Is it safe to wear a girdle in the first trimester ?

Not: a good answer for that one. We recommend belly bands in the 3 rd trimester to help with back and hip pains. But those are pretty elastic. So if the girdle is not overly constricting, I would say it is ok. Not really any studies I know of that addresses that subject
