I've been on the fence about wearing full maternity clothes at this stage. Although I guess I'm not technically "showing" yet, the bloat makes most of my pants impossible to wear without the belli band. I went to Bealls Outlet and got a pair of black pants for work, for $9! They are SO comfortable - much better than wearing my pre-preg. pants unbuttoned and unzipped and worrying about the belli band rolling up. I'm as cheap as it comes, so I wanted to stretch my clothes out as long as possible, but now I'm glad I took the plunge. Comfort is a wonderful thing!
Oh, and they also allow me to wear more of my pre-preg. shirts because I don't have to worry about them being long enough to cover the belli band.
Bealls Outlet had tons of jeans and some shirts too. If you have a card for the "Friday Club" (which is free, just ask for it) you can get an additional 15% off on Fridays.
Re: Maternity pants rock!
I said those exact words at dinner last night!?
