Poll: who's already wearing

Jamaicanlove · January 2009

the bella band or something similar? ?What are you wearing? When did you start? ?

None of my pants button anymore and the ones that do, are so uncomfortable. I think it's time.?

I am on days when the bloat is horrendous. I was already getting big for some of my clothes just b/c of weight gain and with the bloat, a few are just unbearable to button. I know it's early so it's just me getting fat. lol

I am doing ok so far during the day time. I have about 5 pairs that ride low enough that they aren't digging in yet. Unfortuantly I have a bit of a muffin top. Thank goodness for baggy tops. My guess is that I will most likely be investing in a bella band in the next few weeks.

I have the bella band and I wear it with a few pair of my pants. Mainly if they are tight in the morning, because I know by late afternoon that button will be coming undone!!

I'm carrying an possibly full-term bloat baby so I have been wearing the bella band whenever I wear a pair of pants that I can't get to button. I'm so much more comfortable when I wear it.

I carry all my weight in my hips and a$$, so most of my pants have a bit of room in the belly. I'm still wearing my regular pants...but my Bella Band is home waiting for me.

I have a Bella that I wear with a few pairs of pants. I'd say since week...10.

I started wearing a bella band at around week 8. I just popped out one day. I could close my pants, but why be uncomfortable? So I just stopped trying and I've been wearing the band ever since.

I've had the Bella band for two weeks now, love it! But, sadly, I'm already into maternity pants...sooooo much more comfortable. I found great "secret fit" pants at JC Penney and Motherhood Maternity. My mom got me a great pair at Ann Taylor Loft. I can BREATHE again!!! And, I don't have some huge elastic expanse around my middle that looks awkward...

I've started rubberbanding most of my pants. I ordered bella bands from Target this weekend and can't wait for them to get here.

Around 11 weeks I started having to use a bella band at times. Stupid bloat!

sare_bear · January 2009

I just started wearing mine yesterday because I didn't feel like squeezing my bloated tummy into a pair of jeans. Rubberbands are awesome too (with a long shirt/sweater)

theweathermanswife · January 2009

I can't button my jeans comfortably anymore, so I wear it almost all the time! I get to wear scrubs to work, so those are nice and comfy too (I love drawstrings!!), but otherwise I am wearing it.

MommyMeSoon2B · January 2009

I have the bella band.

I rubberbanded my pants for the longest with DD!! Hahaha, I am glad I am not the only ghetto one.

MattysGirl81 · January 2009

I bought 2 pairs of mat pants from Target around 12 weeks, but they're just the kind of an elastic waist, not with a full panel. I bought a bella band about a week ago and love it! I can actually wear my regular pants with it!

war_eagle · January 2009

Today was the first day I wore my pants unbuttoned. ? I think I'll officially break out the bella tomorrow.

Ree08.04.07 · January 2009

Yesterday was the first day I started wearing my BellaBand with my favorite pair of jeans that are evidently *a bit tight*. Ugh. Hopefully it's just the bloat rearing it's ugly head

weddedwife · January 2009

I have the "Tummy sleeve" which I guess is the same thing? I got it at Motherhood. I love it, I have been rubber-banding my pants since week 8! I don't look very big, I just feel HUGE. Uber bloated!

jwpbride · January 2009

Ok- I'm only 5 weeks and already my pants are getting tighter- the sad part? It's not even all bloat, it's a combo of bloat AND holiday weight gain (4 lbs since November)! That's one thing I didn't count on with a late December BFP- all the holiday eating followed immediately by bloat.

I used a hair band on my khakis for work today just so I could breath. haha Oh, I'm a fatty for sure!
