If your in that much pain ask your midwife to refer you, or self refer if you can to the local physio department, I did and have some great advice and exercises and have been referred for aquanatal hydrotherapy classes. Don’t suffer in silence, my physio said, discomfort is normal, lots of pain although common can be sorted out! Take care x

My midwife told not to use these if possible, as it allows your muscles to weaken further and then you end up in more pain.

Sorry, not what you asked but just thought it worth mentioning.

I have one similar to the one posted above, from Amazon. It helps a little but I'm finding it's been so hot and humid recently I've not wanted to wear it. I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow and back pain is making me miserable

I was using a jojo maman bebe one, found in a charity shop so possibly an older model. Helped a bit but once I got referred for physio they gave me a much better one. I have pgp but only in the back of my pelvis, it's worth asking if you can get referred for the back pain.

I was recommended one by my physio during my previous pregnancy I got it off amazon, it’s a serola sacroiliac maternity support belt.

My physio adjusted it for me and showed me how to wear it to get maximum support.
