maternity support belts...do they help?

I'm 35+1 and have been having a lot of pressure down there for a couple weeks now. It's getting worse, so I called my doc and she suggested resting as much as possible and trying a belt. I don't feel like going out to get one today unless I know it's helpful. Does it help with the pressure?

    It has helped me a lot! at first I got the one that just goes around your waist but I have pubic symphisis and it personally just made my back hurt. My Dr told me to get one that puts the weight on my shoulders instead. World of difference! its called the prenatal cradle.

    @smcox thank you for the tip! Where did you buy it?

    I could only find it online, I got it on Amazon. My Dr said it should be available at a real pharmacy ( not CVS or walgreens) but the ones in my area were out of them.
