mntnmom: That looks really great! It looks so comfortable and I like how it adjusts to your changing size. It also says it can be worn during pregnancy for belly/back support. I wish I could find more reviews about it online.

Just to add one more to the mix, I saw this one on Amazon.

I just emailed that company & they said their "Hem it in belt" is actually best for vaginal delivery...& if you do end up having c-section you need to wait at least 3 days to wear this one.

...& the width of the belt depends on the size you get.

Small and `PT are 6" wide
Med is 8" wide
Large is 9"
Voluptuous is 10"

I'm still so torn on which belly binder to order!

Anyone else want to chime in?

I know the ita-med one is a very reputable brand and worth the price. Medela makes a postpartum support belt too but not as serious as the ita-med version.

GuavaGirl, did you ever make a decision? I'm trying to decide right now....I'm leaning toward the ITA-med or the flex-support one that is linked upthread, but I'd love to know what you decided!

Is it possible to use a wide ace bandage for pp belly binding?

Or even a spare maya wrap.

SheBear: No, I still haven't decided. It was driving me crazy, so I just sort of put it off for a while. Then money got tight and I was wondering about some sort of homemade one. Some have mentioned wrapping fabric around your waist, but I'm just not sure how well it would do the job, it doesn't seem like you could wear it out of the house...plus the knot in the back.....unless I'm missing something. I think someone said, a few posts back, that the ACE bandage is not so great, so I don't think I want to do that.
