when do you get a belly band?

banole · March 2013

Has anyone gotten a belly bend yet? I did yesterday at 7 weeks. It feels so comfortable and I love it but I feel weird using it since I'm so early in pregnancy... I know this sound silly but I kind of feel like I am waiting for a card in the mail that's going to say " your officially pregnant you now how permission to where maternity clothes and eat pickles with ice cream".

LOL. No card will come.

Just do what feels comfortable. I never used a belly band with DS. I prefer the maternity tanks or just a tight fitting stretchy tank in the beginning. I switched to maternity clothes at about 12 weeks with DS. I think I

haha! Yea I am in the same boat. i have already been wearing the maternity tops because the ones from Target don't look like maternity just more comfortable. I haven't picked up the belly bands quite yet but I probably will by the end of the week and I am

I have one! I love it/needed it because of the bloating some of my pants were too snug so much more comfortable not to make myself squeeze into them!

Last time I didn't get the belly band until I was already in the 2nd tri and wearing maternity cloths (it was a gift). I did end up using it after the baby is born. I remember using the rubber band trick, but I don't remember when that started.

I hated it....if the pants don't fit, they cut right into your lower belly and make it uncomfortable. I personally hated pants while pregnant, even maternity pants. I lived in long dresses and skirts

I don't need it yet but I will probably get one in my 12th week. The first thing I have gotten is a nursing/maternity bra, I have gone from a C to a D and I'm only 7 weeks!

After how bloated I looked (and feel) in the mirror this morning...may get one sooner than later lol

mcgowanp1 · March 2013

I got one about a week & half ago; my pants had just gotten to tight. I wasn't sure the belly band was going to work but used it all last week and it worked great. I ordered two more online (black and beige) since my Target doesn't seem to keep or hav

I bought one yesterday after wearing jeans to my In-laws and having to unbutton as soon as I left.

I can't wait to get home and put on yoga pants and sports bras. I want to buy a bigger bra but scared to invest encase I get bigger

I am in love with my yoga pants now! They are the only thing that is comfortable with all this bloating!

mamabird8 · March 2013

I started wearing mine at 5 weeks.

I just turned 8 weeks and started wearing a bella band a couple days ago because the bloat has been so uncomfortable lately. I'm actually looking forward to wearing maternity clothes and having a cute, big ol' bump. Still a ways to go though!
