Belly support band at night?

Question

26wks. So far the RLP is not bad during the day. At night i tend to roll from side to side often and if I’ve spent to much time on one side, it feels like my belly is being ripped off of me from my pelvis to my hip 😭 i wake up and scream it’s so bad. Can i wear a belly support band at night and would it help any?

Answer

I’ve been dealing with the same problem. It’s been way worse with this pregnancy than it was with my first. I wake up during the night moaning in pain as I roll over and it freaks out my husband lol. I’ve tried 3 different maternity pillows and this one is the best I’ve found. It cradles and supports your tummy and keeps you from rolling onto your back (which I tend to do in my sleep). I’ve slept with it 2 nights in a row now and haven’t woken up with that pain. It’s kind of annoying to get in and out of for bathroom trips during the night, but it’s fairly easy to roll over in.

Answer

I saw a physio today and was told not to wear any support bands at night. I would advise seeing a physio and getting their advice.

Answer

I don’t see why not but don’t know how comfortable it’d be.  Are you using pillows to prop up your belly?  That might help.  So if you roll side to side maybe have 2 so you don’t have to reposition.  They also sell belly wedges on amazon that just prop up the belly only if you don’t want a bulky pillow.
