It's a supportive, flexible band that pregnant women wear around their lower back and belly to help reduce backache. When my wife was pregnant, she ignored severe back pain until she could barely walk. Please don't ignore pelvic pain; use supportive bands and consult your gynecologist regularly.
Haan, it is a lifesaver during the third trimester, na! It is a stretchy belt that wraps under your belly to lift the weight and ease that terrible backache. It made going for daily walks so much easier for me.
Beta, it is like a soft belt that holds the heavy stomach during pregnancy to ease the pressure on your waist. In our days, we used a soft cotton saree to tie lightly for support. While these modern bands are good, always make sure you are resting enough and not lifting heavy things.
It is basically a compression band that supports your lower back and abdomen as your baby grows. It's great because it redistributes the weight and lets you stay active and do light exercises or walks comfortably. Just make sure the fit is supportive but not too tight.

My mother suggested using a maternity support band when my back started aching in the seventh month. It really helps support the lower back, but my doctor advised me not to wear it for more than a few hours a day so my core muscles don't get lazy. Better to ask your doctor once before using it.
