1st time pregos..

Anyone looking for maternity clothes at 8.5 wks?? I'm 8w2d and my pants are so super tight! Even my leggings what does a girl do? I don't want to buy the next size clothes, just to go to waste.. id rather just get maternity and have it for a long time.
Am I alone? Advice?

TIA

Re: 1st time pregos..

I bought some maternity clothes by that time..dont worry! I would def buy maternity over the next size...

Re: 1st time pregos..

I started buying maternity clothes at 10 weeks. I would def. get maternity over the next size up since you can wear them now and grow into them, and you will see how comfortable they are.

Re: 1st time pregos..

just get maternity pants. they won't go to waste! so glad i did, it was so much more comfortable.

Re: 1st time pregos..

I'm almost 7 wks and having the same problem! I feel so bloated and all my pants are digging into my stomach. I am trying to hold out buying maternity pants but not sure how long that'll last.

Re: 1st time pregos..

I was in maternity clothes by that time, don't worry! I def wouldn't buy bigger clothes, it isn't the same AT ALL.

Re: 1st time pregos..

The next size clothes will come in handy PP. Just a thought.

Re: 1st time pregos..

I started at like 11 weeks. You could try the belly band now, and then go for the maternity. Maternity grows with you! I'm in the same maternity pants I bought at 11 weeks and I'm almost 30 weeks.

I felt like I needed them at like 7 weeks and held out. I tried the next size up but they just looked stupid cause The waist fit but the butt area was big and looked like I had a load in my pants. I suffered through and actually the bloat went away before the belly started and at 12 weeks I just bought my first pair and LOVE THEM.

Re: 1st time pregos..

I think if you buy the next size most of it will be too big on you (except for the waist)

I bought maternity by week 8 because so bloated.. although the books/webpages I was reading by week 9-10ish your uterus is a size of a grapefruit and baby is size of plum???! so its something in there even though its not really baby bump I read "your waist gets thicker" so totally normal!

Anyway, I bought from motherhood maternity - jeans and slacks and they are soo comfy!!! I bought in my regular size and they don't even look like maternity on. There is definitely room to grow in the stretchy belly part on top and its a bit annoying when it the belly part falls down but it does not fall that anyone else notices. I might wear them forever they are so comfortable! I bought petite but still need to wear heels with them. Later on when heels are no longer comfortable I am going to have to hem them. I also been wearing in my regular size empire waist casual summer dresses which you can get away with until september.

oh and I changed my underwear to grandma style bloomers. Super comfortable.

Re: 1st time pregos..

I was in maternity pants by 5 weeks. I'm a 16 normally and they were snug before BFP. I am still able to wear most of my tops. The belly band did not work for me b/c I have a belly and a big butt so I just felt undressed the entire one day I tried it.

Re: 1st time pregos..

I was bought a larger size pair of jeans at 5 weeks. at 9 weeks I was in maternity pants for every day.

Re: 1st time pregos..

At 10 weeks I bought a whole new wardrobe:) I found the belly band to be pretty uncomfortable so just decided to get comfy pants that I could wear throughout.

Re: 1st time pregos..

im 7w3d and have been living in flowy dresses for at least the last week or so. havent even attempted to try any pants besides leggings bc i know they prob wont fit. ive been living off carbs since its the only food that makes me feel better, and other parts of me besides my belly are getting bigger
i just bought a few more tops and dresses that are a size bigger and flowy and and hoping i can get the summer out of doing this at least...
