Maternity clothes

[ChildByGrace]

How soon did you have to start wearing maternity or bigger clothes when you were pregnant with your second baby?

Right away! I was completely in maternity clothes by 3 months.

I'm fifteen weeks and I'm still in my regular clothes but I use a rubber band around the button. I think I will need to pull my shirts out soon. My bump is starting to show up. I hope I can wait a few weeks until the weather warms up!

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!

I was well past the 25 week mark when I started wearing maternity clothes with my second child.

no way - i wish i was you lol. My mom was like that too

I said that was for my second child...my first I think I was barely 15 weeks and needing maternity clothes, and with this my third I am in maternity clothes already and have been since about 15-16 weeks.

okay - i get you. :o) that must of been nice with your second to get that far along without the maternity clothes

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.

When I was carrying the twins, I made it to around ten weeks before my clothes started to get uncomfortable, and at around 24 weeks or so, I think that I was already wearing clothing meant for full-term singleton moms! :o

With my second I was in maternity clothes at 6wks. With most of my other pregnancies I was able to hold out until a little later... lol

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.

Im 10 weeks and im still wearing my normal clothes, but im finding that they are tighter than they were even though ive lost weight during this pregnancy (thank you morning sickness ... NOT!)

By 12 weeks I was undoing the top button on my jeans and had no need to wear the belt and by 15 weeks I was in my maternity jeans.
