When your adorable baby bump starts to resemble more of a big ole’ baby belly, you can expect to experience the back pain and abdominal “heaviness” that come along with it. Every woman is different, and so is the amount of discomfort she will experience during pregnancy. For some moms-to-be, pregnancy causes some mild back pain to flare up, while others really do find themselves suffering in discomfort.
Either way, many mamas turn to some form of pregnancy belly support to help relieve the pain. Known as a maternity belt, pregnancy belt, or belly band, these products are wildly popular and readily available at both baby stores and online. They are typically designed for prenatal or postnatal use—and some work for both.
There are two main kinds of pregnancy belly support products:
  • Maternity bands loop around the belly in one piece, without any clasps or fasteners. They typically offer compression but don’t always lift the belly up to carry the weight.
  • Maternity belts are made with clasps or fasteners in order to provide greater back support and carry some of the belly weight.
You’ve got enough to do to prepare for baby, so to make it easier to find the best belly bands for pregnancy, we’ve done the research for you. Our picks for the best belly bands for pregnancy highlight the variety of options that are out there—in different categories—so it's easy to choose what works best for you.
But first, here are a few things to look for when deciding which pregnancy belly support to go with:
  • Material: Chose a maternity belt made of soft, adjustable material—make sure it’s got plenty of room to expand to fit your ever-expanding belly!
  • Fit: It should be snug—the compression helps improve the pain—but make sure it’s not too restrictive or uncomfortably tight
  • Support type: Decide what level of support you’d prefer- a band for compression, or a belt for greater back and belly support
Here are our picks for the best belly bands for pregnancy:
