With my first they didn't fit or look right until after 20 weeks. Closer to 24 weeks I probably started. With my second I'd say prob 12 weeks!!

Re: When did you wear maternity clothes?

Around 24 weeks

Eta...I never ever wore anything full panel either. I hated anything over my belly. I wore the maternity jeans and pants that went under the belly.
and mainly dresses.

Re: When did you wear maternity clothes?

My regular jeans started getting uncomfortable at 16 weeks so I got maternity at 18 weeks. Unless its a fitted maternity shirt it is still too big at 19 weeks now. With my first maternity dresses didn't look right until about 22 weeks.

I had a few pieces by 18-20 weeks, but didn't start really wearing it until 24 weeks.

Re: When did you wear maternity clothes?

If I'm remembering right, for my first pregnancy, 26 or 27 weeks, this time, 22 or 23 weeks.

I was about 14-15 weeks when I had to switch to maternity pants. I probably could've done that whole belly band thing for a while but I figured why not just go for the gusto. I'm required to wear jeans to work so I cant live in yoga pants like a lot of ladies do. I wish I could wear comfy pants to work!

I got maternity clothes early.
First time, 15 weeks (but I did buy bigger pants before then).
Second time around, 12 weeks.
I wear fitted pants & couldn't really work them without looking fat... And being uncomfortable.
With shirts, I waited til I had a bump.
So... Go & have fun! You will have to buy them anyway!!!

I was in maternity pants at about 14 weeks. I couldn't deal with the rubber band trick to long, I was to uncomfortable. Shirts probably around 16-17 weeks, but I was limited to my longer shirts that would cover the panel.

Re: When did you wear maternity clothes?

I'm 15 weeks and I'm going to start wearing some of my maternity clothes this week. 2 of my work pants and 1 pair of jeans still fit comfortably. The rest are too tight now.

Wow, I'm so early compared to all of you! With my first, I only gained like 3 pounds in my first trimester but the "rubber band trick" / Bella Band stopped working around 14 or 15 weeks. I was so bloated so fast.

With this one, forget it, my regular pants stopped fitting around 10 or 11 weeks. Luckily I'd lost about 10 pounds a few months earlier and still had my older, bigger-size pants around. Those fit my waist, but were too big in the legs, and I made do until 13 weeks. Then I just gave up and went into maternity.

I needed them by week 11, my belly blew up fast. I grew until week 14, then from week 14-18 I basically stayed the same size, then got huge. I liked full panel because it gave me extra support.

#1- around 24w. Didn't need to but my jeans were getting so big bc I lost so much weight that it just made sense to buy maternity.

#2- 9w or so. Not out of necessity. They're just comfy!!

Around 9 weeks I think. I'm now 13 weeks and can't fit into any pre-pregnancy clothes. The leggings are my favorite since they are so comfy.

I went early (probably around 10 weeks). I was so bloated and uncomfortable by the end of the day that I just caved.

I think it all depends on how you feel in your regular clothes! With my first pregnancy, I carried lower I guess bc my pants didn't fit very early on and I wore the belly band for awhile. This time around I got bigger quicker but I still fit in my pants so I must be carrying higher. I wear my maternity jeans now and try and wear leggings as often as I can! I switched to maternity shirts also! I'm 17 weeks!

Re: When did you wear maternity clothes?

The first time around I switched super early. I can't remember when exactly but I was wearing a belly band by 7 weeks! This time I am 15+ weeks and still wearing my regular clothes. I have one pair of pants that I need the band for but everything else fits me just fine. My DS was almost 11lbs at birth so I am hoping this is a sign that this baby will be a little smaller.
