My pregnant wife is having twins and her doctor request that she should use a back brace to support her and to lift her stomach as well.

I understand that alot of people are answering with "belly belts", but I had the worst back pain ever with just carrying one. And she was my fourth! I am a small person so that might be why. But- what the tip that I was givin, and worked, was get a backpack and put some books in it. It helps take the strain off of the back and helps lift the tummy up.

The pregnancy belt is a god send. When I was pregnant with my son it provided me with much needed relief. I found mine at Baby Depot, but I'm sure other baby stores would have them. I also used one of those body pillows for sleeping on. and it helped alot as well.
Hope this helps

I never used them, but wal-mart sells a back/stomach support band.. it is in the bra section, where nursing bras are sold.. like i said i never used one, so i dont know how they work, but i wish i would have had something..I hope everything gows well with your new little bundles of joy.. and your new little bundles of laundry..and diapers.. the list goes on and on...!

It sound strange but there is a product called a "belly bra". It will support her abdomen and lower back. It really helped my sister in law.

What kind of bed do you have? I would recommend an airbed (Select Comfort) or a TempurPedic. Yes they are expensive but worth it.

They have these belts at Babies R Us but I've never used one.
Congrats!
