May 07, 2008
Today I am officially in my second trimester!!!! Wow, I can't believe it!!!! 13 weeks....crazy!
I HIGHLY recommend BELLA BANDS. Check out this link, you can wear you pants unzipped and unbuttoned and no one can ever tell, I LOVE THEM!! Have only needed them on the days I dry my jeans and then can take it off after they stretch a little, but they are wonderful!!!!

Your welcome, I love them, I got them in white, black and a tan, then im going to order some more here next week. they came really quick too. I wanted to get a few other colors, they are just soo cute. Like Tuesday night we went to eat with hubbys parents and I had a dark brown shirt on but it was kinda shorter and so I put the tan bella band on and it looked soo stinking cute. It basically looks like you are wearing a tank or another shirt under your regular shirt. I think you will enjoy them :)
Yes you are soo cute and you can really tell just in 7 weeks how much you changed, I cant believe its 7weeks inbetween those pics...it seems like yesterday you were posting the 6 week one....soo crazy. I gotta get on getting some done each week for sure :)

well, Im not sure....for me, I wore in during the in between stage when I wasnt quite big enough for maternity clothes, but was way to big for my regular pants. I just left my pants unbottoned and unzipped and put the belly band over it. Worked well. It would definately strecth enough to fit me now, but I find maternity pants comfortable so I havent had a reason to try it.
I'm 5dpo today and yesterday, dh and I got into a really bad fight, to the point where I became tired from crying. Well we talked and made up but do you think this can stop me from getting preggo. I was only stressed that night and I'm not stressed anymore. When you got preggo did you and dh fight and was everything ok?
Chrissy just wanted to note that the Bella Bands off ebay are like 30 dollars for 3 of them, and I heard at motherhood that just one was like 20 dollars, but I could be wrong, thats why I got mine off Ebay and they are super comfortable and I love them, because right now im in that inbetween stage.
Liane I so agree about buying tops not in the maternity section. My best friend has been doing that and she is 35weeks pregnant and the tops still fit her and she is HUGE. Its soo much cheaper cause once you hit the maternity tops half the time you are paying more because its maternity. Im trying to shop junior tops as long as I can :)

Thats EXACTLY what im saying. I was just looking at maternity shops on Kohls site and Target after looking at the babydoll type shirts, and OMG the same shirt basically is 10-20 dollars more for a maternity shirt. So long as my preggo but can fit into the juniors tops im going to, now maternity pants, well we arent gonna get around that...haha. I can for a little bit longer with those bella bands, but this week or today im going to buy some maternity shorts, capris and jeans, im super excited :)))))
Yeah pants we cant get away with but just getting those other tops will save us some good $$. Although when it comes to pants I was able to pick up some capris that that soft elastic waists at Wearhouse One the Jean Store for $20. They came in 3 different colors. They werent even at a maternity store but they are like maternity pants. You should keep your eye out for stuff like that because there are some out there!
And Motherhood has great jeans and capris! My jeans were $24.50 which I didnt think was too bad and the capris were the same! And they fit great! The paif of jeans I have have the belly band sewn right on top and it comes right up to under your boobs! Great for me because of my high large and in charge belly!
Haha Maria thats soo funny. Im going and getting the pants with teh bands in the already so I can grow and not have to keep getting new pants...hehe. I figure I can roll part of it down if it doesnt go all the way up or something.
They have buy 1 get 1 free in all the junior babydoll tops that fit great as maternity shirts, and they are probably 10 bucks cheaper for a shirt then in the maternity, so im super excited about going. Im about to go right now :)
Yall have a great day and talk to yall soon :)

If you have an Old Navy around you I hear if you order online and it doesnt fit you can take it back to the store. I would check on that but if thats the case we have one right near us, but doesnt have a maternity section.
I went shopping yesterday and didnt come back with a thing, went today and didnt go maternity shopping and spent tons of money. I think I hate clothes shopping period. I love shopping for the house and stuff...haha.
Also im in the inbetween sizes right now on pants for maternity so in the next week or so im going to try and go back, when I start showing more :)

Exactly! They are wonderful.
My jeans after wearing them in after washing always fit great, that first time I put them on I have to squeeze but I stretch and stuff and they fit great. So im soo happy I have 2 pairs I can wear right now, and 1 pair of capris that are jean, and one pair that are black (with the bella band), im going to see if a white pair fit with the bella band soon. So I think im covered for a bit, I just need some new tops :)

I keep forgetting to take pics every week. I have so much going on with remodeling our house and what not that it just totally slips my mind. But once I start really showing I will start taking pictures. I have the one from 7weeks, 10weeks, and so once I start to pop over more from the 10week one then I will take a picture. You could tell at 10 weeks in a tankini that there was something starting to show, but it has remained there until its ready to pop over...haha. It will be coming soon I know and I will post a picture for sure :)
Liane I didnt think I was gonna get a doppler but now I really want to cause my appointments for some reason are 5weeks apart and I just want to make sure everything is fine, till the baby starts to move then I will probably return it :)

Yes Jolene it is because there are two of them!! I dont mind. The doctors office is just 2 mins walk from my work so it is awesome!
Lisa I thought there might be a chance because I knew that I had ovulated on both sides because I felt it. Other than that nothing. I was having stretching pains starting at 4.5 weeks. It hurt when I coughed, rolled over, etc so I was actually worried that it was an ectopic. I had nausea but never threw up once. I was lucky in that way.

I just checked up on this post after a long time... but.. I wanted to chime in.. bella bands ARE awesome!!! I still wear mine every once in a while with one of my skirts that I can't zip up, but can still wear under my belly if I use the band to hold it up. there are other brands... like the tummy sleeve that are a few bucks cheaper!
Yeah I love the Bella Bands and I think I will keep using these until I cant use them anymore...hehe. My butt is getting bigger and other things so some certain things that fit dont fit now...haha. Once I have this little one im losing all the baby weight plus another 20 pounds, but with the help of Birth Control and eating right I will drop all that in no time hopefully casue BC makes me lose weight cause of my PCOS its really weird. Everytime I get off I gain weight everytime I get on a lose weight...soo odd but LOVE it!
Thanks Liane.
I was just wondering because I know that I had ovulated from both sides this past month too- and then I got a BFP! So I know there is a chance of twins, but I figured I would have a lot more morning sickness if there were two. SO far I've just had bouts of nausea and weird little twitchy feelings in me. Hmm.. I guess we will see on May 27th (first U.S @ 6.5 weeks)if there is one or two.. either way I am thrilled! Did you go in for an early U.S too? If so did you see both heart beats right away?

Liane,
Yeah I was on 50 mg Clomid and during my midcycle ultrasound the doctor said I had two great follicles/eggs that would be released and then she gave me the trigger shot (HCG) to ensure they both came out. No IUI.....So now I just have to wait until May 27th.. I know it's not that long but... I'm excited to see a heartbeat (or heartbeats)!!! oh the countdown.... 12 more days... well ACTUALLY 11 days and 10 hours I think :D

OMG I am So excited..........My U/S appt has been moved from May 27th to May 19th I too was on 50mg Clomid and I O'ed from both sides. I am 4weeks 5days pregnant today!!! I have had some streching sensations that hurt when I coughed or streched out Hmmmm Weird! All I know is when I had my mid cycle U/S the Lady said if I got pregnant this cycle I could very well have Twins. That would be Awsome! My Dh has kids girl and boys I have girls. When put together they are all 2 years apart 5-7-9-10-13 If we have twins we would have 7 kids OMG How wonderful would that be!!! Good Luck Ladies, I'll let you know how it goes!
