Which are the best pregnancy support belts and belly bands to support your bump during your pregnancy? Find out at Mother&Baby.
There is some debate about whether pregnancy belts are safe but generally speaking, if used properly, they are. For instance, it's not recommended to use a pregnancy or a maternity support belt while sleeping but you'll get plenty of use out of it when you're out and about.
However, like shapewear, pregnancy belts work by ultimately compressing the body which is obviously not a good idea for your little one, so it's important to find one that fits properly and is fully adjustable - always make sure to try a maternity belt on before you buy or check the returns policy. Sherry A. Ross, MD, author of 'She-ology, The Definitive Guide to Women’s Intimate Health. Period', says, "Maternity shapewear that is too tight and puts too much pressure on the body is never a good idea. If you have trouble breathing, or you're in pain while wearing your shapewear, that's a sign that it's probably too tight for you.
In addition, prolonged use of a maternity belt can lead to reliance on it for support, which is counter productive. Instead, we should be focusing on developing our own core strength to support our bump and only use a pregnancy support belt as an extra aid. Other criticisms of using belts range from fastenings like velcro and poppers irritating skin or clothing, and regular adjustments throughout the day being an inconvenience.
