I'm going to just throw this out there - I hate maternity pants.
There. I said it. Seriously though, who could have though to of a worse invention? There is nothing comfortable or trendy about maternity pants. And those belly panels! Phew! I don't care if you are looking at full-panel, partial panel or just one of those little elastic bands at the waist, they are uncomfortable!
At 12.5 weeks I find myself no longer comfortable for long periods of time in my regular jeans. They fit well enough when I'm standing, but as soon as I sit (like to work), they dig into my baby-gut and it HURTS! So, instead of dancing the button-battle where you are constantly buttoning and unbuttoning your pants all day as you sit and stand, I decided to jump into my smaller pair of maternity pants. They fit, except for the God forsaken elastic band of doom.
Seriously. I hate hate hate maternity pants. They must have been designed by a man, because no woman in her right mind would think - oh hey, lets use industrial-strength elastic and make it crazy kinds of tight around your stomach. Because when you're pregnant, having any degree of pressure on your gut doesn't make you want to projectile vomit or anything... If it weren't getting colder and if it were socially acceptable, I would spend my entire pregnancy in a moo moo because apparently modern fashion designers have NO FRICKEN CLUE how uncomfortable being pregnant is and they aim to enhance the discomfort with these 3-inch wide elastic waistbands that dig in to really drive home the fact that having 2 X chromosomes sucks.
