[blparent] Maternity clothes

[Pipi]

Bridget,
You can also use a hair tie to hold jeans and such closed. you put the hair 
tie through the button hole and then loop both ends around the button. A lot 
of women do this in the beginning when they aren't big enough for maternity 
clothes yet their normal clothes feel too tight. They just wear a long 
enough shirt to cover the button.
