I've been able to remain in my pre-pregnancy jeans as a result...
Admittedly, my pre-pregnancy jeans have some stretch in them...but I just use the small belly belt and just make sure I wear a skirt or belly tube over my zip (so you can't see the gape!!!)
One thing to keep in mine though is how you are carrying...I'm very much in front...so I think that's part of the reason I've been able to keep using my pre-pregnancy jeans...
Anyway...best buy of my pregnancy, I think!!! I'd offer you mine...but I need it for a few more weeks yet...you may be able to get them on e-bay...otherwise I got mine at Target for about $30
Know what you mean about being uncomfortable...except mine's at the other end...baby is using my bladder as a trampoline!!!
Mako - I was wearing the belly belt but still found my jeans uncomfortable & couldn't find anything in target, pumpkin patch as they were all ugly,uncomfortable & bunched up at the sides.
Then I found a shop called mother & me & the jeans I found are soooooooooooo comfortable (on the tag it says mu. mu maternity), the elastic is sewed at the back so you can't tell they're maternity jeans & as you get bigger you just unpick to the next bit of cotton, they are fantastic & I wish I had bought another pair.
They also had some fantastic comfy tops as well.
The jeans were $80 but well worth the money, hope you can find something soon.

Second chlomid / IUI March 2007 -
Today I find myself having to focus on my words of the other day...
Today I am pregnant, and everything is ok. Today I have reached 8 weeks and 4 days, and that's the furthest I've ever been, and it is amazing.
Last night I had red bleeding. I freaked. DH called the clinic and spoke to the doctor on call, and it appears today I need to try to arrange to get in for another scan with my FS as a matter of urgency. I'm not looking forward to calling the clinic myself.
When I was at acupuncture on Thursday night, I was given a moxa stick and shown which points on my big toes to use it on to help reduce uterine bleeding. I did that last night, and everything has come back to brown spotting. I'd saturated the liner I was wearing yesterday, changed to a pad and nothing has made it through to the pad at all, even over night. There's been no cramping, which is some relief. But I've also noticed a significant reduction in my morning sickness over the last two days. It could just be the fact that I'm now eating normally again and can manage a mug of warm milk before bed which always saw me have a better morning before.
The thing that is worrying me most... I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow for the start of term 3 - and I'm really not sure I should.
Sorry for no personals - feeling very self-absorbed and scared right now. Focussing on trying to keep myself calm.
