So I've been buying pregnancy magazines, and I saw an advert in the back for something called a belly belt. It looked too good to be true, something that you can use so that you can stay in your regular trousers and jeans for longer, because if you think about it, its only my belly thats expanding, nothing else is really changing shape. So I did some research and read the reviews, and thought I had to try this! What it really is, is an extension so that when you can't button your jeans up anymore, this bridges the gap. You get four belts two with buttons on, and two with hooks on, and in two different lengths. You also get some material to pop down your jeans to keep your dignity in case your zip doesn't quite do up either!
So on Tuesday it arrived, and on Wednesday I tried it out. Its fab! I'm only just expanding out of my trousers, but they were getting quite uncomfortable. But I'm still not quite big enough to fit into proper maternity trousers. So this seemed to be the perfect solution for now, as it means I can keep wearing my favourite trousers and jeans! All I need now is some long maternity tops that come down past the belt, so that no-one knows its there. So on Saturday Mum and I are heading to the shops to pick some maternity tops. I'm really quite excited! I am also looking forward to the bump growing some more so that it's obvious that I'm pregnant.
Has anyone else come across and ingenious inventions to make pregnancy easier?

I hated the 'just look fat' (before the bump showed) stage of pregnancy!....happy shopping!

Think I need one of these for a completely different reason! The diet starts Monday but I had a great holiday :0)
Enjoy x
That's a very nifty idea - and you'll be able to use it for those few weeks after the baby comes too, when you aren't quite ready for your ordinary jeans
congratulations on your pregancy Gemma! Love the idea of this belt! Looks very comfortable and very neat.
I used one of these with varying success with both of my pregnancies - my sister, who has a three month old, used it and loved it - they are very handy!
Oooh, I am absent for a while and look what happens. Congratulations Gemma, lovely news.
