  I've been wearing my BeBand for about the last week.  Work pants aren't too bad, but jeans are no fun by the end of the day.  The band makes it much more comfortable.

  I find it way more awkward that I thought I would - going to the bathroom all day long, readjusting. I'm now partial to the elastic band through the button hole trick. And wearing my first pair of actual maternity pants!

  I started wearing some maternity pants about 8 weeks since I was just so bloated and uncomfortable, particularly at work!

  That's exactly what happened to me (also during week 15).  I was actually traveling that week and I had tried on all my pants the day before I left to make sure they fit before I packed them.  Three days into the trip, I couldn't button them anymore!  Thank goodness I had also packed the BeBands just in case!

  That works with some of my jeans, but my work pants don't have regular button/button hole type closure, they have those hook ones.  But that's a great trick too!

  I wore the be bands for about a week and then suddenly I couldn't even pull my jeans up over my butt anymore.  I am only 15w and I've been in full on mat clothes for a couple weeks already!  I'm having twins so I keep telling myself that it's not too early to be this big already.

  I had to give in at 10 weeks I was so bloated. I'm glad I did though as the rubberband trick wasn't cutting it. The full panels are so comfortable and freeing
