1) My maternity pants with a tight stretchy full panel never fall down. They are the Motherhood maternity secret fit belly pants. The ones with a cotton panel (from H&M) get stretched through out the day and so I have to wash them after one wear.
2) There are so many reasons for WBC count to be high. I have not had it show up for me personally during a blood test, so I can't give any real info or advice. I hope you can hear back from your OB first thing in the morning.
I have the motherhood maternity secret for belly pants jeans too and they do not fall down. I love them so much I bought them in a black denim and blue dark wash denim.
1. Ugh, pregnancy pants are so difficult. This is certainly that weird stage where you need them, but they fall down like crazy. Not sure if you have the low or full panel, but if low, mark my words (even for those who swear they wont) you'll get the full panel ones soon enough, and you'll love them! With my first, they were much to big until the later 20 wks (like 27/28) but once I finally made that swap to full panel it was wonderful and LOTS less tugging and shifting. I'm 21 wks now and ready to pull mine out this weekend
2. Anemia is typically associated with low iron or low red blood cell count. I've been tested for it because of low iron before. I don't have any experience/guidance on the WBC counts, but I hope you get the tests you need to figure out what is going on. Hopefully it's something easy to figure out and nothing to worry about.
I love that this brought up overalls. I was thinking about them the other day LOL. I have the secret fit belly jeans from motherhood maternity, but I think PP who said they are too big hit the nail on the head. I bought a pair of XS and they are snug in my thighs, but PERFECT everywhere else, and don't fall down nearly as bad. I can't do the under-belly elastic, it already digs in uncomfortably (I could never do it with DS, either, so I've been rocking full panel and/or side panel...side panels are getting worn out, though).
Also, re WBC, I called and finally talked to the NP. They aren't worried about my blood count results. She said they are a little wonky, but not too out of range for pregnancy, so it was probably just lingering stuff from when I had the flu or like @girlpipley said, white coat issues since I have a strong fear of needles. They are going to do a re-draw to make sure, but otherwise no big deal. I think I'm going to request someone else start leaving me phone messages if this lady keeps stressing me out over stupid shit.
brennaz, glad to hear the numbers are in the normal range, just a bit lower. It will be good to get another draw to compare. Now you can hopefully not stress over that.
1). I've only experienced my maternity pants getting looser if I've had a trip to the bathroom for the first time in a few days... you know what I mean . Maternity is the only thing that fits me right now. None of my regular jeans do.. Not comfortably anyway.
As for question (2 I have no idea I'm sorry. Cookies always put a smile on my face though.
I realise I wasn't much help at all.. I saw cookies in the title and temptation..
