  Hi, I had SPD and had this belt. http://www.oxfordpramcentre.co.uk/product_Carriwell-Maternity-Support-Band_1405_0_index.php
  
  Later I had a special one from the maternity hospital from the physio which is like a spider legs.

  Sorry forgot to say it was my 3rd too and recommended to me from a lady having twins. she had tried and tested the one from mothercare and didnt rate it as much as this one.

  Thank you ***Nic*** - that's one I had on my short list actually but as it was one of the cheaper ones I wondered if it was good enough - thanks for recommendation.

  Hi, I have just been diagnosed with SPD too, it is so painful. I am waiting for my physio appointment too. My doctor told me not to bother with a belt as they can have a placebo effect and there is no medical evidence that they help. This has really confused me, as I was going to buy one but now I am not sure what to do.

  just like to say it might not helpyou at all,my first pregnancy i had really bad back ache so decided to buy a support belt but it did nothing but i kept it just incase i needed it again,my second pregnancy (twins) i had spd and brought it back out,it did nothing for the pain,when i went to see the physio they gave me anouther one and told me to put both on which i did,it took the weight of the bump which was a god send as my bump was moosive but again did nothing for the pain,the only thing that helped me was crutches but some ppl swear by them
