The best maternity belts and belly bands for belly and pelvic support recommended by doulas, therapists, and other women’s health experts including Gabrialla Elastic Maternity Belt, Serola Sacroiliac Hip Belt and Cabea Baby Belly Band .
Vestal recommends this elastic maternity belt from Gabrialla and likes the fact that it has a back pocket that can accommodate a hot or cold pack, which can be “a lifesaver” if you’re experiencing that kind of pain.
Another belt Vestal loves is the Baby Belly Pelvic Support, which was designed by British Columbia–based physiotherapist Diane Lee. Most maternity bands wrap from the back to the front of the pelvis, but, according to Vestal, this belt is novel in that it’s adjustable and can be attached going from the front to the back or from the back to the front. This customizability can address both PSD pain, which occurs in the front of the pelvis, and SI joint pain, which happens in the back. “If you really need that extra support in the front with PSD, this band is a godsend because women can experience both of these type of pains throughout their pregnancy; it can start in one place and go to the other,” says Vestal. “The pelvis is a ring at the end of the day, so often that pain will shift. A belt like this will allow you to customize it to what you’re experiencing.”
“This is a good one for those having groin pain, back, hernia, and pelvic-floor pain,” according to Vestal. It also comes with add-on compression-therapy groin bands.
A favorite of Mayer’s is this woven wrap, also known as a rebozo, which is essentially a long, wide piece of fabric that can be used as a wrap during pregnancy, as a labor coping tool during labor (with the help of a doula who can use it to perform exercises that relax the hips and abdomen), and as a baby carrier postpartum.
