Need a little support for that baby bump? You aren't alone. 

Women's bodies go through a lot of changes and growth during pregnancy. Due to the additional weight from the growth of their babies in their wombs, women may suffer from back pain which can be frustrating — in worst cases excruciating — when doing even everyday activities.

Thankfully for mums, there are exercises and tools that can help them alleviate this pain. And one of this is to wear a belly band.

Belly bands are created for the very purpose of giving women support for their lower backs and baby bumps during day-to-day activities. This helps decrease the overall pain from doing these activities while they are pregnant. 

But not all belly bands are created equal. From the material used to how much support it provides, belly bands come in many varieties which can make it tricky for mums to choose the right and the best ones. 

Not to fret. We are here to help. Here we've listed the six best pregnancy belly bands in Singapore and tell you exactly why they might just be what you are looking for.
