Pre preggo jeans all prenancy with those belly bands?

I am hoping tonot have to buy jeans for maternity since i'm so tall that regular lengths don't fit me, they are way more expensive to get the added length! but i've heard some girls wear pre preggo jeans all pregnancy and leave them unbuttoned and unzipped. i bought a Bee Band at target and it helps so much for now to hold the pants up while undone..anyone else have an opinion on this.

am i just being dumb thinking i'll be able to wera them all pregnancy? lol

my grandma said youculdn't even tell seh was apreggo till month 7, so i'm hoping i will stay relatively small so i can save money!!!! such an issue with everything.

I am also tall at 5'9 and have found that maternity pants fit me great even in length! They tend to make them super long because they figure that once your belly gets huge it shortens the pants. Surprisingly all of my maternity pants are way too long for me and i'm 20 weeks. I'm sure you could use the Belly Band if you stayed smaller but they say if your small in the first two trimesters that you will pop in your third. Good luck!!

I got mine from Motherhood Maternity and Kohls. They were super long at both stores. You could probably also find some inexpensive used maternity clothes on Ebay or Craigslist. I had a friend give me her old maternity clothes and it was a godsend. It saved me a TON of $$.

I'm wearing my husband's clothes lol.  I have a few dresses and a couple of pants but I would prefer to wear trackies unless I go out.

I have the Bella band and love it it doesn't roll up for me. But I just bought a pair of pregnancy jeans and omg they are ssooooo comfy it's like wearing pajamas!!  Try looking online for a good discount. Or wear the Bella band until you can't wear them anymore :)

im 19 weeks and im still really small for 19 weeks but i noticed that even leaving my jeans unbuttoned while i was sitting down at my desk working was uncomfortable. i bought a pair of skinny jeans from motherhood maternity and they are very comfortable. the bee band or bella band should only be worn during the first couple of months or pregnancy.. after the first couple of months i suggest going to prego pants.

lol... i got a bee band as well at target... and till now it has helped with the pants, but it does roll up in the back (but that may also be thanks to my big butt, even though i am a small girl all over my legs hips and butt are a pretty good size for the rest of my body..) and i hope i can wear them all pregnancy since i lost so much weight i dont plan on gaining much.... but that can always change... so im working the beeband for now and just letting time tell...
