Ann -
That's wonderful. If you have any questions or concerns over which one,
etc., please feel free to email me at anonymous@obgyn.net. I didn't know
anyone who wore it before I did, so I had to research all by myself. Good
luck.

Thank you so much for all the info, you have been very helpful. I live
in Michigan, so I will have to do my own research to find someone out
here. My hubby recently told me that if it makes me feel better than he
doesn't care how much it cost he just wants to make me happy.
