I'm 8 weeks prego and already showing! I either need to go buy some maternity pants or buy a bellaband. I've never used a bellaband and wanted to know if it's actually a product worth getting!! Any advice would be great! :)
I have a couple thoughts on this. First, the band didn't work well for me because I'm very short-waisted and it would roll up every time I bent or twisted at the waist. Second, lucky women who can keep wearing regular pants so far into pregnancy--especially a second pregnancy. I'm jealous! I gain 10 lbs more than my first and it wasn't just around my middle...
YES YES YES!!!! It costs about as much as 1 pair of maternity pants and will allow you to keep wearing all your regular pants :) I wore mine ALL the time.
I'm 27 weeks pregnant and I wear mine almost every day. I have 2 from Motherhood Maternity, they were about $15 each and I love them. I can still wear my regular pants, I just zip them halfway, leave them unbuttoned and pull the band over the top to keep them up. My maternity tops are all long enough that you can't tell the band is there and it has saved me having to buy lots of maternity clothes. This is my second pregnancy, I also used the bands with my first, and they were great for after delivery and for nursing, you can lift your shirt up and your belly is still covered. I would definitely say get one!
I am SO glad you asked this question. I am only a few weeks in too and already feel like certain pants are getting tight! (Darn the second pregnancy!) Motherhood Maternity also makes one that got great reviews and is half the cost of the Bellaband. I think I may go that route and buy 2 different colors. Good luck with your pregnancy too!
Hated mine. I had to adjust mine all day. It would roll up or down and shift. Very annoying.
it may work for some people but it hurt my stomach
I read your responses and I think Im going to get one too. Just wanted to let you know, I saw them at Target in the maternity clothes section.
It's great for the weird in-between periods, both in pregnancy and after.
Get one, you'll thank me later. I LOVED that thing!
I LOVED mine, I got white and black and they were great, so I didn't have to buy maternity pants multiple times (seasons will change during the pregnancy, so what you buy now, probably won't cut it in the spring/summer). Also, at the end of my pregnancy, I got the bands back out as extra support for my stomach, it really helped without having to buy something else. Congrats!!
