Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

I'm almost 6 weeks. Today is the first morning I don't seem as bloated as I've been. I'm sure that will change as the day progresses though. With #1, I was wearing maternity pants by 16 weeks. I'm wondering how quickly I may need to get pants this time. I'm a different size so I definitely need to do some shopping.

How much earlier were you wearing maternity pants the 2nd time around? Was it hard to hide the bump before the end of the 1st trimester?

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

2nd PG, and I hid the bump til 16 weeks in regular clothes (but not tight fitting shirts; long cardigans, etc.). Moved to maternity pants at 18 weeks.

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

11 weeks. Same as the first.

But I have certain maternity clothes I really liked & my non-maternity clothes are usually on the tight/fitted side (I don't wear leggings, sweatshirts, t shirts, etc.)

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

My 1st- 20 weeks
2nd- 12 weeks
3rd- 8 weeks

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

This is my 3rd. Somewhere between 12-16 weeks you could no longer hide the bump and I was in maternity clothes.

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

I think with my 1st I was at 14 weeks.
I don't rememeber with my 2nd
My 3rd at 9 weeks I happily had my maternity pants on! I def had a belly and people were noticing & talking!

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

6-7 weeks... I blew up.

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

i was actually later with my 2nd.

The first i was in them by 8 weeks.

This one, i was bloated very early on but held on. Then the bloating went down after a few weeks and was able to hold out until 21 weeks i think it was.

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

I'm 18w now with my 2nd and should have been in maternity clothes for the past 3 or 4 weeks, but they're too big on me now & keep falling down (I was heavier with my 1st dc). So for now I'm stuffing myself into my regular pants & am feeling & looking terrible. I hope to go shopping tomorrow...

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

With #1 I wored the bella band from weeks 15/16 - 21 and switched to maternity pants at week 21.

I'm now 18 weeks with #2 and still wearing the bella band. My guess is I'll make the switch around 21 this time too. I've tried on my maternity pants and they're too big to wear, so the bella band it is!

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

I'm almost 18 weeks and wearing some maternity pants now. Most are still too big on me so I usually wear a belly band to hold them up a little better. I hate this stage..too big for my regular pants and not big enough for the maternity pants

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

2nd pregnancy - by 8 weeks I was in solely maternity pants.

At 16 weeks, I can still wear lots of non maternity shirts, but always maternity pants.

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

With #1, I started wearing maternity clothes at around 18 weeks.
With #2, I'm 12 weeks so far & I'm still in regular clothes.

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

#1 around 17/18 weeks
#2 I'm 15 weeks now and will probably be switching over pretty soon!

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

#1-16 weeks
#2- 11 weeks

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

Honestly, Id say 7 weeks LOL With my 1st it was 11 weeks where I couldnt button my pants anymore. I just blow up right away LOL

Re: Moms having their 2nd, 3rd, etc: When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

During my second pregnancy 6 months and during my third around 3 months. The more pregnancies the sooner I would begin to show and soon as I show maternity clothes it is.
