  • my oh's nan has told me to get support belty thing to help support the bump and help my back although being slightly larger than you ladies i dunno if it will fit. the girdle may not be necessary for the slimmer ones out there but. I have to say i've never heard of them or heard of anyone ever using one. i take it they're a support belt for after birth?
  • yes - i just wish i could find a bit more information on the healt benefits/side effects - it all seems very interesting... it seems they are all the rage in the US... I think my doctor would have a fit if I asked her opinion on the matter!!

    If anyone wants to have a peek at the product, I've managed to find something on ebay that looks pretty nifty:

    The things Gwyneth Paltrow raved about were called Spanx and I think you can get them on figleaves etc.

    I guess what I'm concerned about is whether it is actually any good for your body to put compression on your tummy whilst it's healing...

    I am due 16th Dec - I wonder, will I actually care what I look like over the Xmas period?!??! Maybe I'll sit in trackie bottoms and veg in front of the TV for most of the time anyway....
