I need help - maternity belts
So I bought a maternity belt to try to help with this wonderful groin pain, and it's doing nothing for me except giving me a huge muffin top. There were no directions with it, but it seems pretty self-explanatory.
If you used one, what brand did you use and where did you get it? I am in so much pain right now, but I don't want to admit it. If this continues like this, I am not going to be able to work full days anymore. I just want to sit and cry because I'm only 7 months, and have until January to go. I am so glad to be pregnant, but this totally sucks.
Help! This is the band I have, but doesn't seem to do anything but squish my hips and make my legs feel like they are going to fall asleep.

Re: I need help - maternity belts
I have one very similar that our DCP gave me. Honestly, I was in MORE pain after taking it off. I have no idea if I wore it too tight or what but it was bad.
I don't have any advice....sorry

That's the (second) one I got and it really helped me. Have you tried wearing it either higher or lower? The pain that I was having was either in my back or kind of on top of my belly. (still think it was gallbladder, but whatever...)
I felt like I always wore it pretty high on my back and angled it down a lot to hold the weight. I don't know if that was "right" or not but it seemed to help. I hope you can find something that helps. That sounds pretty miserable. Does Tylenol do anything to help it?
