Help! My Pants Don't Fit!
Guest blog submitted by Kim
Today I'm very grateful for the Bella Band, which is basically a seamless elastic band you wear over your waist to keep your pants up when they are unbuttoned. The top button did not get buttoned this morning, nor will it for quite some time. In fact, the second button is only going to last for so long. Eventually the zipper will be down, too, but who cares because the Bella Band hides it all! I ordered it online weeks ago, and I'm glad I had the intelligence to order it early because I never expected to be using it already.
When I looked in the mirror this morning, I realized the bump had arrived. Granted I didn't have a rock hard stomach before, but it was basically flat (especially considering I had dropped about five pounds early on). Now I'm looking forward to looking pregnant instead of a) slightly overweight; b ) extremely bloated; or c) looking like I have extremely bad posture.
Bump at 5 weeks (basically the "before" shot) and then today at 8 1/2 weeks:
Have you ever heard of the Bella Band? Is there anything you use to keep your pants up when your baby bump is in the way?

I actually heard of the Bella Band it heard it was good. and that its wonderful to have. Before reading this post I thought I at least had until 3 mths to start showing but I guess I need to order my bella band right now!
I didn't get a bella band. Instead, I got what I now call my second trimester pants with the demi-panel. Then when I hit the third trimester, I move into my full-panel pants. Hindsight being 20/20, I probably should have gotten a bella band.
They didn't have this when I had my babies, I wish they did. it seems incredibly convenient.
I've heard of it, but skipped it and just went for the maternity jeans and capris. Now I'm really glad I did...I was messing around the other night and tried on my old jeans for giggles; at 33 weeks, after gaining 17 pounds, they wouldn't go up beyond mid-thigh!
I wouldn't count on your new friend long-term!
I've never heard of the bella band....
but my mom actually makes it tho. When she was pregnant she made a cloth that she wore half under her pants that helped keep them up.
lol interesting.
I was going to get one of those, but never did because somehow I fit in my pants for a long time, and after that I had those panels in the maternity pants I wore.
I had one (well actually two.. one black, one white). I LOVED it! I used it my whole pregnancy, and I got huge!!! I never really fit in maternity clothes.. all the stuff I tried on, was huge in the thighs and butt, so the band was great for me.. I did end up buying a pair of bigger jeans, but still used the band with it.. Those jeans turned out to be great transition jeans for me after I had my daughter.
In other words, it was money well spent for me!!!
Oh and when i say huge, i mean huge.. I was at least 2-3 times the size of the lady with the band on in the picture... and the band still fit..
I LOVED my Bella Band. I liked it because I didn't have to buy a whole new pants wardrobe. Also, maternity jeans tend to fit me really baggy in the thighs and butt. I wore it after I had my baby too, to help hide the mommy pooch!
With my first two pregnancies I wore my regular jeans BUTTONED the whole time!!!
Its a great thing Im sure!! Ill be getting one if I decide to have #4!!
I got fat on my thighs in my first trimester, so I couldn't fit into my regular jeans anyway. I just wore maternity ones.
I had one and I thought it was OK. My friend who was pregnant at the same time used rubber bands which is what I switched to. I told her I was going to by button extenders and she told me not to waste my money and use rubber bands.
I didn't really need it until I was 4 months along any way. After that I just bought bigger pants. I never wore maternity pants.
The girls at work were talking about this and everyone has said it's a great thing to have. I guess they actually sell them at our mall so I can just pick one up when I start needing it. I should probably take a "before" picture too, but I hate feeling fat and I sure don't want to document it in pictures!! Though I have measured myself and I'm keeping track of it that way in my pregnancy journal thing.
I heard about these just the other day and was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative. Although, if it really replaces buying a whole new pants wardrobe it would be worth it. Can you really wear regular pants throughout your pregnancy with this band?
