My cousin told me that I needed to get the Bella band, which would allow me to keep wearing my pre maternity clothes through much of my pregnancy. I got way more use out of it than that! It really helped in the stage where I was too big for my prematernity clothes and too small for the maternity clothes, and I used it a lot post labor until I coudl somewhat fit into my prematernity clothes again. It's a little expensive, so I just bought a black one and used it with whatever outfit. I can't imagine needing more than one unless you really care about buying lots of colors to go with all your outfits.
