I am currently in my third trimester and experiencing abdominal pain and pelvic pressure. Occasionally I deal with lower back pain as well. I've checked out 2 maternity supports online at www.babiesrus.com but I'm not sure if they will be comfortable. There are not enough reviews regarding the support belts. I'm wondering if the belts are comfortable enough to wear all day long or only for a couple of hours. Has anyone used these type of supports before and what were the pros and cons?

They were only comfortable for me for a few hours but it was better than the pain my son was putting me through. He was sitting on sciatic nerve so I used the support to relieve the pressure. It worked well but I actually like it better after I gave birth. My ob told me that if I wore it a couple ours a day around my c section it would help me heal faster. It did I was able to walk around with it and it was easier recovering from it. I guess it all depends on the person and their build to wether it will be comfortable or not.

The lower back pain I deal with sometimes comes from pressure on the sciatic nerve. I'm not sure what is worse, the pelvic pain or the back pain. Thank you for your response.
