re: Maternity Belt

If you get one at a medical supply store, your insurance will cover it. I got a $60 one and didn't have to pay a dime out of pocket. It was wonderful.

Really!? I will definitely be looking into that then. I know my ankle brace was $150 before insurance and i wound up paying only a $20 copay (for fitting) after it was all said and done.

!! Even better!

Just have your OB write you a prescription for it. I loved mine, it helped a ton with my back/pelvic pain! I forget what brand it was, but it had velcro and a strap that went over the top of my belly.

I have the one that just goes underneath your belly and it has Velcro on the front and on each side of your belly (a little late, sorry, I had an appointment with my midwife which lead to a 3 hour hospital stay for tests).
