5 weeks and none of my pants fit..

I was already bloated in the 2ww but this past week NONE of my pants fit. I have to keep the button open on all of them! My mom found one pair of stretch waist pants for me in Macys. I'm a little early for maternity...how about a belly band? Would they work with my old pants?

    welcome to the club, my dear! yes, a bella band would help in this case. here's the best way to wear one:

    slide the band on around your waist/hips, then put pants on and zip as far as you can, then fold band over on top of pants. the band will stay put better and you'll be comfy!

    I was just saying I need to go get a belly band. The estrace is making me so bloated I can't button my pants. Thanks for the tip!

    You can also find them on ebay.

    I ordered mine at Target online as they didn't have them in stores yet. I've noticed that they have them in the maternity section now.

    I've also found a bunch of really cute ones on etsy. Pretty much the same price as a regular bella band.

    I'm wearing one right now!  I got the Be Band from Target; they are made by the makers of the Bella Band, so I assume they are the same thing.

    I had this problem too! I used the target be band for a bit then I got some of the no belly maternity pants. MUCH better and I think I will use them for a while. They have buttons to make them bigger. I also had OHSS so I think it was bit more severe but I didn't want people to 'see' the maternity part until I was ready. GL!?
