When did you start weaing maternity clothes?

[jocie]

Im sure there is another thread like this somewhere.....

So this is my 4th baby and it has only been 12 months since i was last expecting, so my tummy is not holding things in as well this time..........im not in them yet this time. last pregnancy though, i was 8 weeks or so and showing slightly (dont know if its considered 'showing' or 'bloat/chubb' lol) but i couldnt comfortably wear my jeans anymore.

when did you have to make the switch??

I am almost 8 weeks, and I can't button my jeans anymore..well, comfortably anyway This is my third pregnancy.

This is my 3rd....I had a few weeks of bloat week 4-8 then it flattened out, I have a little bump so I wore a pair of mat jeans for the first time today, I felt a bit of a fraud with the huge pouch at the front but they were soooooo comfortable I didn't care!

10 weeks.
I was so bloated to start with so I started wearing clothes in a bigger size, but by 10 weeks they were too small.
I am wearing maternity pants and shirts. I wear pants because everything else is too tight and doesn't sit right. I wear the shirts because my breasts are too big for my regular shirts, and my shirts are too short due to my breasts and belly. I am 12 weeks now and oh so comfy. Totally worth it! I started wearing maternity clothes at 12 or 13 weeks with my daughter 6 years ago.

This is my 2nd but it's been 8 years. Ironically I had just lost around 11 pounds since I was trying to lose weight so my jeans were luckily getting a bit loose. So I am still able to wear all of my same pants for now. I think I will be able to for a couple more weeks. I might get a button extender or something to stretch it out even farther.

I'm 10 weeks and have been wearing maternity clothes since 9 weeks. I cannot control my tummy! This is my first pg too.

This is my first pregnancy and my jeans are getting uncomfortably tight. Think it is mainly bloat but may need to resort to maternity jeans soon. Did not think I would need to for another month or so

I am still in normal clothes but it's uncomfy and it LOOKS horrendous. Like, I'm normally pretty skinny and flat even after having my daughter in April, and at the moment my legs are still skinny and my arms are the same... My boobs like horrible because I'm still partially breastfeeding and have to wear yucky non underwired bras and my middle... Well I don't look pregnant I just look totally filled out all around my hips and abdomen. It basically looks like I've gained weight just in my middle. I feel gross. Can't wait for a real bump so I don't feel so self conscious! But I can't bring myself to go into maternity jeans yet because firstly then everyone will know, and secondly I was so eager to get into them last year and by the end I was sick to death of them and missed my old wardrobe. So I am putting it off - I bought some great new trousers in the sales a few months ago to treat myself post birth and I'm not prepared to give them up yet!! xxx

thanks for all the responses ladies!
i love all the cute things you get to wear when you are pregnant! i cant wait to actually be showing for real! but itll still be a few weeks for me i think.

 

[AmyandBump91]

Was just about to post this. I am only 6 weeks (7 on Wed) been bloated for 2 weeks now, to the point my work trousers wont fasten and are so uncomfy..so i gave in and bought a couple maternity elasticated trousersm and wow!!! the comfort is great! xxx

This is my 5th pregnancy and I can feel my pants getting a little tight but haven't started wearing mat. clothing yet !

With my first I switched to maternity jeans at about 6 weeks. I will be doing the same this time!

I didn't need to wear maternity tops until about 20 weeks last time, I'm not sure how soon it will be needed this time. x

 

[Emzywemzy]

With my first, I was in maternity trousers at 11 weeks as I was so uncomfortable in my normal jeans! I didn't have to wear maternity tops til about 18 weeks though. I'm only 4.5 weeks now and I'm soooo bloated, so don't think it'll be long before I crack out the maternity jeans again!! They're so comfy x

 

[motorcyclemom]

I made the switch a couple weeks ago and I am so much more comfortable, no body even noticed til now....

I'm 11 weeks and still fitting in my normal jeans...I lost 5-6 pounds in the last few month because of MS so I can where jeans now that I haven't wear for a while because they where to smal....I'm sure it not for long...I'm feeling better now and should start showing in the next week.
With my last pregnancy I wore my normal jeans with a band almost all pregnancy I hope I can do the same this time

Week 13 with a bloat tummy.

I no longer can button up my Jeans and skirts, so I just zip up, use a rubber band and secure around the slit and button & viola, I can still wear them! Under a longer top of course =)

Saved some money this way ( button extension are rather expensive to me) I ll try hold out as much as I can!
