Product Reviews of Mother-to-be Maternity Support Small
Product Review: An Absolute Must-Have!
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!
Product Review: Comfortable and helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a really comfortable belt that keeps your belly up preventing backache. I haven't seen any belt before like this. With its new design it makes it easy for you to adjust the belt without any pressure on your belly. Overall I recommend it to the buyers. Thanks.Product Review: Could not work without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am pregnant with twins and work as an orthopedic surgical nurse. I began having sciatic pain, back pain and lower abdominal pressure early on in my pregnancy (at around 3mths). I had used a similar brace during my first pregnancy 4 yrs ago and it had helped. This brace has been a god send. It gives my body the added support I need in order to perform my demanding job. It has also helped with the added pains and pressures with having twins and growing at an accelerated pace. From the day I started using it many of my pains subsided or dissappeared. I can guarantee that I would not be able to work if I did not have this brace. D. Giusti, San Diego, CA 10/12/08Product Review: Good support for sciatica.

This belt provides good support for prenatal sciatica. It lifts the belly and straightens your hips and back to correct posture. I recommend. It has helped me!Product Review: Great for pregnant runners!

I just received this last week and it will allow me to keep running longer - thank goodness! I am 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby and not too big yet, but jogging caused a lot of round ligament pain. I have been a runner for years and continued with my 4 mile runs until about 21 weeks when it became too uncomfortable because of ligament pain. Then cut it down to a 2 mile run and 2 mile walk, but at about 24 weeks the pain was back. I used the Mother-to-be support this week and no pain at all! It was amazing how supportive for being lightweight. I also used it while I did lunges and squats and it didn't impede leg movement while bending and stretching. Probably won't work for yoga and pilates, but I continued to wear it for a few hours after my workout and felt great. Initially, I was VERY skeptical that this would work. If you are having trouble continuing with an exercise program such as jogging or walking this is a great solution that may help you continue for a while longer. I definitely plan to use it when I quit running and switch to walking.
