Made a HUGE difference to me. I even got adjusted IN labor and all of the pain that was in my low back was instantly gone. I've had 3 babies at home without any pain meds, so keeping my pelvis moving and decreasing my pain was a HUGE. One of my babies was even over 10 pounds and no tearing, etc.

Get thee to a chiropractor!
I had one through my second pregnancy, not my first and I can't tell you how much better I felt with regular adjustements and stretching.

I just want to agree with both of the previous posters!

1. Hated the harder, super supportive constricting ones. But the wide elastic velcro belt type support band that I bought at the maternity store was helpful. It just relieved some the the stress and I liked the support.

2. FIND A CHIROPRACTOR! i don't know how I would have made it through either of my pregnancies without him! Both my girls sat very low in my pelvis the whole time, just grinding on my sciatic nerve. But getting an adjustment in my lower back released the pressure and pain immediately.

I wore one of the belly bands and it didn't seem to effect it at all. I did wear the soft one that comes at the maternaty stores that just holds tight. I liked it but the hard ones I hated.
