My pants don't do up

[Netty]

MEN!
All my friends and family have been saying that I am carrying differently this time, all belly and boobs. Last time I just got really fat all over lots of fluid, summer baby etc...
Anyway I pointed this out to DH (what everyone has been saying) and he said I know and I asked him but you just see me as BIG (didnt want to say fat) dont you and he said YES!
I said geez just this once, could you not have lied? Blardy insensitive so and so.

You need to get one of those pregnancy calendars where you can tick not fitting your pants as a milestone of pregnancy.

Lol at DH - men really need to have something short circuited so not everything they think comes out of their mouths

Congrats on your pregnancy!

You need a belly band!!! Get one!!! They are made by the angels themselves.
I can still wear my jeans and i'm huge for 23 weeks!!
Their nice and cheap, and it means basically all the pants that you can't do up anymore, you can still wear. And they give your tummy support.
PLUS, you can use them as a bra to sleep in. Very very comfy.
Buy one, you won't regret it. I'm wearing mine now and still congratulating myself on getting one. Lol

Oh so reminds me of my DP when i was pregnant he looked at me with such a loving smile & rubbed my tummy so romantically (if there is such a thing) and went on to say to me ... " You look like an elephant " ... Funny thing is i knew he didn't mean to say it in the 'wrong offending way' as moments after saying it he looked so crushed that he realised what he had said & he couldn't stop apologising.

I used it to my advantage as the very next day i saw a toddler book about a baby elephant & it's Mother ... so yep i bought it & when DP came home from work i gave it to him as a gift & i said to him " Now here's a little book you can read to our child when he/she is born ... and when he/she is older enough to understand that YOU said Mummy looked like an elephant when she was pregnant

My pants do up ... they they are very tight.

I went to a wedding yesterday and ended up aching all over from the effort of holding my stomach in. I could hardly even eat anything! And all the effort was for nothing, really. As we were leaving, MIL grabbed my stomach, gave it a good shake and said "you need to do more exercise".

Ah Snowy dont stress too much, embrace having an excuse for an extended waistline!
I had bub 9 weeks ago, last week DP says "why are you still wearing that belly belt? your not pregnant anymore" "Well because I cant get my pants up yet, thanks"
