I am almost 15 weeks and my pre-pregnancy clothes do not fit at all. I was wearing them up until last week with the button and zipper open and a belly band but theya re just too uncomfortable. Now, my belly is not poking out but it is much bigger than before. Rather than having 3 or 4 different stages of clothes, I just want to start wearing maternity clothes. They are comfortable and it makes sense to me. I am proud to show off my belly.

A woman at my job came up and asked me today how far along I am so I told her 15 weeks. She looked at me like I was an idiot and asked why I was wearing maternity clothes already cause my belly is barely poking out. I told her it was more comfortable. She laughed and said "But you are barely pregnant". I snapped back that she "Barely had any class" and just walked away.

When did you start wearing maternity clothes and do you think I am strange for starting at 15 weeks if my belly is growing and my old clothes aren't fitting?
I could care less about her opinion but it really annoyed me. (Imagine that - a pregnant woman annoyed!)

I am 25 weeks tomorrow and have just now started to wear maternity clothes.

I have one pair of pre-pregnancy pants that still fit nice, but other than that, its pregnancy clothes.

I do not like maternity clothes, the maternity pants always feel like they are falling off of me even though I bought the smallest size.

Just curious how far along you all were when you had to start wearing them

Some of the more pricey brands are sized by waist size like 29 or 30 inch waist. Do you buy them by your pre-pregnancy waist size since they have the stretchy thing in them? Like my pre-pregnancy waist is 31 inches, so do I buy a size 31 maternity jean?
Thanks alot!
