Just Bought Some Pregnancy Gear!
Posted: 08-05-07 20:15pm

i'm excited! nick just bought me a bella band and a v-pillow!

the bella band is that band of fabric that goes over your pants so you can leave them undone and they won't fall down or show to others that they're undone. i'm thinking i might be able to get away with just using that and not need to buy any maternity pants. i'm bloated now so i can't wait to get it!

i told him i didn't need the v-pillow but he insisted i did because he remembers what a hard time i had trying to sleep when i was pregnant with finn.

yay!

Hmm would that band thingy have come in handy when i was pregnant before! I did the flap to the sides thing cause i couldn't afford much clothes. I might check that out this time. I havn't bought any pants yet. Mine still fit. (some) Thanks for the idea! I wish i had one of those pillows. I bought a body one that seems to be doing the trick for now

i wish i'd had a bella band last time too! they're so awesome and nobody can tell what it is, it just looks like a tank or tee peeking out from under your regular shirt.

i wear pajama pants at home so that's not a problem but this will come in handy for work.

At the end of my pregnancy I wore Jesse's wife beaters to sleep. They fit great.


I wish I had bought a band when I was pregnant with Ava. Instead I bought tons of maternity clothes.
I don't have ANY winter maternity clothes though. I'll need to buy some long sleeved shirts or maybe just a jacket b/c I was hot when I was pregnant.

I had a body pillow that Jesse suprised me with, but by the end it became flat. I was a fatty to say the least. lol

ohhh Bella bands..
When I worked at motherhood, I was the best at selling those, we called them a tummy sleeve though... all I'd do was lift my top a little and show them I was wearing it to.. They're incredible!

i got my bella band yesterday and i haven't tried it on yet but i'm not too pleased that there's a tag on the bottom that says "bella band". i wanted it so i could wear it discreetly, not advertise what it is. i'm going to try to take it off because i don't need my mom asking me what a bella band is.

my pillow hasn't arrived yet. i can't wait for it to get here! my back always hurts during the night so i'm thinking it might help.

lol, i was like "answer her what?"

i just went back up and saw your question! sorry mel!

a v pillow is just a long body pillow that's slightly shaped like a v. one end goes between your knees, the middle kind of goes under/around your belly to support it, and the top end goes under your head. it just keeps everything supported and aligned.

when i was pregnant with finn i just used a ton of bed pillows but it was a pain getting them all arranged and then having to fix them after every time i got up to pee.

i can't post a link but you should be able to google it if my description didn't make sense.

**edit: I looked it up (not because your description sucked but because I wanted to see what one looked like) and I also saw a Snoogle pillow? Those look comfy too!
