When I got to 22 weeks pregnant I began to feel the weight of my bump, and realised that I was starting to hold onto it for support when I was walking around, so decided to try one of the belly support things available.
Originally I tried the Carriwell maternity support top, but found that there was just an excess of material between the bra part and the belly part which simply did not work, so instead decided to go for the support band instead, and I must say it has really done its job well.
The band itself is simply a seamless bit of lycra-type material, with some ridges in chosen places to help support your bump. It sits just under your bump, with the back riding a little higher so that it doesn't ride up with your jeans. The material is soft, and the band is virtually unnoticable under even the tightest of clothes, so you can get away with it under just about anything. It's also really comfortable - you hadrdly notice you're wearing it, and because its so non-intrusive, you can also wear it in bed, which has been a great help because I found that my muscles were straining when I tried to turn over.
The only downsides to the product are that it does bobble, and it bobbles on both the inside and outside, although you can't feel it too much when it's on, and it also seems to get moisturiser stuck to it in bobbles as well somehow. The other thing is that it doesn't last for long. I started wearing one at week 22, and by week 25 I could tell that it wasn't working quite so well anymore, and that walking was quickly becoming painful for my stomach muscles again, leading me to need to buy another different support belt for my growing bump. Nexcare Elastic Pregnancy Belly/Bump Support - Size 8-18.
The good thing is that this belt did it's job really well for three weeks, and is still great for wearing in bed. It can also be worn underneath another bump support belt to stop any irritation to your skin as it is really nice material, and can be worn mearly to cover the gap between non-maternity tops and bottoms. Overall, I'd say it was well worth the money, and great for light support from week 22.

As soon as I hit 6 months my back started killing me. I tried the bump supports from Mothercare but they were either too big or too small so thought I'd give this one a go. I ordered the 12 (pre-pregnancy size) and the 14 and I would recommend that you go for the bigger size. It made such a difference to my back pain pretty much as soon as I put it on. the only thing I would say is that by the end of the day my tummy felt a bit squashed and I wasn't that big.
This band is quite comfy and offers good support, however cheaper ones that I've bought from the supermarket have offered better support and created a better silhouette under clothing.
