And yes, Bella Bands are excellent!
I got a lot second hand...and they're gorgeous! Thyme has great clothes. Super expensive, but so cute. If you can get them consigned or from friends its great.
I wear bella bands the brand name so to speak cause they have the elastic around the bottom so it never slid up i have seen off brands that slide up when you bend Over and I leave my jeans Un buttoned I only have 4 but don't need anymore than that. I ordered some maternity shirts from motherhood.com got six for 80 dollars and best thing was I got a car package that had car seat canopy baby sling udder cover and boppy pillow coupons where you only pay shipping clothing coupons baby clothing coupons bunches of stuff so I find that totally worth it I am 27 weeks pregnant and no maternity pants yet so If you can recommend them
Asos.com have cute clothing if you don't mind ordering things.
I hate them too. I've been living in dresses, tights & long shirts. My belly got really big with this pregnancy & nothing fits anymore. So I had to try the maternity clothes... hated them. Trying to find something cute & comfy is so hard.
They have really cute stuff! It's just expensive for the short time you'll be wearing them. I got all my maternity clothes at Goodwill and they were target brand, motherhood, gap. And my friend.let me borrow hers. I got two pants of jeans on ebay for 20bucks that were target brand. II've bought one new maternity item, a new shirt for my baby shower. Everything else I bought used or borrowed. I'm a CNA and do homecare and all my scrubs are.too small. I have one top that fits and my.boss got me a bigger size of scrub pants at Goodwill, other than that my boss lets me wear yoga pants or sweats. One of my coworker lost weight so she.bought me a couple large shirts from maurices to get me.through the last few weeks. I'm due in 18 days and didn't have but a few t.shirts since it's getting warmer and I'm.not. buying anything. I.did score a few maternity tanks from Goodwill.l the other day.
