Clothing seems to be a big issue when you are pregnant. I pretty much lived in a couple of pairs of black stretchy pants that I had, because they were the most comfortable. I remember having to look in a mirror everyday to make sure my shirt was covering the bottom of my belly, because I couldn't see it. Some of you may have heard of BellaBands, a great invention to help you make your wardrobe stretch a little more.

For those of you like me, however, who like to do things yourself, I found a great post on Littler Inch for how to make your own version. I would recommend digging in your closet for those old shirts that you have, or trying out a thrift store to save even more money. If you like the lace on the bottom, most fabric stores carry stretchy lace, and it would be easy to buy some, and then stitch that onto the bottom, and you have a lace band now.

This is also great for everyday use. I am not pregnant right now, but I use a similar product when my shirts are a little too short. I have a really long torso, so most shirts are too short on me. I put this on underneath, and it works wonders. I don't have to worry about showing off some extra skin, especially when bending and lifting my toddler! - Trisha
