I started developing it early from bloating. I agree, Google searches were really unhelpful because in addition to almost everyone getting it, I couldn't find anything to support it during pregnancy; everything seemed to start at postpartum.
After talking to my doctor and sisters, they recommended this support belt which has been monumental in stopping the progression in its tracks.
I've also stopped lifting anything over 15lbs, and am really mindful of not using my abs (like getting out if bed or the car. I now roll on my side and walk myself up with my hands to sit up.)
I'm only 14 weeks but my DR was getting so bad I couldn't stand up straight because I felt like I was going to rip in half. I've been really diligent making these changes and feel vastly better already about a week later.
Edited: typos on mobile, sorry!
I've never used one, but if you search for belly support band or something like that, amazon has options. This one has good reviews and the answers have opinions from people that say they've used it for running. I haven't noticed any bouncing of my belly when running yet at 17+4.
I went through a couple of belts before I found this one which I love.
Note: The top belt is supposed to help hold it in place. I’ve never used it and it’s always worked fine.
Similar size as you and I got this one in a medium: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GO2Q2YA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AhyIybGA2EHC3
That's the style my midwife recommended. The band that goes across the top is optional for extra support but I don't ever use it as it doesn't seem necessary.
