A big help ...Apr 28, 2009
By A. F. Lunn
"Alison"
I started wearing the Mini Cradle two weeks ago and have noticed a significant improvement in stomach and back pain. It's the smartest $15 I've ever spent!
The only reason I give it four stars (rather than five) is because I think the sizing recommendations are off. I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant, weigh 135 pounds at 5'6", and am wearing the size small belt. It fits, but I'm wearing it on the largest setting and still have indentations on my stomach when I take it off. I can't imagine that it would comfortably fit someone at the high end of the recommended weight range (136 - 180 lbs). I definitely recommend the product, but would suggest sizing up if you're not at the low end of a weight range.

BIG help for aching round ligament muscles and back painJul 08, 2010
By R. Petrisko
"Gardengirl"
Based on previous reviews, I purchased this item because my Modela support belt was too wimpy to handle all the weight I have put on. Now, it's smaller width is deceiving, but don't be fooled. This belt is mighty strong.
Things I really like about this product:
- The belt seems small in width, but it does an excellent job of supporting a giant belly. I feel relief immediately in my back, round ligaments and legs. The Modela helped when I was lighter, but almost 40 lbs later, I needed hefty strength.
- The belt helps alleviate itchy belly. Keep lubing up and use this to help keep your skin from stretching and itching more. Nothing like itchy belly to drive you nuts.
- Because of the smaller width, it does not interfere with your underwear or other clothing. The Modela bunched up or rolled downward and I was constantly readjusting it. That was frustrating considering how much I paid for it.
- The belt is secured with hooks, like on a bra, and stays right where you want it to. Just move it up, down or at the desired angle - it will stay in place. I almost want to sleep with it on.
- You cannot beat the affordable price. Much less effective belts cost more. I wish I had tried this one sooner.
A couple tips:
- I agree with others regarding the incorrect sizing. I fall in their "small" category, but ladies, I'm using the very last row of hooks on my belt. If I get any bigger, I will either have to buy a medium or wear a super tight small. Good idea to size up if you fall in the middle-end range of their sizing chart. Keep in mind you are going to get humongous toward the second half of your pregnancy.
- Lastly, once you get your belt and fasten it, try moving the hooks so they are on your back. Sometimes that part of the belt gets itchy on your skin. The tag is also sewn in right there.

 This worksMay 21, 2009
By Jez and Rani
I was having lots of lower back and ligament pain as my bump grew from 30 weeks onwards. I bought this at 34 weeks and now I don't go anywhere without it. Not very comfortable when sitting down, but I didn't buy it for that. I used be in lots of pain after walking for maybe half a mile, it reduced considerably with the belt. Highly recommend it. You might want to buy one size up as mentioned in other reviews. The chart recommended small for me but I bought the medium and its perfect.

 Too SmallMay 26, 2009
By She-Ra
I ordered a size small, and it's too small (even on the largest setting). The other reviews indicating that the belt runs small are correct. Except that I *just* hit 130 pounds, and their "small" size says it goes from "136 - 180 lbs". It is ridiculous that their sizes should be *that* inaccurate. I'm returning it, and going to buy one in a store that I can try on.

I wear it everyday!!Dec 23, 2009
By T&J

My husband bought this for me when I was 35 weeks pregnant and experiencing some pretty severe pain from pubic symphysis dysfunction. I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant now, and I am continuing to wear the belt every day for support and to relieve the deep pelvic pain. This product worked immediately, and I wish I had purchased it sooner. It provides a lifting action, which takes the pressure of the baby off the deep pelvic structures (providing pain relief), and it compresses the pelvic bones together (also providing pain relief by preventing the painful symphysis separation). It also helps to alleviate lower back pain. I will be keeping it for subsequent pregnancies.
The only complaint I have about the Mini Prenatal Cradle is that I wish there were more of the hook and eye closures... there are only three sets, and they are spaced about three inches apart. So, there aren't many options for sizing. I was a size 3-4 pre-pregnancy and now weigh 134 lbs, so I was right on the border between ordering the petite or small. We went with the small because I didn't want to risk cutting off circulation with the petite, and it does fit perfectly with the tightest hook and eye slot. I love this belt, and I would recommend trying the Mini before purchasing the larger Prenatal Cradle that wraps around the shoulders, but order a size up if you are right on the border between sizes!
