Gabrialla Maternity Support Belt
Review by Running Mom, Bethany

Maternity Support Belt Reviewed. I love my Gabrialla support belt!

I just came back from my very first run with it. I decided to keep the run short, 3.5 miles, so that I could test the waters easily. But by the end of it, I felt like I could have gone for longer. I was so comfortable.

When I was running without the maternity support belt, I felt like my uterus dropped on top of my bladder and remained there for the remainder of the run. I felt like I had to seriously pee every five minutes. I also felt like my uterus was not safe or supported. I didn't like the flopping sensation I had, and I'm not even that far along! In short, it just did not feel safe to me. So I decided to order the Gabriella maternity support belt and give it a shot. Until it arrived, I would stick to walking.

Like I said, today was my first run with the belt, and I have to say, this is without a doubt the best forty bucks I have ever spent. The first mile was a little awkward, as I tried to adjust the belt to what felt comfortable, but once I figured it out, I was off like a shot.

I ran faster and better. I felt like I was back to my normal running self. I felt like I could push myself harder without hurting the baby. And the best part is I didn't feel the urge to pee at all!

My advice for those of you who already ordered yours or are thinking about it is this.

All the reviews from runners that I read about this belt suggested wearing a tank top under it, so as to prevent chafing. They are correct. Wear the tank top. Then, if you are going to wear a tank top, wear one that is sweat wicking and cool, so that if you wear a shirt over it, you won't overheat. However, plan on wearing layers, because I had to strip down after a mile and a half, the tank top and the long sleeve shirt were just too much.

When you order the belt, I would suggest ordering it a size bigger, as they tend to run a little small, and you'll need room for expansion.pregnancy support belt

I ordered the medium, but I can already tell I will eventually have to order the large. I also read this suggestion in other reviews from runners.
But it is definitely, DEFINITELY worth the money! I feel like I can get back out there and run safely again! LOVE IT!!
