Maternity support belt

I’m 34 weeks pregnant and I feel so heavy. This is my second baby but didn’t feel like this with my first as he was only 5.12 when born. Do people recommend maternity belts to help lift the stomach and take the weight off slightly? After a day of looking after my son I feel like my insides are going to fallout. Would a maternity belt reduce this or not make much difference!?

Honestly I had SPD in my second and a maternity belt save me from so much pain

Definitely i had awful pgp and the belts are amazing. I got one through a physio on the nhs or you can get them off amazon. The nhs one was more effective but bulkier. I used to use the nhs one at home and amazon one at work

@Alice @Roxanne did they ever hurt when you wore them. I’ve put mine on for about 10 mins and got pain in my ribs and above my hips??

Hmm no i dont think so. If you have a midwife appointment soon you could take it and ask them if you’re wearing it right?

I had one because of PGP/SPD in my first pregnancy (given to me by physio at the hospital) and it was absolutely rubbish it done nothing I didn’t bother with it in the end

@Megan it could be the wrong size
