    Abstract: A torso support for pregnant women includes abdominal, breast and back support panels and laterally extending upper and lower elastic strips. The upper strip extending along a junction of the lower edge of the breast support panel and the upper edge of the abdominal support panel, and the lower elastic strip extending around a bottom edge of the abdominal support panel adjacent a waist opening of the torso support, are stretchable in only a lateral direction. A pair of shoulder straps extending from an upper portion of the breast support panel to a central upper region on a back of the torso support define neck and shoulder openings. The back support panel has a hexagonal configuration and tapers in width from a widest upper portion to a narrower lower portion. Side edges of the back support panel extend in conformance with arcuate peripheral edge portions of the shoulder openings. Ends of the upper strip are secured to central regions of lateral edges of the back support panel.
