I used the belli band from Target and it lets you get a lot more use out of your pre pregnancy jeans. It's comfortable and allows you to unbutton your pants so that they aren't uncomfortably tight. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I too have a Target brand Bella Band, and I love it! Mine was about $16. I highly suggest it. I started wearing mine about a week ago, around 7 weeks, becuase I teach elementary school and constantly getting up and down from chairs, the floor, etc. And my dress pants were just getting too uncomfortable! They have 3 colors, white, nude and black. I got the black one because it matches my work pants better and really does just look like a cami I would wear under a shirt. Hope this helps!

Target has their version of the Bella band (which is cheaper at about 16 bucks) called BE band (made by the same company). I love mine and even once you're in maternity pants (like drawstring type low rise pants) it can help keep your pants up and even support your belly a little. They also make long tank tops of the same brand that can help, as well. Some people use a hair tie to loop their unbuttoned pants together, but I found that personally uncomfortable. I was in low rise old navy maternity pants by 12 weeks and still wearing them at 29 weeks because I felt weird with my pants unbuttoned :). Here's to a comfy and stylish pregnancy to you!

Bella band is fabulous for just that use. Its a tube of material to cover unbuttoned pants, and it just looks like a cami at the bottom. It can be used early pregnancy, late pregnancy and even for nursing to cover your belly when lifting your shirt to feed baby.
