How to wear pre-pregnancy pants through the first trimester and beyond

Despite the fact that it is way to early for me to have any "show", my pants seem to have shrunk a size. I'm blaming it on the gas, the extra bloat, and my new habit of eating--constantly! My sister Loree, sewed a band that can be worn over unbuttoned, unzipped pre-pregnancy pants, and it works Splendid! I however, do not find sewing enjoyable so I found an alternative, and just cut off the top of a pair of tights. It makes a great band! (see below) The legs from the tights are on their way to being transformed into a rice bag for my aching back--wha-hoo!


Too bad my other attempts with scissors did not turn out as well. I am now armed and dangerous!
