Pregnancy support belt - make a sewing pattern?

Lately I've been wondering about pregnancy support belts. I've looked for sewing patterns online and I can't find any...so I think I should make a pregnancy support belt pattern!
As my comfort in this pregnancy decreases, I am finding that I would LOVE to have an 'extra set of hands' holding my belly up. I think a pregnancy support belt is my ticket to comfort. Maybe.
I've looked at some versions online that are for sale and they look like more of a CONTRAPTION then a support....not to mention they are EXPENSIVE! Holy moly!
I think that a pregnancy support belt might be the only way I could stay on my feet for longer periods of time, and I also think it would be a great way to help hold up the maternity pants (I can't keep them up no matter what I do!).
Any thoughts on this?

  2. I know this was posted a while ago, but I would love if you had a pattern for one of those! I've got a bad back from an injury in high school, and its making the third trimester of pregnancy a real challenge! Were you ever able to make a pattern? :)

  3. I never did make one. I didn't have anyone that commented until now. I may end up doing this in the future...but I'm sorry that it can't help you now. :(
