Whether you're looking for a way to extend your wardrobe throughout pregnancy or you need a way to relieve pain and pressure during your last few months, a belly band can give you support while allowing you to look fashion forward during your entire nine months. A belly band can even be used after your pregnancy. The Mummy Tummy Belly Band is an option that you can use at the start, end and postpartum stages of pregnancy, making it a good investment for your comfort and fashion sense.
Step 1
Wear the Mummy Tummy Belly Band throughout your first trimester. You may find that as your belly expands, you're not yet large enough to wear maternity clothes, but your regular clothes are becoming too snug or revealing your new belly. The Mummy Tummy Belly Band looks like a regular camisole from the bottom, so wear it under your regular clothes to extend your T-shirts and tops for a few more weeks, notes Everyday Maternity.
Step 2
Pull the Mummy Tummy Belly Band down over your jeans when they become too snug. Because the Mummy Tummy Belly Band is made of a Lycra and Spandex blend, it holds tight while still feeling comfortable. You can leave your pre-pregnancy jeans unbuttoned by securing them with the band, which holds up the jeans like a belt. It will allow you to extend your jeans until it's time to purchase maternity pants.
Step 3
Utilize your Mummy Tummy Belly Band as a way to relieve pain during the last two trimesters of your pregnancy. Pelvic girdle pain is a common complaint in women who are farther along in pregnancy. What To Expect notes that 80 percent of women experience pelvic girdle pain due to the pressure of the baby on the pelvic area. Wearing a Mummy Tummy Belly Band can help support some of the excess weight for less pain and discomfort.
Step 4
Wear the Mummy Tummy Belly Band after you've had your baby and are breastfeeding. Typically you need to lift your shirt while nursing, possibly exposing your postpartum tummy. By wearing the Mummy Tummy Belly Band under your clothes you can keep your belly covered to discreetly nurse your little one in style.
