As a Physical Therapist, I knew I would need some extra support to stay on my feet helping patients. That was 4 pregnancies and 2 garments ago. Each of my Cradles have been loaned to friends, and wear well through 3 pregnancies!
Once I hit 4 months pregnant, I really appreciate the support it gives me. Other, smaller straps just didn't contain my tummy, and I like that I can just slide it up or down as my activity requires. Occasionally I get impatient with the shoulder straps, but when I am REALLY big (after 30wks) the straps are indispensible.

Prenatal Cradle a Plus!,

This review is from: It's You BabePrenatal Cradle, Small 145 - 175 Pounds (Health and Beauty)
My doctor told me to buy this because my back pain was so bad by my 3rd month that I couldn't stand upright without a pinching pain in my lower back. Within two days my back pain was at a tolerable level, and now I am even exercising! It is a little difficult to get on, and it shows with ALL of my maternity clothing, but it is worth it. I tightened two straps with safety pins so it is a lot more comfortable for my growing belly. This is the exact invention that I needed. With a toddler running around I couldn't be laying in bed all day. If I have any more children, I will definetly use this.

(From the wife) My doctor recommended this prenatal cradle last year, but I opted for a cheaper store belt (which didn't help me). Pregnant again this year with an infant to care for, I chose to follow his suggestion. I love my cradle! I've worn it daily, 8-12 hours a day, throughout my third trimester. Without it, my belly feels heavy and strained. With it, it's like someone holding my belly up for me. It's summer, so the straps that cross over the chest have been visible. At first I used safety pins to hide them, then I realized I could use my nursing bra (which I was already wearing for comfort purposes) to slip the straps off to the side under the cup snaps - works like a charm!! As a fibromyalgia sufferer who is dealing with pelvic and back/hip pain, this product has kept me mobile, moderately pain-free, and able to care for my very active pre-toddler.
I definitely agree with ignoring the weight suggestions and buying a size up. At my smallest, I'm a size 8...Read more
