gah, my maternity pants still fall down, but it's not because I don't have a belly! It's just that they don't have much support where I'm used to (right at my hips) so they just sliiiiide down.  I've been wearing non maternity jeggings or yoga pants. 

here is a pick at about 27 and 5:

Story of my life!  I'm going to return the second pair of jeans I bought because I spend all day hiking the ones I have worn up off my butt.  Why can't maternity pants have belt loops at the hips or something?!

Either that or attached suspenders!

I just wear my Bella band over the top of my maternity jeans to keep them from sagging. it also does double duty to disguise my belly button under tight shirts. I forgot to wear it today and was hiking my pants up all morning, ugh. Still, I'm not terribly upset by that, because it means I haven't gained a ton in my hips and thighs (yet) which is my usual trouble spot.

Yup, I bought my bella band back in December thinking I'd wear it as a means of simply stretching out the usage of my regular pants.  I never would have guessed I'd still be using it at 6+ months to make my maternity pants fit!  In one sense I am glad that I am still using it - I am definitely getting good value out of the the bella band!  Honestly, until my belly really gets out there I suspect the bella band will be a wardrobe staple for quite some time to come.

I also use mine post partum to help with those akward "in between" times...they are priecier then what I would like, but I do get a lot of use out of them

I was at target today and bought a beband.  Hallelujah!  No more sagging pants!

25 and some change. My belly button is starting to disappear.

[RaeRae1109]

My belly button is starting to pop out too!  I love it!  Makes me giggle a little bit every time I see it.  My momma joked with me the other night about how it's good to have your belly button pop out, that way you can get it really clean.   Silly lady.

26 weeks, getting love from her brothers....one kissing on the left, one feeling for kicks on the right. :)

And a self portrait with DH in the background at his gym. I say it's a miracle we even pulled this pregnancy off given how glued we seem to be to our electronics. :P

Sweet mamma 34- that is an ironic picture. Could be titled "those things can do that to ya?"

Here's mine from today 23w3d ❤

I have taken to wearing men's underwear ... So comfy!
Week 24

[amlikam]

I wear men's under tanks instead of paying a fortune for maternity tanks. I wear tanks every day, a left over habit from my breast feeding days with dd. they are $12 for 4 or 5 vs $12-15 for one!!
The men's underpants look super cozy!! I have to wear a pad at this point, I wonder how they would hold in those?
All your bellies look wonderful!!

[shanna-cat]

Tenk I *love* the skirt you are wearing and your tummy looks so muscley! Quite a comparison to me in my (husbands) underwear!

i rarely wear underwear usually but when i'm pregnant i find i need to because i have so much more discharge. my dh got this package of underear for christmas but they were the wrong size and we just never took them back to exchange them. i found the package while doing laundry the other day and thought they just might fit me... now i'm hooked! they are athletic boxer briefs and hardly feels like i'm wearing anything at all. so much more comfortable then trying to fit into my somewhat skimpy regular undies.

(More than) half naked at 25 weeks. Apparently I'm still rocking the mean farmer's tan I got from working at a beach camp last summer. Awesome.
