When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

[Penguin20]

I never needed to wear maternity clothes as my bump was small, my clothes did get a little tight and I did get to the point where I wanted to be naked lol but I just wore dresses and that got me through

I bought my first set of maternity clothes today, mainly because even though my trousers still fit I prefer something looser around my stomach and I have a bump now which is only going to get bigger.

Usually I start wearing maternity clothes around 13 ish weeks. Don't have much of a bump but the bloat is brutal, especially the 4th time around ugh!!!!!

I think this varies so much for each woman, but common round-ligament pain often starts in the second trimester, which is when you'll feel lower belly pain, and also get to feeling that weight and pressure on your back/pelvis. This is when you'll want those really supportive maternity clothes!!

Mumberry makes great active-wear that have built-in Mum-band belly support for when your bump does get a little heavy!! They can be found Amazon as well.

Does anyone else really dislike maternity pants? The panel seems constructing. I feel like I'm smooshing baby.

Around 16 weeks but even now (25 weeks tomorrow) I can still fit in my baggier normal clothes x

With my first, I made it until about 8 months before I really had to wear maternity clothes (I gained 46 1/2 lbs with him). With my second, I had to wear maternity pants starting at 14 weeks, as my regular dress slacks for work were getting uncomfortable (I ended up being 4 lbs less than I was pregnancy when I had him).

I wore the ones that the band came under the tummy. Much more comfortable than the ones that came up over my belly.

It was around 16 weeks in my last pregnancy, when my regular clothes became uncomfortable. Then by about 33 weeks I'd outgrown most of my maternity clothes 😂

I was 16 weeks with my first when I started buying maternity clothes, about 12 weeks with my second, and just bought a pair of maternity shorts last night at about 8.5 weeks. I'm getting away with wearing floaty tops for now over them.
