Maternity clothes

Maternity clothes

I am just about 12 weeks, and am barely squeezing into my pants.

I was thinking of just running up to the Old Navy outlet and grabbing a pair of jeans in the next size up. I figure I'll probably need them after the baby comes anyway.

But, is this a waste? Should I go to maternity clothes already? I feel like it's still so early. What did you girls do?

Re: Maternity clothes

i made the jump to maternity clothes at about 14 weeks. i used the belly band from about week 8-14, and still use it now for my work pants because i just havent had time to go buy some.. Old Navy maternity jeans are the most comfortable jeans i have ever owned!!!

YES!! And if you buy them earlier you will get even more wear out of them. Chat Icon

Re: Maternity clothes

If you're like me, you'll end up buying clothes in diff sizes like 3x... Do yourself a favor and only buy 1 pair of jeans if you need them and the rest plan on buying stretchy pants... You'll live in them bc they can expand

Thanks girls.

Maybe I will look into the belly band. I just don't want to spend too much $$ on clothes that I won't be in for very long.

Thanks again!

Re: Maternity clothes

Go for it you will not regret it! I went into maternity clothes around 18wks and I wish I would have went sooner. You will feel so much more comfortable.

Re: Maternity clothes

I am 19 weeks and not wearing maternity pants yet. (Not sure how though I am doing this though!) I am actually too lazy to iron all of my maternity pants for work so I am putting it off!
I have been noticing that my pants hook now kinda sticks out and makes it look like there is a lump under my shirt so I really do need to get out my ironing board!

I went to maternity clothes at 12 weeks when I was PG with DD. I am now only 8 weeks and will probably be in maternity clothes within another week or 2
