my clothes are shrinking...!

I'm out growing my jeans and work clothes but I'm not big enough for maternity clothes yet...any suggestions? Anyone ever heard of the "belly band," if so, does it actually help keep your pants on!

my jeans were tight before getting pg and with this bloating they don't fit one bit- my work pants are still good but i had nothing to wear on the weekends, so i went out this weekend and bought myself a belly band and it was the best investment ever- i think i can get away with this for a while now without having to buy maternity pants til way later in pregnancy!

it does keep your pants on - i thought it wouldn't but it does! they are unbuttoned and unzipped and they stay up! i got mine out of a maternity store (destination maternity-a  mimi branch?) i love the fact that it smooths the pants down too so you can't see a line- it's amazing, never thought it would work..

Belly band works well for me. If you're too cheap for that, the old rubber band around your pant buttons works for a little while.

Motherhood's version is called the Tummy Sleeve... I think it's a bit cheaper than the Bella Band and it works. I still use it to keep my maternity jeans up.
