Medela Maternity Support

Comments about Medela Maternity Support:

I need some support for my belly because I didn't gain much weight, so the belly is feeling heavy. This is my second pregancy.
I expected to feel a certain relief with the belt, but instead it creates more discomfort.

good

This band holds your tummy in and really helps my pelvic pain. The only things I don't like about it are the top sides roll over Instead of staying stiff and in place and I almost feel that it won't be usable long. I am not a big gal(normally a size 8) and thought the band's sizing would be more useable

I received this product about one week ago and have used it daily since. I've had back pain throughout (and before) my pregnancy (I'm almost 28 weeks now and carrying rather low) and finally got fed up enough with it that I decided to look around for a discreet support belt to help manage the pain. This belt certainly seems to help; at the very least, it feels good to have counter-pressure on my back and something to support the big belly. The belt is awkward in some ways, though.

I bought a S/M belt (I am about 5'7", 115-120, size 2-4 pre-pregnancy; 130-135 right now), and the fit seems correct. I find, however, that the top and bottom edges of the belt roll down/up and do not lie flat on my body. This creates some awkward-looking seams under tighter-fitting clothing (yes, the belt is soft enough to wear against the skin). I wish the packaging came with some directions regarding the best way to wear the belt to avoid as much of this "rolling" as possible. I'd also like to see the two strips of velcro that serve as closures (one presumably for the "small" size and one for "medium") combined into one wider strip. The "small" closure is just a little too tight and the "medium" definitely too large for me; if there were one solid, large strip of velcro, the belt would have a much more flexible fit.

In all, I'd recommend this product -- it seems to work as advertised and the material is comfortable -- but with the caveats I've mentioned.

I was having a lot of bladder and vaginal pressure.... As soon as I get my support belt I felt a lot better! I wear it most of the day and take it off when I get home
From work! Love it!

My one complaint is that it crushes down pretty quickly- but
The support still works so I keep using it :)

Works best over a tank top or over a maternity panel
On pants.

As a massage therapist I'm on my feet for hours a day. I was starting to have really bad low back and round ligament pain around 15 weeks of my pregnancy. After getting this support belt I can definitely feel the difference. I don't go to work without it. I even wear it at home on the days when I feel belly heavy. :)
