How soon did you start wearing maternity clothes?
I'm just curious. I'm seven weeks pregnant and can't wear my fitted clothes anymore because they're not comfortable. I don't really want to start wearing maternity yet, but considering it. I don't know.
Maternity pants will probably be a little too big for you right now, but the shirts should be fine, if not a little baggy. For now, you can buy a Bella Band or a Belly Band. It’s a large stretchy tube of fabric you wear across the top of your pants to keep them up. These work really well for the first 3 months at least.
I started wearing maternity clothes at about 3 months, but some of my regular clothes still fit up to five months.
I had to start early about 10 weeks. just because anything at all tight on my stomach was so uncomfortable.
about 4 months
im 11 weeks tomorrow and i havent worn button pants since 7 weeks lol and i just got my first pair of maturity jeans so comfy!!! i carry my weight in my tummy so i was showing before conception haha
I’m 24 weeks along and still haven’t bought any maternity clothes. I’ve only gained 7-8 pounds. I still wear my same jeans, but unbuttoned with a belly band to hold them up (you can find belly bands at Target and maternity clothes stores) and I borrow my sisters shirts because she wears a size bigger than I do so now that I have a belly her clothes fit me. I haven’t gained weight anywhere except my belly.
i started at 17weeks. that’s when i finally started to get uncomfortable in some fitted pants. i wore fitted shirts up until i gave birth.
I fit into my Regular clothes all the way up to about 30 weeks. This is my first pregnancy and I can still fit into my regular shirts but pants I needed maternity.
I am now 34 weeks and have only been in Maternity clothes for like a month.
about 11 weeks cuz i was so bloated, my belly went down at about 18 weeks, but i still needed the maternity trousers (pants)
ur gonna need them eventually, buy some with a soft waistband and they’ll last you right through! Ebay is great for maternity clothing especially jeans etc..
That is around the time I started getting new clothes. At seven weeks I was very bloated and had lots of water weight. I was sad that my clothes where not fitting this soon into the pregnancy.
The first thing I did before getting maternity clothes, was buy a belly band. It goes over your unbuttoned pants and is amazing. I loved it but it is pricey.
I am now 20 weeks and the only thing I can wear is maternity. My sweats dont even fit anymore.
I am 11 weeks and I am wearing SMALL maternity pants, I bought bigger regular jeans but it looked like I took a dump in my pants. = )
I bought bigger tops some that aren’t maternity just very baggie at the stomach.
Have fun!
about 18 weeks, but I went throught several weeks before that with my fly open and a string around the button and belt loop of my jeans.
I think I was about 8 weeks with my last pregnancy. I bought a pair of maternity jeans & wore non maternity shirts until I couldn’t get away with it anymore. Buy yourself a few pairs of maternity pants. Trust me you will be so much more comfortable!
I’m 41/2 weeks pregnant now & I’ve heard you show faster with a second pregnancy.
with my first i was very active and in shape and i swear i didnt need maternity clothes till i was 28 weeks!!
haha now its a different story…i think i started wearing them somewhere around 13 weeks lol
you wear whatever you wanna wear, and whatever makes you feel comfortable….go for it!!
4/5 months.
Yep.. I am right there with ya!
I am 6w 6d, and nothing is comfortable. I am pretty much only comfortable in sweats and elastic waisted pants. I know we aren’t "showing" yet.. but I know that for me.. I am bloated, and constipated, and feeling so fluffy! lol. it’s no comfortable to "suck it in" either lol.
I asked a very similar question a few weeks ago.. feel free to have a looksie!
