Gabrialla Elastic Maternity Belt, Medium Support

For anyone who suffers from back pain or lower abdomen pain during pregnancy I can''t recommend enough that you wear a maternity belt. It is so helpful.

I used another brand/style maternity belt for my first pregnacy and it was very helpful. I opted to purchase this Gabrialla belt because it looked like it would be an improvement on what I had. It is.

I like it because it is one piece (not three like my other one) and it is very easy to adjust once it is on. It is also not too rigid so it is pretty comfortable from that perspective.

One comment though. Try and find the sizing guide on another site to ensure you get the right size. On Amazon there was no sizing guide and I had to guess what I thought I would be. I ended up returning mine for the next size up (DrStockings was fabulous with helping with the return). Since the belt is very adjustable, I would recommend going a size up if you are between measurements.

I ordered this support belt as it was recommended by a few sites and runners for the pregnant runner. It has helped tremendously, supporting my growing tummy so that I''ve been able to continue running (well, more of a jog now) into my sixth month. I don''t feel like I''m weighted down in front or bouncing my belly all over the place, and it isn''t so large that I feel awkward wearing it under a tank top or t-shirt. I do wear something underneath the band though as it rubs like anything else would. Also, really does provide great back support, which helps with posture.

My only issue with this product is that I went up a size to the medium based on other consumer''s reviews, thinking this would be safe. Measurement-wise I would have fit into the small and at last dr. appt. was measuring a little below average size-wise. The medium was a perfect fit for now with about 1 1 1/2" of room to grow,but considering I still have 3 more months,I think the large would have been better. Ended up re-ordering in a large.

Would recommend this product, but strongly encourage ordering up at least one size or more if you plan on wearing it through the biggest months of pregnancy.

I like that the front closes then the sides can adjust to give a better/tighter fit. It seems to really get the baby up off my pelvic bone and helps with back ache, circulation, etc. I am 5''2" and this is my 3rd baby. I have had other belts with my 2 other pregnancies. I find this belt to be the most supportive and pull the baby up the most (compared to medela and belly-band belts).

I first purchased this in my 6th month so I could continue running. It provides the extra support my belly needs and is very comfortable. I was able to continue running (and am 32 weeks, still doing run/walk intervals)

I''m now in my 8th month and am wearing the belt all the time. I''m having some swelling and varicose vein issues but the belt seems to really help when I wear it consistently. I do find it comes up rather high on my back now (as the pregnancy "sway-back" gets worse) and I need to wear a tank under it to keep it from rubbing my super-sensitive pregnancy skin but that''s with everything for me.

First let''s discuss sizing... I was 5''7'' 154 pre-pregnancy and gained 20 pounds during my pregnancy all in the bump. I ordered a large and it turned out to be the perfect size. I was not big enough to use it until about 6 months pregnant though.

Now let''s discuss usefulness.... I used it when I was 6 months to have some extra support while walking (which was my only form of exercise). It provided great support. Also if you have stretching/ growing pains or round ligament pain, this is really helpful with the discomfort. However, this proved to be absolutely necessary when I hit 34 weeks. The baby dropped lower and I had a little back pain and sciatic pain. The lower abdomen pain when the baby dropped was so bad it hurt to walk. This really lifted up the weight of the baby and helped me feel so much better. Then at 36 weeks the baby started to engage and the pressure of the weight coming down on my belly was very high. This really was a lifesaver with that discomfort. I wear it anytime I am on my feet.

Now about comfort.... It is comfortable to wear against the skin. I did not experience any itchiness or anything. It is also not really visible under clothing unless you were to wear a really thin fabric. I wear fitted cotton tees and no one can see it. You may find that sitting down in a chair makes it poke into the tops of the thigh and not let your back sit at a comfortable posture. So take it off whn sitting in a hard chair or on a couch. But I can sit very comfortably on my birthing ball without having to remove it.

Breathability... There is no problem with this if you are in cool weather. But you will sweat under it when you work out or if it is summer. I wore it all spring directly against my skin under clothes and did not sweat. But as summer weather is starting, I need to wear it on top of a tank top to be comfortable because it makes me sweat under it. But with a tank top under it it is fine. Of course, I would''t go out in public with it on top of clothing, but in the comfort of my own home I could care less what it looks like.

Overall, Love it and could not live without it.

I work long hours on my feet and have found wearing any maternity belt has helped relieve the round ligament and back pain I was experiencing. Although not as comfortable as my other belt, I like that it is one piece so it''s easy to to remove/replace during bathroom breaks. It also feels like it breaths more, I''m not as sweaty at the end of the day as with other belts. The only problem is I got a medium and found it too small, so I do recommend sizing up. It also can be a tad uncomfortable when your sitting since it rides up and the front portion can dig into your belly. However this might be because it''s getting too small for me.

For sizing, measure yourself just above your hips but beneath the "bump" to get the right fit.

Small (28-33")

Medium(33.5-38")

Large (38.5-40.5")

Xlarge(41-45.5")

2X-large (46-50.5")

I found the above sizing chart on this website.
