the best maternity leggings ever
I have probably heard the statement "every pregnancy is different" one thousand times, maybe even more. This pregnancy has been the same as mine with Norah when it comes to how long I was sick for but everything else is SO different. The pains, the pressures, oh my! and I'm just six months...I'm honestly a little terrified at what the eighth and ninth months will bring.
Back to the pains and pressure.. I didn't feel anything like that until my eighth or ninth month with Norah but this time around I was feeling them at about four months. I showed way sooner which is an obvious sign that my muscles just aren't holding up as well which I'm pretty sure this goes for most women. I got to where I couldn't even walk to the park, which is less than 1/4 of a mile from our townhouse, without feeling pains. Luckily that pain comes and goes but I have a constant pain as if I have worked my inner thighs out to the max all day every day! Ugh! I know I know, the sweet baby I'm growing and get to snuggle with in a few months is TOTALLY worth it. Of course, my doctor told me at more than one appointment that getting some belly support garments would help and that I should really look into it.
I have followed Blanqi for quite some time now, even before I was pregnant with this little love. Blanqi creates high performance, stylish and practical support garments for pregnancy and beyond & their products are also made in the USA! I was SO excited to try out their BODYSTYLER Maternity Belly Support Leggings! "The official maternity legging game changer you will love to live in! Perfectly balanced, breathable fabric - not too think and not too thin. Seamless for a smooth and fashionable fit and all with our patented built-in belly lift and support band. Dress up or down, these are your go-with-everything leggings!" Yep, all that and so much more!
When I first felt the leggings right out of the package I noticed how soft and smooth they were but it wasn't until I slipped them on that my mind was blown! It seriously felt like I got an instant belly lift and maybe even a booty lift! ;)
I have to say even though I'm on the short side, I'm not petite, I have curves & I'm constantly learning to love them! But since I have curves it is so hard to find leggings (jeans too!) that do not ride down my hips as I go throughout my day and I was SO surprised at how well these leggings stayed put and more importantly my belly feels so supported when wearing them! These really are the best maternity leggings ever & I'm contemplating on getting another pair because I know I am going to be wearing the heck out of this one.
