It really helps!

I have to admit I was skeptical about this belt relieving pressure and pain, but it really does help a lot. I order the Medium according to the current weight recommendations and it fit just fine. I would agree with the other reviewer who said it should have another row of hooks. As I am in my last trimester and feel like one is too tight and the next is a tad loose. These are also great for holding up maternity pants! Overall well worth the price.
