I was however able to wear them till the last day because I did not get very big with my first baby. I am also pear shaped and have a long torso so my bump was always long and not sticking out too much.<br /><br />The second time around I bought two pairs of quite thin stretch twill skinny pants which were great and stayed up no problem. They had very thin elastic in the top seam of the jersey panel to help hold them up. I bought them in different sizes so when the first pair got too small I could wear the second one which was a good decision because I was huge towards the end of my second pregnancy.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-35346345672771044102014-10-17T17:06:31.822-04:002014-10-17T17:06:31.822-04:00http://www.wawak.com/products/product.cfm/pid/6555...http://www.wawak.com/products/product.cfm/pid/6555/Maternity-Panel-Elastic-24-x-9-1-2-Black/<br />Some things are better left unknown.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-9578276117163693712014-10-17T11:27:58.461-04:002014-10-17T11:27:58.461-04:00Looking good, dude!!!Looking good, dude!!!Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-12554165090455529682014-10-17T11:08:02.555-04:002014-10-17T11:08:02.555-04:00I'm not sure I even knew there is/was a ready ...I'm not sure I even knew there is/was a ready made notion panel.

By 6 months I couldn't lie down without the most hideous acid reflux CONSTANTLY (something I've never experienced before or since). My kid flared my ribcage - which has never returned to its former proportions - cuz she was 21.5 inches long at birth (that's LONG) and I'm a small-boned 5'3" with a short waist. So you are having a terrific experience from my vantage point - not that I'm the arbiter! :-)Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-50536878960421294682014-10-16T12:37:51.061-04:002014-10-16T12:37:51.061-04:00;-) I feel happy and healthy!;-) I feel happy and healthy!Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-57299538280500711322014-10-16T12:37:26.582-04:002014-10-16T12:37:26.582-04:00That's a good option, too!

There's plenty of room still for Raspberry up under your ribcage -- you may never stick out very far in front. <br /><br /><br />Perhaps you can run a drawstring through a casing at the top of your maternity panel -- that's how my mother coped with falling pants.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.com
