Ingrid & Isabel Women's Maternity Lace BellaBand

This is a must have for any expecting mom! I bought one just to see if it would work with my clothes and how comfortable it was. As a school teacher, I bent over constantly and didnt want my pants to fall down. I also need the belly support as I got bigger. I loved these so much I bought 3 of them in different colors. Black, white, and then a tan one to wear with all of my pants and capris for work. I wore it with my regular clothes until I had to switch to maternity pants. Then I wore it for support of my belly. After my son was born, I wore them to help support my belly after my c-section and help keep my old pants back up as I grew back into them. This was a must have in my book. Lots of people make recommendations to you when you are pregnant. This was one that I actually tried out and LOVED iT!

This item is very nice, especially for a tall person who can't find maternity pants long enough. I needed the Bella band to be able to wear my work clothes during the pregnancy. They only issue would be that I do have to re-adjust throughout the day. But so far, worth the money!

I am glad I bought the band when I did. My regular clothes were just too tight, but I was still a month away from wearing maternity. With the Bella Band I was able to still wear my normal jeans or pants and just had to buy a few longer tops.

I bought this in my first trimester when I was using a hair band to connect my button on my jeans. The bellaband holds my jeans up and looks like I'm wearing a lace cami underneath.I'm now in my second trimester and hope to wear it for a while longer. I'm NOT ready for maternity pants yet...

I purchased two of these belly bands (black and white with lace) as well as a one-size-fits all from motherhood for about $15. I find very little difference in quality and utility, so you might consider your alternatives- these are pretty expensive for what you get. That said, having a belly band has really saved the day for me, and I highly recommend them to all pregnant ladies out there. A note on sizing, I was between sizes (2 and 3 I think) and opted for the smaller one. I'm glad I did, it fits quite well, at least for me at 23 weeks. By the end, I'm guessing I won't be wearing my nonmaternity pants so no biggie if I grow out of it. It's similar in fit and size to my other one-size band, a curious thing.... As a friend of mine also pointed out, these make nice tube tops to sleep in for light support up north....
