When do you really

have to start wearing maternity clothes I m 8 weeks everything is getting snug I m so DEPRESSED over this I mean should my regular still fit me!

Re: When do you really

I started wearing maternity clothes at around 10 weeks. My clothes started getting snug right away...my belly popped really fast (you can see my progress in my album...for so long I was the only April Mommy with a belly!)

It is different for everyone, but I think as soon as you are uncomfortable you should start getting some things. Don't go crazy though, because I did and now the original maternity pants I bought are getting too small! Also, you can try just bigger sizes in regular pants for a little while, or the Bella Band with your pants unzippered. HTH!

Re: When do you really

I was lucky and was still able to wear my own pants up until about 15 weeks (some of them I had to use a pin to help close them ) but started to wear some maternity tops around 10 weeks because my boobs got really big

Re: When do you really

i wore maternity pants before shirts. probably about 14-15 weeks or so? Even now at 31 weeks I can get away with larger sized longer regular shirts, although i have some maternity ones.

Re: When do you really

Not a question anyone can answer for you.

Whenever you decide.

ALso At the beginning you tend to bloat up a lot and sometimes it passes.

i was a little bloated around 6-8 weeks and my pants tight.

Now at almost 13 weeks...my regular pants fit ok again.

Re: When do you really

I started wearing larger shirts at around 9 wks, because I went up 2 cup sizes and my belly was bloated.

I am wearing maturnity now at 19wks. However, my belly does not hold up the pants yet and I am still able to wear some of my regular size t-shirts and tanks.

I use a bella band to keep my maturnity pants up. They can also be used with your regular pants to extend their life.
