dumb question

Ok this may seem silly. So I finally bought a belly band thing. I like it because I feel like I get some support and it helps my back problems. But today with my pants I am wearing and the belly band, it feels tight. Could that hurt the baby? Or is it just more of a comfort thing to me?

Pretty sure it's not hurting the baby, but if you are uncomfortable you should change.

Do those bands ride up or down on you? Where did you buy it?

Because of my big butt, they ride up LOL. I bought it at Babies R Us so its not a true belly band name. I believe it was called a maternity support band. Im going to see if I can losen it or stretch it out a little

Are your pants undone??   The belly band is like a belt that holds your pants up.   If it hurts, you may want to try going to materinity pants.  I bought a pair of jeans and they are comfortable.  I wear my regular work pants with the belly band right now.

I wear my band with maternity pants, to help keep them up since they ride down. Yours will probably loosen a bit the more you wear it, but the discomfort may be coming from your regular pants. I am having a hard time getting dressed each day, I feel like I am in between regular and maternity clothes. Nothing really fits. Good luck and hopefully your band will help you soon!
