Maternity Spanx... anyone?


Hi ladies,
I am going to a wedding in a few weeks and before I was preggers I would always wear a pair of spanx under my dress. There is a special pair of Maternity spanx and I was wondering if anyone has tried them? I feel yucky if I have any restriction on my belly at the moment and I could handle some thigh smoothing but no tummy restrictions.

Anyone tried them? Or do you have another pregger's kind of tights/shapewear that is comfy?

Haven't tried them, don't think I'd want to either - wouldn't they restrict fluid flow to and from your legs? Just speculating though! If they're designed for pregnancy they should be alright shouldn't they?

You're going to look all gorgeous and pregnant anyway so I wouldn't worry about them though (also might they take a while to pull down - just thinking toilet queues, prengnancy, full bladder.....) x

IF they are specially designed for pregnancy, then they should be okay. But I also agree with Elm, you'll look great anyway.
