Thanks.

I'm finding it so frustrating - i'm 8 weeks. My clothes are ok for most of the day but are tight nearing the end. i don't feel comfortable with undoing buttons and if i wear any of the maternity pants that i have they make me look 6 months pregnant!!!!!!!!!! Not too much of an issue apart from the fact that only my hubby and sister know that i'm expecting at the moment!

If you dont want to give up on your clothes quite yet try a bump band - you can get them at Jojomamabes. Mine has two buttons on it so you can undo your trousers to feel more comfortable but it covers you up nicely - I didnt use mine this way, because I didnt buy it til much later, but it comes with instructions!

Also I dont know if you've noticed but much of this years clothes are quite generous round the middle - I have hardley bought any maternity clothes because I've managed to get "normal" clothes a couple of sizes bigger which still look good.

For this current pregnancy, I started wearing maternity clothes at around 19 weeks. I wasn't really showing much through first trimester--then I woke up one day and there I was LOL

I'm 13 weeks and still fitting in all my pants but some of my shirts have become a little tight, however most maternity shirts are too big! I've just bought a few peasant tops and other shirts that will billow out a little more for my little bitty bump.

we got some just recently (I am in my second trimester ----JUUUUUST----), but I can still wear most of my regular clothes... if I got better with the morning sickness issue and can work out more, I can make them last probably like I did last time, for another month or two... we will just have to see. But, if I can't get up and move a lot, I can see me having some major issues.

This is my first baby, but I have not fit into my pre-prego jeans since I was 7 weeks pregnant. I'm either in my scrubs or stretchy pants, and now in stretchy shorts. I'm 27 wks and still in my loose fitting t-shirts, but they are tight and don't hide how large my belly is at all. I've just now started purchasing and making maternity shirts for myself.
