Pregnancy running support belt
Quote | Reply
I'm 20 weeks along and my doctor wants me to start using a support belt when I run. Anyone have any recommendations for a good one?

So it depends on how much support you need. My favorite is the serola SI belt: http://www.serola.net/...sacroiliac-belt.html. I often have my patients use it as a gentle support. It is the most comfortable of this type I have tried for myself and my patients.

There is also a more aggressive belly band that depending on the size of your belly or needs might be a good option as well. Of course I am at home today and can't for the life of me remember the brand that people use the most but they generally look like this:

I will try to look tomorrow and work and post the brand that I hear the best results from.
Happy Pregnancy!

I have not seen that particular one, but it looks like the one that I normally recommend (really they are all fairly similar) The biggest difference I find is in materials.

I started wearing the Medalla Support Band (http://www.amazon.com/...de-S-M/dp/B0001BUK9O) around 25 weeks or so...I really enjoyed it for a while and felt it helped take some pressure off the pelvis. But now that I am 36 weeks it is no longer doing the trick...so I am accepting that swim/elliptical/walk is in the books for a little while! (I was really hoping to be one of those "run til you pop" types...but not worth the discomfort / possible damage = listen to the body!). Good luck!
