Is that what you're talking about? Looks interesting- it would be nice not to have to keep my shirt un-tucked at work because I can't button my pants! Will definitely look into these.

I have one, but it is shaped to fit right through pregnancy so it is a little big at the top still. But I got mine second hand (love eBay!) so no biggie.

I had bump bands with my first they are great, I lent them to my cousins wife though & never got them back

And you probably never will! >.<

I invested in a belly band I got it from Target for only $16 and is was a wonderful investment. Although at 10 weeks everything is pushing up and its hard for my size 4's to even slide up over my hips anymore, so I think I will soon be looking into maternity jeans, but I love it I can't wait to have a baby belly

Same problem here...jeans have become super loose on hips where I've lost a little weight, but tight on the tummy area.
Been living in leggings and horse-riding style trousers for the last few weeks as they have elasticated waists - will invest in some proper maternity trousers when I'm further along

I have got maternity jeans, linen trousers and black trousers for work. also got a white pregnancy band and some tops too.

I have just put on my bra and OMG its tight around the back and my boobs look MASSIVE!!

i'm a 38D what should i go upto next tho? xx

Can i ask what dietary change you made? I am so bloated and not as regular as before! I am eating soooo much fruit, pro biotic yogarts with figs!! water, water water. i don't eat meat anyway, so fish and pulses and veg is my mainstay. I did ahve a cheese binge last week which I have put a stop to!! I am running most days i can, if not i am walking for an hour in the evening. All of this in an attempt to shift the bloat and get my digestion moving a little as I find it so uncomfortable! any tips would be greatly appreciated

....ooooh....cheese..... *snaps back* Sorry, I think I just had a pregnancy craving. Will be going to the store for some sharp cheddar later (or sending OH )

Speaking of digestion- mine seems to be working SO much better now that I'm pregnant! I used to have a lot of problems b/c of a slow digestive tract (ever wake up with a "lump" in your stomach from undigested food that clumped together?! UGH!!!). TMI Warning: My poo is looking healthy for the first time in a long time. Normally I'm either constipated or have diarrhea.

It might have been my diet, though. I was such a sweet-head before I got pregnant- now I hardly want anything sweet unless its a fruit....or a fudgesicle. Can't get enough of those fudgesicles. The thought of any other sweet stuff makes me want to gag. I miss my sweets

PS: My diet IS much better now, though...like I said I find my body refusing sweets (yesterday I couldn't even eat an orange! I cried and put it in the fridge...ate it this morning). I've completely cut out soda except for sprite, 7up, or the occasional cream soda or root beer and that seems to settle the sweet craving. Mostly I've been drinking juice and water- and eating a lot of fruit, chex mix, and nuts (particularly pistachios) lately. I also tend to reel at the smell of fried foods (THANK YOU, McDonald's -_- )

I pretty quickly had to skip on my jeans- I think jeans are kind of uncomfortable to begin with, but my stomach is just so sensitive to the pressure and with a little extra bloating some days it makes it worse (also the nausea started really early for me). I also have retired a bunch of my bras already, too- they just hurt to wear- only my biggest, comfiest ones will do.
