My OB advised me to wear a maternity belt because of my rather big tummy. This is my fourth pregnancy and my tummy is a bit roomy now. Sati can actually do ballroom dancing inside my tummy.LOL. Bought this belt at Mercury Drugstore, it was a bit expensive (for me), about $15 or less. Anyway, after two weeks of using it, I can say I am not perfectly happy with it. First thing, it was really bulky! It makes you think of the days when maternity or any pregnancy items are huge, big and ugly. I can wear it at home but outside? nah, specially if I ma wearing sexy maternity clothes.

Let’s move on to the real reason why I bought this maternity belt, I give it an A. It really supports my tummy and supporst even my back. It really prevents dropping of my abdomen (it is the right term for lawlaw?). If you are having some trouble keeping your posture straight and have a heavy tummy, I highly recommend this one.

I had my prenatal check up last Saturday. According to my OB, my belly fats are making it difficult for my back. I need a maternity belt! Yes, more than 50% of my tummy are fats and not the baby. A long walk makes me feel like I am about to give birth. The OB says that since I already have three pregnancies prior to this one, my ovary, my bely (and almost everything about my body) were a bit over worn by now, imagine a bacon garter on your undies. OK not that bacony, but you do get the point right? And so the solution is maternity belt to hold my bulging belly fats out of my vajayjay way. Who would have thought that having a lot of kids can be this complicated?

Anybody here tried using this kind of pregnancy product?
