Clothing / Maternity Clothing / Bella Band for your expanding belly

Finding pants that fit comfortably while pregnant is very difficult.  Bella bands are bands that you can wear around your tummy to enhance the fit of your pants while you are pregnant. 

This band is like a tube top, and fits around your waist.  At the beginning of your pregnancy when you are barely squeezing out of your regular jeans you can leave your jeans unbuttoned and wear the Bella Band to help keep them up.  When you first start wearing maternity pants and they are still a little big, the Bella Band can help keep them around your waist. 

One of the things I liked most about the Bella Band was that when you pull it down far enough it simply looks like a layer under your shirt, which is rather stylish.   This is great, because the bigger you get, the shorter your shirts get and Bella Bands can really help you from feeling too exposed.  They even offer different colors.

I did find it difficult to keep my Bella Band in place once my belly got too big.  It tends to roll down a bit unless you really hike it over your belly which was a little uncomfortable to me.  Another drawback was the price.  I couldn't help but think the profit margin on these is really high. 

When you order your Bella Band, you will get a little magnet that has a flower on it that says "yes, you are beautiful."  It is really important for a pregnant gal to be reminded of this, so I thought it was clever and insightful to include something like this with a maternity product.

  • I remember seeing these in a magazine when I was pregnant. I wondered how comfortable they were. Maybe if we have another baby I will have to try these!

  • I always wondered how well these worked. I didn't have one with my first, but I may have to get one the next time around,
