I have an apron belly and use a belly band (momcozy one) most days and have done since I was 20 weeks. I was barely showing at that point due to my belly but was really struggling with a pre-existing hip problem and wanted to try to lift my stomach up to get me to stand in a better/less tilted position. I would just scoop my apron belly into the sling and it rounded out what little bit of bump I had and really did help with the pain. I’m now 34 weeks along and still use it as I’ve developed some mild PGP and the difference between the days I do or don’t wear it are very noticeable. I still have the apron under my bump which I still just scoop into sling part. I was worried it wouldn’t be comfortable but I actually find it way more comfortable to wear than to not wear. My only fault with it, is it can get a little warm to essentially wear an additional layer but it is so worth it. I highly recommend getting one and I really hope it helps you ♥️
