I don't know who needs to hear this, but get yourself a maternity belt 🙌.

I wanted one and put it off with my first two, but this time my midwife said absolutely get one because I need it. Ordered one from Amazon. It has been a life saver! I was having bad contractions, trouble walking comfortably from baby dropping lower, and back pain. 2years between each baby has caused my pelvic floor muscles to weaken. This belt has made it easier for me to be on my feet more, have more energy from not being in pain, and be able to be more present in our home instead of having to sit and lay around all day. It's crazy how this thing can do so much.

I took it off to have a little break from it and had planned on laying in bed before sleeping. I decided I wanted food and halfway into cooking I started having a little trouble standing comfortably and knew I needed to hurry up to go rest. My 4yr old ended up needing me, so I had to be on my feet a little longer and bend down a few times. Oof I'm currently suffering while finally being able to lay down 😖. I don't know how I survived without that belt before. If you need a sign that it is a with it purchase... It is... I'll add a picture of the belt I got.
