Second baby....when did your pants start getting tight?

[hew81]

Okay....I'm pregnant with my second. I didn't need to start wearing maternity pants until like 18 weeks or so. Well, I'm only 8 weeks with this one and I have noticed my pants are already very tight.....almost uncomfortable.

When did you start wearing maternity pants with your subsequent pregnancies?

I'm the same! With my second (a miscarriage), I started wearing maternity just before 10 wks. This time I started unbuttoning some of my pants around 6 1/2 wks. I am almost 8 wks and am pulling out the maternity pants this weekend. I am only slightly bigger - the real problem is morning sickness. I feel sick if I have any pressure on the tummy area. I went to the store to buy some new clothes, but the maternity clothes were all too big and regular clothes were too tight. I hate the in between stage, but our bumps will be here soon enough!

Have been wearing maternity trousers in private for about 2 weeks now! It's as if my stomach just started sticking out a soon as the test turned positive!
I also notice I can already feel the top of my uterus poking out above my pubic bone whereas it took until around 12 weeks last time.
And I keep thinking I might be feeling little taps but I am probably just insane.

With my first i was about 18 weeks with my 2nd by 9 i felt so uncomfortable I gave in to maternity jeans - this is my 3rd ad i've been wearing maternity jeans for a week

I caved in a dug out my mat jeans this week, I wore them yesterday or the first time and said to OH how I'd forgotten how comfy they!

with my first, i think i was around 10 weeks when i started wearing maternity pants.. i just bought some elastic-waist loungey-type pants a size larger than normal before that... this time my jeans are already too tight, where they were a little loose before... they've been tight since a day or so before i got a positive HPT, heh... i'll probably be breaking out some maternity pants in a couple weeks.

I'm down to 2 comfy trousers and both of them r elastic ha! I'm noticing my tops seem to need to be pulled down more cause of my belly! One girl who I haven't told yet but I think she guesses keeps eyeing just there and man it makes me so paranoid! Def starting to get to the ugh I feel big not preg stage!

I'm on number 2 I just started during in my sexy pants again n now I'm pregnant...hmmph now my comfy pants are getting uncomfortable. I'm only 8 weeks.

 

[tabitha561]

Im over 12 weeks and just started wearing materinty pants I can still wear my regular pants though I have a small bump

 

[Spunky]

Ugh, I was in mat pants by 12 weeks regularly with the first baby. This one I've had my pants unbuttoned for days. Keep forgetting when I get out of the car Probably will break out the mat pants soon. Even though I know it's bloat it's super uncomfy to have the pressure on my belly and makes me feel sicker.

This thread made em feel better! Thank you!

 

[hew81]

So glad it's not just me!

I forget when I started wearing maternity with my first pregnancy. I know that I didn't start showing until around 25 weeks though. This time it's my 3rd pregnancy (had a previous loss), I'm over 12 weeks and have yet to wear them. But I feel that around the 14 week mark I might start. But I am excited about it actually. I can't wait to have a nice bump and to start feeling baby soon

 

[rockabillymom]

This is my second I started wearing maternity pants around 19 weeks thought with my first I was in them at 14 weeks

 

[sexysmurf]

ive just taken to wearing OH trakkie bottoms, or in the house my jama bottoms, im beyong giving a crap if they dont match my top half lol xx

 

[buttons80]

with my first it was about 16 weeks, second was 16 weeks nd this time im up a size and started wearing a maternity pair yesterday

 

[Kahlan83]

with my first, I started around 14 weeks. This time I've been wearing them consistently for about a week and a half. My regular jeans fit but they are uncomfortable around the belly so I put them away and gave up. I still have some yoga pants that will fit for a while though.

I'm a bigger girl too so it doesn't help that not only did I not lose my baby weight from last time, I'd put on about an extra 20lbs before I got pg again (surprise this time...was diagnosed with PCOS and thought it would take a while...at least long enough to lose 20-30lbs)

So far I've gained 5lbs since the last time I weighed myself which was a month before I fell pregnant. I hadn't forgotten how comfy maternity wear is...I was actually looking forward to wearing them again because my pregnant wear is better than my regular wear.

I'm glad to hear so many of you are dealing with the same! Hurray for elastic waists!

With my first I was in maternity clothes around 10 weeks. This time my regular pants were snug around 6 weeks and I broke out the maternity clothes yesterday at 7w6d. I can see a bump, but it wouldn't be noticeable to most people unless they knew I was pregnant.

I also figure now we all have an excuse to go shopping for more maternity clothes because we'll get more use out of them this time around!
