When did you...
Start wearing maternity clothes? I am 11 weeks today. My clothes still fit fine (some of my blouses are now pulling around by chest). I have gained about 4 lbs but I feel like it is mostly bloating. Just curious as to what to expect.

Re: When did you...
i felt bloated early on, but i didnt buy my first pair of maternity pants until i was 14 wks. Most of my pants didnt fit by that pt!! At around 11 wks I was wearing a lot of stretch pants...i felt like a "muffin top" in my regular pants!!

Re: When did you...
Im at 11 weeks too, and can totally relate. I bought one pair of maternity jeans just this week , because there is no way I can even attempt to get my old jeans closed and using a rubber band to keep them shut was way too uncomfortable. Ive limited my wardrobe to the 2 or 3 pairs of pants that can still work with the rubber band, and will eventually give in to getting some comfortable clothes. My biggest concern is buying them now and in a few months growing out of them. Thats the only reason im trying to wait.

Re: When did you...
I am 15weeks and started wearing maternity clothes last weekend. I was doing the rubberband trick for a few weeks but it just wasn't working anymore. Old navy was having a sale and I saw it as a sign so I picked up a few things. Oh boy do I feel better. It is nice to be able to breathe again.

Re: When did you...
I'll be 14 weeks on Monday and still fit into several pairs of capris (I only give that another week or two) The problem I am having is with shirts- most of them are getting too short and tight. I have bought several baby doll type summer shirts - I am trying to hold out until I go school shopping next month.

Re: When did you...
Early on all my weight was concentrated on my thighs so by 11 weeks NONE of my regular pants fit. (by regular I mean jeans & dress pants). I bought my first pair of maternity jeans at 10 weeks 6 days!! The waist needed to folded down b/c it was too big, but everything else fit great.

Re: When did you...
I'm 15 weeks tomorrow.. I've been in maternity clothes for the last 2 weeks. NONE of my pants fit -- I hate anything to be too tight around my waist now. And I don't own many skirts, but only 2 of them fit -- as long as I pull them all the way up to my chest to zipper them.
I bought a lot of summer stuff on sale, since fall clothes are coming out now. I have room to grow into everything I bought, and I can finish the summer comfortably. I wasn't worried about the clothes not fitting me down the line because it's summer - by the time these clothes don't fit it will be too cold to wear them anyway. I'll buy warmer clothes in September.

I am 24 weeks and will need to start wearing maternity soon. I am uncomfortable and i don't want to keep buying bigger size pants.

Re: When did you...
I think I started wearing maternity around 11 weeks. My boobs grew and my belly was a little bigger. I wore my regular pants with the Bella Band until around 13 weeks.

I'm 14 weeks and I own one pair of maternity pants so far, they were on clearance I couldn't resist. I still have a couple of pants that still fit w/o the button though.

Re: When did you...
At 10 weeks all my pants were tight and I made the leap to maternity pants. I didn't really need the shirts at that point but they are longer and worked better with the maternity pants.
