I feel like my pants are strangling me

Guess I got too comfortable wearing maternity pants the last 2 days, I wore a regular pair today and now I feel like I've got a boa constrictor around my waist.

    I tried but they're a hook & bar closure so it didn't work. I'm about to put my fleece on & zip it up so I can unbutton my pants Embarrassed

    I've given up on regular pants.  My maternity pants aren't staying up right because all my bloat is gone, but I can't bring myself to put on regular pants.

    I just bought my beband yesterday and it is the greatest invention EVER! They are on sale at Target for $14.95 and worth every penny!

    I think I'm going to jump on that train w/you. I was fine until I ate lunch. Now, not so much.

    See I have one but it is constantly rolling down. Is there a magic trick to it? Last time I wore it, I ended up tucking it into my underwear lol.

    BF keeps trying to convince me to get a pair of maternity pants.  I would rather just wear dresses for the rest of my pregnancy.  Well haven't done any laundry so all I have clean are pants.  I should have listened to him.  We gave up trying to zip/button my pants this morning.  I have on a long shirt w/my pants wide open, LOL.

    Sounds like it might be too small? Or too big, but I'm thinking if it's rolling down it's too small. What size did you get?

    Same, although I folded down my demi panel today and that helped.

    I folded my beband in half and it stayed in place better.  Without it, I would have flashed some serious bum-crack at all the guys on game night -- small bump + low-rise jeans + shirt not long enough = 3/4 moon, yikes!

    Long, long shirts are a lifesaver when your pants won't button and you don't have maternity pants.

    When it's all said and done, what matters most is your relationships with other people; without good friends and family, what's the point?

    Screw pants - they are not comfortable no matter what I do. I have been living in leggings.

    Give in and buy some GOOD maternity pants!  You won't regret it!  They are SOOOOOO comfy and there for a reason!  By far my all time favorite are the secret pannel jeans from Motherhood Maternity.  I've tried other cheaper immitations, and they are just that, cheaper immitations!  Get something good and comfy and enjoy it! :)  For my last pregnancy I told my hubby I was going to wear them forever they were so great! haha

    I hear you! I was comfy in my favourite jeans with a rubber band and bellaband yesterday. Tried it for the first time and besides feeling like I was adding to the size of my bump, it was pretty comfy!

    Using the rubber band trick wasn't comfortable for me, plus it looked lumpy through my shirt. I bought the BeBand and I think that's a good alternative to lengthen the life of your regular pants.

    I am wearing my first pair of maternity pants today and I am in HEAVEN.  As far as I'm concerned that is the way to go!
