Bella Band vs. Belly Belt combo
I'm almost 10 weeks and I am at the point where I can't button my jeans and my work pants are a tight mess....I didn't realize the bella band was so expensive..and then there's the belly belt combo (see pic below)...does anyone recommend one over the other? Does the bella band roll up (or down - like pantyhose)? I don't want to spend $$ for it if it's going to roll...
TIA!

It's basically a bella band, but not a true 'bella'.

Skip it and get some maternity pants. You will feel like you have died and gone to heaven. Once I bought a pair it was like great sex on your tummy. 
Not literally Sex on your tummy but the feeling was fab for your tummy.

Re: Bella Band vs. Belly Bands combo
I don't know how much the "Bella Band" is, but I got the knockoff one @ Mimi or Motherhood or whatever the name of that store is for under $20 .......
I have 2 of them and am still wearing them @ 27 weeks -
I HATE every single pair of maternity pants I have tried on and I have gone everywhere from Motherhood to Old Navy to Mimi to Pea in a freakin' Pod -
NOTHING is comfortable to me ........- but I am the minority -

i do have to agree...i may never go back to 'non maternity panel' jeans again...
though even with the maternity jeans, i often wear the band i linked above...as the jeans are a little loose on me (and i'm short) and if i don't use the band, i tend to ruin the bottoms of my jeans, because they're long. With the band on - they are almost the PERFECT length...

yes - i know exactly what you mean. I have the 'full' one, and what i do is i put it on and fold it over...kinda like if you were mailing an 8X10 piece of paper...i fold one part over the other, over the other...(because my belly isn't that large yet, there will come a time i'm sure when i won't need to fold). I have not yet had one rolling issue.
The reason my SIL got me this specific brand (so she tells me) is because they come in SIZES...it's not a one size fits all thing....(and i was not a small girl when i got pregnant).

Re: Bella Band vs. Belly Belt combo
I got the Tummy Sleeve from Motherhood for $17. I got that one because I heard that the bella band tended to roll. I love it! It helped me wear my regular pants a bit longer and I still wear it over some of my maternity pants that tend to fall down.
