What is the hair band trick or bella bands?

I'm just average weight 135.

I think the hairband trick is to put one end of a hairband/ponytail holder around the button of your pants/shorts, pass the other end through the button hole, and then put it around the button. Gives you a little leeway in the waist area.

My biggest problem is the crotch thing, though I think I had that problem before. I just can't stand having seems rub my girlie bits. I haven't really gained any weight so far, but I'm barely 5 weeks [depending on how you calculate!].

I'm kind of small and haven't noticed any change in size just yet
I won't post pictures if you don't want me to!

My neighbor used bella bands and like them. They looked cute-just like a longer tank top poking out of bottom of whatever shirt she was wearing.

I'm a fluffy mama. I've got at least 50 pounds to lose. Anyhoo, the bloat has really caught up with me. I'm down to two pair of pants that fit me comfortably and actually bought some maternity pants on ebay last night. I think I'm going to make some belly bands soon so I can get away with wearing my capris for a bit more.
