Ok don't laugh. Has anyone worn spanx during pregnancy? To kind of hold your shape/bump together and create a smoother looking creature? I'm a spanx addict. I just love them. Even after losing weight I have to wear them or I feel like I'm not contained. I'm only 13 weeks and still going strong. I guess I'm wondering how long people (if anyone) managed to keep the spanx on. And will they damage the baby?

I wore my Spanx slip to a wedding at 12 weeks and to my baby shower at 34 weeks...but the slip isn't as tight as the Spanx shorts I have.
-
Seriously? This is your one chance to let it out! Heck no I was not wearing spanks while pregnant. (Probably should be now though..)
-
They make preggo spanx!
-
But I agree with @sea_bass: !!
-
Haha, aw. I would think it's ok if it's not uncomfortably tight. Honestly, I will probably be looking into some smooth-wear soon too!
-
I bought maternity spanx at motherhood maternity. They were only $17!
-
There is controversy reguarding the regular use of spanx anyways (it messes with the digestive system) I would occasionally wear them but not while pregnant. I bought a belly band & have worn that with my pants that have the panel for extra support. Especially during our family photos this weekend. It really helped round things out. Otherwise who gives a hoot! You have worked hard for that bump. Soon you will fit better into maternity clothes and it will be time to rock that bump.
-
Maternity spanx = amazingness.
-
@sea_bass: people would be terrified if I let it all out!
Looks like I'm off to find maternity spanx!
-
I wore maternity spanx!
ETA: I only wore them a couple of times when we went to weddings. I don't think I would've been comfortable wearing them every day.
-
I wore the maternity spanx to a few weddings!
-
I wore the preggo ones I loved them! The belly part is thing so be careful when you pull the up they can run
-
@anonysquire: the sell them at motherhood
-
@lawbee11: @anonysquire: I loved my maternity spanx! It wasn't to keep my belly in, it was to make sure my thighs didn't rub together too much (I had a gap between my thighs pre-pg) because it was too hot to wear pantyhose all the time to work! I really liked them . . . they were super comfy!
-
Yeah you will not want non mat shape wear- regular tights got SO uncomfortable really early on, way before I was showing! But I understand wanting to smooth everything else out. I never got the maternity spans but they sound like a great idea.
-
My coworkers LOVED their maternity spanx!! I never tried them but I am contemplating them for baby #2 because I do NOT have the time to work out like I did when I was pregnant with #1!
-
@Sugar.Biscuit: I believe the claim...I can't wear them because they mess me up!
-
I had maternity Spanx and they were so great. I didn't wear them to look slimmer.... but they just felt comfortable. They aren't tight around your belly at all.... AND I had some chaffing issues, and they took care of that.
-
I wore maternity spanx underneath my wedding dress (I was exactly 6 months at our wedding.. on purpose!), and holy man, those things are comfy! They are not restrictive at all, and smooth everything out without making you feel like you're squishing your wee babe.
-
oh man, I'm only 9 weeks but just the thought of anything tight on my belly makes me puke!
-
@nana87: The pregnancy spanx are not tight on your belly at all! Just a light stretchy layer . . . your bum and legs are supported, and your belly is in no way restricted.
-
@anonysquire: Zulily has assets (same maker as spanx) on sale and they have slate and brown maternity leggings on sale for 11.99
-
I just think it would be uncomfortable. I vote let it out!
-
I wore regular spanx at like 8 weeks to a wedding to control the bloat! I need to look into that maternity spanx!
-
They're on zulily today if you need some!
@anonysquire:
-
@sea_bass: YES! This is why I loved being pregnant sooo much. It was the one time I felt comfortable with how I looked. No sucking it in, not hiding my belly - show it off!
Now, 13 weeks, I was still probably being a little self conscious still. But it wasn't much longer till I was rocking the tight shirts for once
