So tired of constantly pulling up my pants

Ugh. I hate that my belly pushes my pants down.

I also hate that my shirts are becoming too short. I don't want to buy new clothes to wear for just the next 5 weeks.

    Ugh I def know how you feel! Luckily I dont go out much anymore sinc eI dont work for now but when I do its ridiculous how often I have to pull my pants up or make sure my shirt is far enough down so nothing is exposed Confused

    I do have some dresses but I hate the slip on shoes, they give me blisters..wish dresses and sneakers were the trend ;D

    Amen.  A friend recently reminded me how much more you grow in the end, and I have forgotten/blacked it out.  Sigh.... Got a new stretch mark.  I make it right to the last 5-6 weeks, and then bam!

    Ugh. I am right there with you, I can't believe that my maternity shirts are getting too short! It makes me feel huge. I think I am going to buy a few dresses and live in those until I deliver!

    I've noticed this too recently, I must be bigger and the baby also seems to have dropped a little because I've got saggy butt going on with all my pants and extra fabric in the crotch cause they won't stay up.  "Pants on the ground" is what comes to mind.

    I'm with ya sister!  I broke down and bought two jersey dresses yesterday.  Then the weather didn't co-operate today so it's baggy a$$ pants again today.  Ugh.

    Me too... but in my case I think it's just my Motherhood maternity jeans that totally suck because my Gap maternity jeans don't need to be pulled up.  Ever.  I hear ya, though...

    I HATED this so bad during my first pregnancy. But this time I picked up a belly band early on at Target and I wear it everyday...not to use regular pants unbuttoned but to hold my pants up! It works GREAT.

    I completely agree. All my clothes make me feel fug and my husband has told me several times to buy different pants because they are so unflattering.

    However, I keep reminding myself to be practical and not spend money on clothes that won't be worn more than some weeks.

    I feel your pain.  Even if I wear my Beband, they fall down.  So fricking annoying!

    I feel the same way.  I live in Arizona and it's getting hot so I've been having a really hard time because it's too hot to wear my pants that I bought in the winter but I don't want to spend money on maternity capris and shorts, so I decided to just buy dresses because I will be able to wear them for the summer after LO is born, so I don't feel like I'm wasting money on clothes I won't be able to wear in 2 months.

    And here I thought I was the only one!  :-)

    Step-n-hitch. Step-n-hitch. Step tug tug.  Step-n-hitch.

    I actually considered getting suspenders, but they were too stretchy and showed under my shirts!  I cannot wait to wear zippered pants and will never take them for granted again!!!

    Well, at this point, I literally wear one pair of black yoga pants every single day. I'm not kidding. Nothing else fits except for a maxi dress and it's still too cold for that. I have 3 shirts that fit over my belly and I rotate those. I do have one pair of khakis that I can wear if I absolutely must look somewhat nice, but they're uncomfortable too. I have never felt so unfashionable in my life, but I refuse to buy new clothes to wear for 3-4 weeks.

    DITTO!  It's finally warming up here and I have all winter maternity tops with maybe 4-5 maternity t-shirts.  I am going to be wearing the same tops every day to work because I also refuse to buy new clothes for such a short time.

    I'm with you on all of that! I refused to buy any more clothes after week 30....I've been suffering wearing the same things every week, but it seems like such a waste to buy more maternity clothes this late!

    This exactly. I had the same problem it was driving me crazy to the point I bought maxi dresses so I didnt have to wear jeans.

     I talked to the lady @ motherhood, she suggested I buy a bella band type thing, I can now wear my maternity jeans all day and not pull them up once!!!!!! Amazing. Worth the extra $, especially since I wont be back down to normal size for a few months after baby.....

    My shirts are still ok for now, though I still have 11 more weeks. My pants however are a different story. They are always falling down and it is so annoying readjusting them ALL the time! They slide down so much that u can see the blue belly part hanging out from my shirt! I can't wait til it gets a little warmer, then I will just throw on a stretchy dress or skirt everyday! Lol!
