Abstract
One or more generally wedge shaped foam support cushions (20A, 20B) covered by a soft, washable, and close fitting material (29) for supporting an enlarged abdomen (24). The support cushions (20A, 20B) are uniquely and adjustably secured adjacent to the abdomen by hook and loop fasteners (22A, 22B, 22C, 22D) on an elastic belt (21). The elastic belt (21) encompasses the person (23) and the support cushions (20A, 20B) and has opposite ends that overlap and engage adjustably with hook and loop fasteners (22E, 22F).
