Customer Reviews of Mother-To-Be Maternity Support
Customer Review: I am 7 months pregnant...
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is just as described. I am 7 months pregnant, and I have been suffering for about 3 months of back pain, plus my hips are too loose and hurt, my belly was hurting quite a bit too, trying to carry the weight of my baby and there wasn't must I could do. I couldn't walk for more than a few blocks....(less than 10 at a time, and ten was a lot... just in a good day)
I've been wearing that belt for a week and a half, and most of the pain is gone. My back and hips feel a LOT better (not completely painless, but that's pregnancy...) and my belly doesn't hurt! I just went for a 3 miles walk (ok, it was a bit much, but 2 miles felt fine). And that's the longest (by far) that I have been able to walk since I was about 3-4 months pregnant!
I recommand this product to any woman who suffers like it did. I am so happy with it, and wish I had bought it sooner...
Customer Review: Way to go!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the XL maternity support from Banner Therapy through Amazon, and WOW it was huge. I would say that a woman that was about a 20-plus size would probably be the smallest this would work for. If you're between an 18-20 the large would work much better for you.
I love the belt, it supports really well, and is much better than the old single strap support belt I had used in the past. I would advise wearing the belt over a large pair of maternity underwear, or a tank top, since it can rub and irritate when wearing it for hours at a time. This belt doesn't bunch up or fold over itself like the single strap belts do. Also the extra over-the-belly strap helps give a really nice added support to your tummy as well as helping to keep the belt in position. Although this was a rather pricey item, I think it's worth the extra expense. My back and belly feel much better. If you're a mom on your feet all day, like most of us are, you'll really appreciate what this can do for you.
***As a side note, the Banner Therapy people are so great to deal with! When I called them about needing a smaller size, they were ready to help and made the exchange process incredibly smooth and painless. No questions asked! The staff (especially Dawn) were so sweet and helpful. It's rare these days that you encounter such outstanding customer service. Way to go!!!*** I would definately buy from them again.
Customer Review: I am in my last 2 months of pregnancy and bought this belt to help with some sciatic nerve pain in my leg.
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish I would have had this belt for my last two pregnancies! I am in my last 2 months of pregnancy and bought this belt to help with some sciatic nerve pain in my leg. Not only has the belt helped to improve the pain in my leg, it has also allowed me to be able to walk or stand for 2 hours + without feeling much discomfort. I would definately recommend it. Customer Review: I can't believe I've made it to the 7 month without this support belt.
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe I've made it to the 7 month without this support belt. It really is a must have for mom-to-be's!
My only suggestion is purchase a camisole or leotard to go under the belt for better comfort!
Customer Review: I saved mine just in case but have yet to wear it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this particular belt because of the reviews, plus my local Babies-R-Us didn't have a size small support belt in stock.
This belt has turned out to be one of the few lifesavers for my pregnancy -- my sciatica was horrid from month five on, really, and this was the ONLY thing that relieved it. It comes with easy-to-read and understand instructions with pictures and a nice disclaimer about how it doesn't constrict bloodflow, etc. (And it doesn't.)
I have yet to wear the upper strap part (it would slide down a little when I was smaller and I've just grown used to not wearing it), though some women might find it useful. I saved mine just in case but have yet to wear it.
The only downside I can see (and it's not really much of one, IMO) is you might have to buy some really long, thin tank tops or long john style shirts to wear under the belt, as it could irritate your skin otherwise. But given that I've had a winter pregnancy and the long tanks were readily available from several stores, this proved no problem for me at all.
This belt is on my list of must-have things anyone I know who's pregnant and having back or sciatica issues. I highly recommend it!
