Announcement/Heartbeat/Question

megheavlow · August 2013

Here was our announcement

we did it last week. I'm 11 weeks and totally feeling it!! We heard the heartbeat last week, the baby was just fluttering away. The heart rate was 185, I think it's a girl

Has anyone tried wearing maternity pants yet? Today, I look and feel utterly pregnant. I mean if I could post a pic of that, I totally would lol. But I'll spare all of you

this belly band is not working out for me. I just bought my first pair of maternity pants. And I don't want to take them off. I feel like the baby can breathe. Please let me know if I'm crazy!!

Cute announcement! I'm 11 wks also and have had maternity pants on for over a week now lol. Just way more comfortable! I'm planning something similar when I hear the heartbeat again this week

I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow and I've been wearing maternity pants/shirts for weeks! I also went from a C to DD so none of my normal shirts fit. The Bella Band is a great idea, but went I wear anything tight I have cramps so maternity pants it is!

I think all pants should be made like maternity pants. Our society would suffer from so much less muffin top. My heart rate at 9.5 weeks was 181 and they told me today that they're 90% sure it's a boy. Heart rate means nothing except for healthy baby!

Oh wow, that definitely puts a turn in things!!! Well I guess there's a 50/50 shot lol. Maternity pants are so great. I feel like I can do anything lol.

This is me, too. I bought a bella band, but can't handle anything tight. I've already been wearing one pair of maternity pants, and I"m only 9 weeks. Even not pregnant, I've always gotten stomach aches when my pants fit too tight. I did buy a few stretchy cotton skirts from Old Navy (not maternity) that have been great for getting through this in-between time.

> I went from DDD to F long ago. I have come to grips and am just glad they don't seem to be growing more yet. That happened super quick

Second, I am wearing maternity pants right now, and I have no idea why we fight against elastic so badly. I can stretch and lunge, and sit comfortably. My pencil skirt would not zip. sad day, I have 4 in different colors and I love them and wear them all the time...
