Bought my first pair of capris today because of all the damn bloat. I have to tell you ladies- maternity wear is the most comfy stuff ever though. I felt 110% better wearing them.
I'm already wearing a couple of tops I've found over the past year or so at Target on clearance. They aren't obviously maternity, though...just nice and comfy! However, I did place a big order with JC Penney last week--waiting for it to get here so I can start wearing some maternity pants!

Losses 5/13, 8/13, and 3/14.
Expecting another GIRL! Carter Grace due on 12/25.
Thankfully I had lost a good 10 pounds before the BFP so alot of my bottoms were already looser, so I'm getting longer out of them. I have been looking at a bella band though because by the end of the evening I'm sitting with my capris undone!

I'm not yet. I must say, I absolutely HATE mat pants. They don't stay up well and the crotch ends up hanging around my knees or I am pulling them up ALL. DAY. LONG.
I am trying to hold out as long as possible. Lucky for me I don't have much bloat.

LOVE the Bella Band, I wore it until I was six months with DS the best invention for pregnant women ever! I will definitely be getting another one when the time comes.

Well, I have gained 50 pounds in the last year...and so some of my pants were already tight before getting pregnant. I have had some friends give me mat pants and I bought a few for a dollar at a local consignmentlike store. So I have worn them a couple of times. They are super comfortable!

I gained like 15 lbs over the past year so a lot of my pants were too tight to begin with. I'm already wearing the bella band with some of them, but I have one pair of pants, capris and jeans that still have a bit of room, and some dresses that will last me a while, so I'm really going to try to hold out til 2nd tri!

I've had m/s and have been unbuttoning my jeans with the hairband trick, just because tight jeans on an upset stomach are no good. But otherwise, everything else is still ok....thinking about getting a bella band though. Color suggestions? Black or white?

MrsJanks- do you like the bella band? Is it worth getting one? Where did you get it? They have black and white at Target- any suggestions?
