That's what Tanya recommended, as well (and what she did for awhile) but
for some reason I can't stand to have as much pressure on my abdomen as
that could impart, and I have some extremely comfy (at least for now)
overalls that are absolutely wonderful until I have to use the bathroom.
:) (And that's not happening as frequently as it was; I think some things
have shifted UP in the past 10 days, which is a bit of a relief.)
Other suggestions I've gotten from books include raiding the husband's
wardrobe and using suspenders to keep pants up. I'm not sure, though,
that that's going to work well for me, seeing as it's too cold to get away
with shorts and his inseam is about 18cm longer than mine which would make
using his jeans a laughable solution at best. I might be able to get away
with borrowing his sweats for hanging around the house, though....
(They'd be toasty. It's gotten cold for here.)
