So I was thinking

My stomach is only hurting me on the weekdays when I'm work. I think I'm mistaking my hunger pains for ACTUAL pains. I think my pants are getting too tight. I'm a secretary so I sit about 90% of the work day and I think my pants are cutting off the circulation to my stomach.

Has that happened to anyone else?

Re: So I was thinking

I also sit at my desk 90% of the day so understand completely what you're going through.

I say if there's a imprint of your pants button or waistband on your belly, then yes, you got a circulation problem.

Have you tried the rubberban trick yet? You'll have to wear something long and loose fitting over the pants tho if you're donig that. But it works for me so far.

Re: So I was thinking

i definitely get that when i wear pants that are too tight. and then it takes a while to feel ebtter, even when i stand up, as things "settle" back into place

i felt much better once i started wearing pants with an elastic waistband - and, later, maternity pants.

the BEST investment i have ever made!!

Re: So I was thinking

I've been wearing leggings and investing in more for a few weeks now, and some big dresses, like wrap dresses that conceal the tummy, elastic waist band is definitely a friend in this weird transition time before we actually fit into maternity clothes!!!!

Re: So I was thinking

I'm going to try that elastic trick. I need to do something. Yes, I have lines of my stomach from my pants being too tight

Thank you ladies.

Re: So I was thinking

go to motherhood! I swear, once you try on maternity pants, you'll never want to go back
