I didn't think I would have to worry about this so soon but my clothes aren't fitting well. At least right now, I've been very bloated a few times a week and it's almost painful to button my pants up all the way. Do you think I should get a Bellaband? What is your experience with those? Seriously, at 6 weeks, how can my pants not fit well anymore?

I have a bellaband (thanks to Niknok!) but I haven't had to use it yet. My m/s has been so bad I actually had to move a belt hole IN because my pants are getting to big. But I hear great things about them!!! Sorry I'm not much help.
And can I just say----PICTURES!!!!!!!

I never used a bella band, but I wish I did!!! I instead bought maternity pants at 10 weeks because I could not button my normal jeans at all anymore. That was such a waste of money because I can't even get those pants past my knees now lol!!! I say you should get one!!!!

I started wearing maternity trousers at 6 weeks!! So yes, it is possible!!! Maternity trousers are so much more comfortable around the tummy.

I was in mat. pants with Tay at 8 weeks and 6 weeks with this bean. I'd say it's normal and get comfy! Where's the belly pics?!

Bellabands rock!!
I'm wearing mine now at 19+ weeks because I've not gained any weight on my frame, just belly and boobs, and the maternity pants I tried were all too big for me.

I have a bella band but I don't know where the darn thing IS!!!
I used it for a couple weeks at the beginning until I got the secret fit belly shorts, but unfortunately I get pregnant ALL over, not just my belly haha! My advice though, if you are right on the edge of their size chart, just get a size up! I got a size 2 and it fit perfectly. I wish I could find it

if you don't get a bella band or mat pants... or until you do, for the time being you could just loop a hair tie through the button hole and around the button to give you an extra inch or two and then just wear a longer shirt over it. ghetto, but I bet it'd work

Thanks guys. It's just really kinda scary cause I didn't think I would get like this so fast. Seems like half of you had a hard time early too.
Ed is wondering if there are more than one in there 
ETA: Sorry I didn't post my belly picks sooner. I just wasnted far along and felt alittle fat cause I was getting so big already.
