So I have to recommend this belly band my assistant manager let me borrow. Its just a piece of stretchy fabric, kind of like a back brace that velcros in the front under your belly and then there are two velcro strips on the side that you use to make it tight. like 4 inches wide is all!

It works AWESOME at releaving pressure and helping w/your back. I've been having SO much pressure "down there" w/Little Liam and the normal back pains (not as bad as w/Izzy thank goodness!) and it is probably 110% better w/this band.

I also use a knock of "bella band" for my pants. Any one try those? I have yet to use a pair of maternity pants at work. I can wear my normal pants unbuttoned w/the band overtop. Also way cool

Just thought I'd share!!!

P.S. I can post a picture of that support band if anyone is curious. No idea where you can buy it. She got it at JC Penny's like 12 years ago...

I have the Bella Band (version of from Motherhood) and I HATE it. It constantly slips, and does nothing for holding up my pants or smoothing lines like it says it does.

I had a Bella band and it was GREAT LOVE it, I was able to wear a lot of my regular clothes unitl Autumn was born. Also after she was born I used it to cover my belly while I was nursing

I don't really like it w/my jeans, I have a lot of the same problems. But w/my black dress pants for work it's great. I HATE maternity dress pants. They always seem like clown pants to me.

And for some reason they're always too short!!! I feel like I look retarded and it bugs me all day. But w/jeans, yeah, I just wear the maternity jeans.

Wow. Thought you were pregnant again until I read Liam and I asked myself, "isn't that her baby's name?" Then I noticed the date, lol.
