Wearing spanx in early pregnancy (3 posts)

  • Avatar Image Jaynec34 said 3 months ago:

    I am 11 weeks and 2 days pregnant and am going to a wedding on Saturday. The dress I plan to wear shows off all my cellulite on my bum and thighs and I would normally wear it with my spanx type smoothing shorts. Is it still OK to wear these? My uterus is still in my pelvis I think as I can’t feel it yet.
    Thanks

    i wouldnt have thought it would hurt to wear it, but maybe you should give it a trial run today so you can see how comfy/uncomfy it is and then you still have time to get something else if it’s not good.

    Hi Jayne,

    It shouldn’t cause any problems but Claire’s suggestion of giving them a trial run to see if they are comfortable and don’t dig in is sensible. I hope you have a lovely time at the wedding.
