One of famous pregnancy stuff recently is pregnancy belly and back support. On this post we will give you slight information about pregnancy support band.
What exactly is a belly band? Do you have any idea?
A pregnancy belly band is an item of pregnnacy clothing and looks like a tube top or boob tube. It is a wide circular strip made of fabric, which is seamless and knitted; much like a pair of pantyhose is woven. They are specially designed to fit around a pregnant mother’s mid section. Belly bands are usually made from a combination of fibres such as cotton + Elastane/Spandex or Lycra. Pregnancy belly band have to be stretchy in order to stay up and on and also to “grow” with mother’s abdomen as her pregnant belly expands.
Some pregnancy belly bands are sealed with a Velcro band which can be set up depending on the mother’s belly shape and body size; others don’t have the option of closure and instead, are just a knitted, continuous band of elastised fabric. Maternity support belly bands with wider, rather than narrower hems on the top and the bottom tend to sit flatter and reduce the likelihood of the band “rolling” in on itself. Also, a higher Lycra contain will add to the cost but is just as likely to add to the comfort factor.
What should you choose? Wear it or not?
Manufacturers and developer of pregnancy belly bands said that they are great as “wardrobe extenders”, nothing more. Pregnant woman will able to wear their pre-pregnant clothes for longer, especially their trousers, jeans and skirts. As their belly expand and it becomes difficult to do up the zip, clips or buttons, these can be left open and the belly band is worn over the top of the pants, covering the expanse of skin. They apply it like a “bridge” between where the top ends and where the pants or skirt start.
Most women who’ve worn a pregnant support belly band say they’re not conscious of their zip or buttons being open with the band stretched over the top. The buttons/zips do not “dig into” their skin and there’s no feeling of discomfort from them not being done up. However, some say they don’t like the feeling of not being “done up” and feel a bit exposed.
Some pregnant mothers like to wear their belly band as a boob tube with a skirt or pants. During hot weather the freedom of having as much skin exposed as possible can make a real difference when it comes to comfort.
Maternity clothes are just a fact of life for most of us during our pregnancies. But the stretchy panel in the front of skirts and pants can be just a little unattractive. This is another reason why a belly band can provide a more appealing alternative. It covers up the expanse of stretchy fabric which sits prominently from the waist area to just above the pubic bone.
Because they are another layer, they can be warm for the cooler season.
Some pregnant mothers find they are just a good wardrobe accessory and provide a different good look. They can smooth the middle section and provide an alternative to monochromatic colour when dressing.
Pregnancy support Belly bands are a great intermediate pregnancy clothing item between not fitting into pre-pregnancy clothes and maternity clothing being too large. When maternity pants would otherwise be swimming on you, a belly band will help to hold them. Likewise, in the first couple of months after your baby is born, you’re unlikely to fit back into your pre-pregnancy clothes. Belly bands can still be worn after birth.
What’s the difference between a pregnancy support belly belt and a maternity belly band?
Maternity belly belts, similar to pregnancy belly bands uses a bit differently. The pregnancy belts have a different, stretchy fabric panel across the front of the band where the pregnant belly sits. They are also narrower than the pregnancy belly band. The fabric at the back and sides of the band is less stretchy than the portion at the front. Others are stretchy all the way around.
What does a pregnancy support belly band cost?

If you buy one from a pregnancy boutique this is likely to be a more expensive option because they sell the brand not the use.

If you get together with a group of pregnant friends you could have a sewing day and save yourselves some money and have fun at the same time.
