 I used The Cradle with all 4 pregnancys- it is great. Sep 07, 2005
By 4th time mom
As a Physical Therapist, I knew I would need some extra support to stay on my feet helping patients. That was 4 pregnancies and 2 garments ago. Each of my Cradles have been loaned to friends, and wear well through 3 pregnancies!
Once I hit 4 months pregnant, I really appreciate the support it gives me. Other, smaller straps just didn't contain my tummy, and I like that I can just slide it up or down as my activity requires. Occasionally I get impatient with the shoulder straps, but when I am REALLY big (after 30wks) the straps are indispensible.

 Prenatal Cradle a Plus! Oct 09, 2005
By DD
My doctor told me to buy this because my back pain was so bad by my 3rd month that I couldn't stand upright without a pinching pain in my lower back. Within two days my back pain was at a tolerable level, and now I am even exercising! It is a little difficult to get on, and it shows with ALL of my maternity clothing, but it is worth it. I tightened two straps with safety pins so it is a lot more comfortable for my growing belly. This is the exact invention that I needed. With a toddler running around I couldn't be laying in bed all day. If I have any more children, I will definetly use this.

Excellent support - trick to hide straps Aug 15, 2011
By Jeff Cafmeyer
(From the wife) My doctor recommended this prenatal cradle last year, but I opted for a cheaper store belt (which didn't help me). Pregnant again this year with an infant to care for, I chose to follow his suggestion. I love my cradle! I've worn it daily, 8-12 hours a day, throughout my third trimester. Without it, my belly feels heavy and strained. With it, it's like someone holding my belly up for me. It's summer, so the straps that cross over the chest have been visible. At first I used safety pins to hide them, then I realized I could use my nursing bra (which I was already wearing for comfort purposes) to slip the straps off to the side under the cup snaps - works like a charm!! As a fibromyalgia sufferer who is dealing with pelvic and back/hip pain, this product has kept me mobile, moderately pain-free, and able to care for my very active pre-toddler.
I definitely agree with ignoring the weight suggestions and buying a size up. At my smallest, I'm a size 8 with a G-cup bust, and pregnant left me a size 12-14 with a J-cup bust. "Small" just didn't seem possible. "Medium" was the right choice.

 Don't Waste your Money! Oct 17, 2007
By Tiffany Jackson
I was very excited to try this product. This is my second pregnancy, and my first daughter weighed 10 lbs 6 ozs, and I am not a very big woman. This pregnancy has been rough, my body seems to be worn out, and to beat it all, I work at a hospital and am on my feet for 12-13 hours a day. I thought the cradle would help, but it is just a jumble of elastic. It does not support like it claims and I did not even notice ANY difference in having it on. AND, you can see it under your top, I wore mine with my scrub tops and I peeped out of the shoulder area and all day people asked what it was. Not cool:-( Buyer beware...save your money!!!

Excellent twin support Sep 11, 2009
By J. Kranz
Around the 22 week mark of my twin pregnancy, I knew I needed some support for my ever-growing uterus. I found out about the Prenatal Cradle through a book on twins. I had tried several maternity belts out before & had to return them, as they did not provide enough support.
I found it easy to adjust to & comfortable to wear.
I am now almost 32 weeks pregnant, and I still wear my Prenatal Cradle Best Cradle every single day. If I don't wear it, I have more frequent contractions & both my belly and back hurt.
