I just bought one today. I have really been feeling like there is a lot of pressure low in my belly, especially if I am on my feet much. So I went into Motherhood Maternity and they suggested one. So I bought it. Did you use one? what did you think of it??? I put it on in the store and instantly felt relief so I am hoping that is a good sign.

I've never used one but i'm curious to hear how you like it!

[Amelia's Mummy]

My friend actually had one and she said that she felt it helped her whole posture...

I hope it helps you Mandee

[Heather81]

hey if it works for posture I may have to get one!

[Toodles]

the lady at the store actually said it can help prevent stretch marks :confused: probably because it doesn't allow your belly to hang low which could cause extra stretching. hey...worth a shot :D

[Toodles]

Renee...am I reading your siggie right??? you use cloth diapers????

Im not sure there's anything that can TRUELY help with stretch marks. It's a genetic thing. If your mother was prone to them then you're likely prone to them too. It's all about the elasticity of your skin.

I hope the support belt makes you feel better though. If it works for ya let us know!! I'd be interested in getting one if it helps.

I don't have any on my stomach from my other pregnancies but i do have them on my thighs and boobs

I'm the same way. I have a couple little white ones on my hips.

I got lucky... I got none... but I do have my dark line down my abdomen though :(

Oh it's soooooooooo simple!! It's actually so much easier (and cleaner) then disposables. Not ot mention cheaper.........by a LONG shot! Plus, you don't have to worry about running out of dipes.

As an added bonus you don't have to use safety pins anymore. You can get diapers that are made just like disposables.

I'm using these www.bumgenius.com

I never got that but from what I hear, it doesn't last forever. It will disappear over time.

I hope so it's awful... it only appeared the last couple of weeks but it's really awful looking.

do a google search on linea negra. See what it says about it going away. I believe it should.

Yeah I did...

After birth, the line fades slowly, but may never disappear entirely, and sun exposure may cause it to recure.

:(

Oh well, it's not the end of the world. :)

[Heather81]

Yeah I did...



:(

OY! I hope that's not true. I can't imagine it getting real dark again though.

[Amelia's Mummy]

I got none too and I don't have the black line either!!!

[Bizzymammabee]

Very good to have if you carry low or are experiencing very bad back problems. I had to use one for my son. It was a godsend.

[Bizzymammabee]

The darkened line will disappear when your hormones are back to normal.

You go girl....I was back to work so that was a bit hard...lol. Don't worry she will be rolling and crawling soon and some of the chunkiness will whittle off. Oh I do love me a chunky monkey. Mine were petite so no chunky monkeys for me ;0(
