Belly band: pros and cons?

[ekoury]

A little OT, but I would also recommend getting post-pregnancy support band. It really helps, especially if you had to have a c-section.

I got one as soon as I couldn't button my pants anymore. Which didn't take long I'm still using it at 30 weeks, I have broke down and got some maternity pants, but the band has allowed me to keep wearing my pregnancy pants. Well, for the most part, lol, some are a bit too tight now. I don't see any cons with them. I got mine at Target. It's held up great.

I used an old tube top for the same purpose when I was pregnant with my maternity pants that wouldn't stay up while I worked. It worked great! Next pregnancy, I will definitely invest in some real belly bands. I didn't find out about them until I was past the 30 week mark and couldn't see spending the money at that point.
