Anyone feel like picking up your belly?

[StephyB]

It's hard to explain, but for the past couple of days I've felt like I just want to wrap my arms under my belly and pick it up a bit - all I feel when I walk is pressure....
Anyone else feel like this?
Or is it normal?

Yep!!! I am quite slim so the extra weight can hurt when i walk!

Oh, they make these cool belt thingies just for that reason! I haven't had to use one yet but my ob/gyn has suggested them incase I start feeling a lot of pressure or back pain. They are called a maternity support band or something like that. Maybe it would be worth a try for you!

I actually caught myself doing that this morning!! I am definitely going to check into a support band!

 

[hmommy219]

Yes me!! I feel like if I don't hold it up everything will fall out! Lol.... I have a support band and it helps

 

[StephyB]

Thanks Ladies!
I'm going to look into getting a support band
I don't like feeling this uncomfortable at only 6 months! it will make the next couple of months drag if I feel like this now

Umm Yup!! Me all day LOL- it feels so much better as far as pressure wise when I do.

The support band really does help!

I used to use the maternity band. It helped so much. Good luck!

I never knew a maternity belt existed. I think I may need one. I can't walk at all without lifting up my belly. I probably look like a weirdo. I'm so happy to know that this is normal.
