When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

Just curious

I've already been browsing- I'm afraid to actually order anything "just in case." I'll feel better about it after the first tri is over.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I was wearing pants at 11-12 wks, and tops, not until 16+

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I feel like I only need bigger pants after i eat!...before that I fit in my normal pants fine!!...Im hoping to hold off as long as possible!!..Going to stick with leggings and log shirts!!..That is what i am hoping to live in!!

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I bought a couple of things around 10 weeks (I was in SC and there was a Motherhood outlet). I didn't start wearing though really until 12 weeks.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I'm going shopping this weekend ... i'm 17weeks ...

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I gained a lot of bloat early, and at 6 weeks bought a pair of pants and a pair of jeans. They still don't fit me and I'm still in normal clothes at 13 weeks.

Belly is expanding but I've been loosing weight overall due to MS. (nothing docs are worried yet, about since I was 20 lbs overweight to begin with)

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I'm only 8 weeks, so hoping not to use them any time soon. But I just ordered 3 pairs of pants because I'm tall and I found pairs that would be long enough and I didn't want to loose them! I'm planning on using the belly band for a while until I need the pants.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I just bought my first pair of pants yesterday. I am 23 weeks.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

i bought one pair of pants around 14 weeks, then bought most of my maternity clothes around 20-21 weeks.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I think around 25 weeks. Before that Bella Band was my best friend!

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

10 weeks due to the monstrosities on my chest-I looked like a porn star. I started getting bottoms in the last week and a half (I will be 14 weeks Sunday) and I got the bella band, which is okay, but I didn't love because I hate things touching my belly. I really wore mostly dresses and still do because it is ridiculously hot where I am.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

pants i started in about 17 weeks.
tops..a lot of the tops i've bought were regular tops..just a size larger.

I had bought a few items maybe at 14 weeks..but i was in denial about having to wear them. i finally broke down and wore the jeans i bought from old navy..and was like "wow..these are really comfy!"

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

Pants about 8wks because my jeans are lower rise and cut right over the expanding uterous Shirts...I have a few, but can still easily wear regular shirts. I'm short so most shirts are to long to begin with. At this rate I don't think i'll really NEED maternity shirts until 8 or 9 months

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

4 months.

Prior to that bella band & a few larger/longer tops(not maternity).

I didn't want to have to buy 2 seasons of maternity clothes.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I'm almost 35 weeks, and havent worn any maternity clothes. I'm wearing some of my loser work pants w/the bella band.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

week 13-14 for pants. I'm still in regular tops though.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

i just bought a couple capris and dug my old maternity cloths out of the attic.. pants are becoming more of a problem right now than tops.... I will be 12 weeks this weekend.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

Aound 11 or 12 weeks. I was also pregnant with twins at the time so I think I grew pretty quickly.

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I think I was about 18 weeks. I just got a couple of tops, mainly. I was wearing the bella band with my regular jeans until about 22 weeks but then it just got to be TOO uncomfortable so I got some maternity jeans. Ahh...so comfy!!

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I think Im going to have to go out this weekend just for pants- pants that fit me last week are much much tighter and uncomfortable this week.
Im in denial

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

i bought most of my maternity clothes around 16-18 weeks. But i still have a few tops that i wear now that are not maternity

Re: When did you start buying/wearing maternity clothes?

I started wearing maternity pants at around 8-9 weeks (it's so much more comfy to sit in those at work)

But at 13 weeks i'm still wearing regular shirts.
