Have any of you needed a maternity support belt?

🙈🙉🙊 • Mom to 2 amazing little boys.
My first pregnancy was totally normal. I'm 18 weeks today and it feels like my entire left side is strained and pulled. I'm so uncomfortable. I also had a ligament pull so bad in the middle of the night while rolling over that I screamed out in pain. My mom thinks I need a support belt. Has anyone used one? Do they help? They look so uncomfortable.
