Early maternity style advice - the in-between size?Okay, my belly is now officially bigger than my hips. I can still get my pants on and do the rubber-band-buttonhole thing, but they all feel like they're going to fall down/fall off, which is really uncomfortable (not to mention looks silly to keep hitching up my pants, I'm sure).
I am still too small for regular maternity pants. But elastic waistbands are my friend. :) I'm fine at home - but I'm having trouble with what to wear to work. Any recommendations to how to keep things stylish and at least somewhat professional with an elastic waistband? I'm trying to avoid dresses/skirts as I'd be required to wear pantyhose (stupid old-fashioned dress code), and they really don't "breathe" well enough for me to feel comfortable. It's also quite chilly in my office, so I get cold without anything on my legs. I'm allowed pretty much anything but jeans and T-shirts, though, other than the pantyhose thing.
What did you do for the in-between size? If you can send me any links to "looks" that might work, that's helpful too. I can't figure out how to shop here, and when I'm also hormonal and keep having to pee, striking out while shopping at a department store is practically cause for tears. :)
Thanks ladies!!
Okay, since EVERYONE agreed, I bought on on my lunch hour today. This will definitely help, but I feel like I have to position it really low for my pants not to come out from underneath. Maybe a little experimentation is all I need, though? It definitely helps already, thanks!!

I loved my belly band. It was very helpful. They come in khaki and black.

You should try the Bella Band. It's a band that resembles a tube top that you put on over your regular pants. You just leave your pants unbuttoned/unzipped and put the band on over it.
Target has a similar product but I'm not sure what it's called.
Congrats on your pregnancy and Good Luck!!!

i also use a belly band. you can get them at target -http://www.target.com/BeBand-Maternity-Band-White/dp/B001DDRYDE/ref=br_1_5?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&qid=1276185812&searchView=grid3&sr=1-5&node=1271975011&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&rh=&searchSize=90&id=BeBand%20Maternity%20Band%20White&searchBinNameList=purchasing_channel%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin
they also come in ebony and natural so you don't have to get white if you don't want to. i have a black one i got from target but its not listed on the website.
they're pretty much a knock off of the bella bands but they work just as well for less money!
