Hey all,

So my due date is 7/2/20, but I’m having a dating scan on Monday to make sure that is accurate because I have irregular periods. Anyways, I’m so bloated, constipated, and have “tightness” in the low abdomen, which makes it so so hard to sit down while wearing pants. Even my pants that are a size too big are tight in the waistband.

I work in an office where I’m expected to sit pretty much all day. This morning I did the hair tie trick which helped me get through the morning but now after lunch my belly is aching against the pressure from the waist of my underwear (the pants aren’t tight anymore, underwear aren’t tight they just add pressure). I couldn’t even really just wear legging because the waistband of those caused some pressure which made me uncomfortable as well.

I’ve been having poor appetite (can’t bring myself to eat anything until lunchbtime) and so getting my lunch in is really important, but I’m in so much discomfort after eating that I feel like I need to go home and lie down.

I’m thinking of getting a belly band to help with the pants but do you have any suggestions on underwear that goes up high enough? Or any other ideas?
