The tops do look the same as what I wear too! BUT what happens with the tops we currently have is they seem to get short! Maternity tops are usually longer so when the boobs and belly grow they get a little shorter but still cover nicely. I just ordered some maternity pants over the weekend. I have a few pairs (since I was pregnant about two years ago) but I need a few more. The bella band doesn't seem to be working this time. My jeans are just to uncomfortable.
Oooh! That's good to know. I hadn't thought that far ahead yet. lol I'm not sure how I'll feel about the belly band and my normal pants either, but I have a friend that wants to give me hers, so I'm more then willing to try it out!
Haha, I work at a library so I'm ALWAYS looking at a baby name books, pregnancy books, and anything else related!
I actually don't know what my body's problem is... I have always had irregular cycles, but never odd enough to alert my gyno. After 2 months of TTC, I never got a single positive on OPKs. I went to the doctor, they drew a ton of blood and checked EVERYTHING. All was well, so I made an appointment with an infertility specialist. She suspected PCOS for me because of the irregularity, but I don't have any other symptoms. She did an internal ultrasound to determine if it was PCOS and during that ultrasound she saw that my right ovary was about to ovulate! She told us to dtd the next 2 days. She said no PCOS, just kind of wonky hormones. She said I do ovulate, but my levels aren't right to be picked up with OPKs. So, it's pretty amazing that I'm pregnant! I could have made that appointment any other day and it would have been too soon to tell or too late and I would have ovulated!
I live in So. Cal too! In the San Bernardino mountains! Small, small world!
That's so awesome that the timing worked out like that! Sounds meant to be to me. I used to live right by the San Bernardino Mountains in the San Fernando Valley (oh yes.... I'm a valley girl... lol). I'm a bit further south now, but still within a couple of hours drive of you.
I'm in SoCal too, right on the border of the OC and LA County.
You are right in my area then! My bro and SIL live just on the other side of the LA/OC border from us. How cool that so many of us live near each other!
