Bloat. I am almost at 7 weeks and needed one starting last Sunday because none of my work pants fit! They all just fit with no room to grow before though. My weekend clothes still fit but those are a bit more loose anyways.

Yes! ?I hate mine too! ?It might be b/c I have the brand from Motherhood and it is not an official "bella band". ?When I unbutton my pants and put it on over, it is not smooth at all. ?You can see the lumps from the button and zipper. ?Unless I am wearing it wrong, it is not working for me at all!

I loved mine. I started wearing it at 5 weeks too because I was still hopped up on so many hormone injections and super bloated. Hey, if it helps you be more comfy, then great. If not - don't use it! There are so many inexpensive empire waist summer dresses or elastic waist skirts that you could easily live in those. I know I still am!

I look like i have MAJOR muffin top with mine. or maybe it's just weight gain. hahahaha

Yes I hate it with a passion, I have only worn it 2x at work and I spent the whole day in the bathroom adjusting the damn thing. So I started using rubber bands instead and I am going to by some maternity stuff this weekend.

Yes, Yes, and Yes!!!! Everyone told me how great they were. I went out and bought one and absolutely hated it. It was so uncomfortable. Not something I would recommend:(

I had this issue...try putting the band on first, pull your pants up and button/zip as far as they will go and then fold the top of the bella band down over your pants. It's smoother, and it won't roll on you like it does if you put it on over your pants.

I haven't bought one and I'm thinking at this point I'm just going to wear elastic waist skirts and empire waist dresses until I have to buy maternity clothes.?

Tara Ell · June 2009

so not a fan. it's uncomfortable and girdle-like, not to mention it looks bumpy and I'd rather just wear maternity jeans.

dbos99 · June 2009

Thanks kiki4, I will definitely try that!
