Mom's preggo with #2 or more

When did you start wearing maternity clothes with your 2nd, 3rd etc????

I havent gained anything but Im starting to get that bloated puffy feeling/look- not sure how much longer my pants are gonna fit

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I am 20 weeks and still in my regular work pants but I started wearing maternity shirts a few weeks ago. I can not wear my jeans though.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I was wearing mine at 4 weeks.... and at my 8week appt. I have already gained 5lbs.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I did get bloated so much faster with #2 and actually for Christmas that year (I was 12 weeks) I did wear maternity pants that ran small. It was only ones that fit as far as maternity clothes went. I wasn't into real maternity pants until 23 or 24 weeks (it was the same for #1). I also didn't gain any weight with #2 until my 24 week visit.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I started wearing some early on, depended on how i was feeling that day. Now that im 25 weeks i just officially stopped being able to fit in my low rise reg. jeans.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

i gained maybe 1 or 2 lbs my first trimester (3rd baby, actually with 2nd too) but my pants were unbuttoned from about 8 weeks on. I made the move into maternity pants around 15 weeks and shirts around 17. I really started popping around 19-20 weeks with this one. I felt like i looked pregnant, but i really didnt to anyone else, then all the sudden- everyone was able to tell.
With DS (#2) it happened sooner, i think i looked PG around 15 weeks.
it was a little backwards this time.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

At 17 weeks I put on my first maternity pants.

I was also very bloated and puffy in the beginning. I thought I was showing by 13 weeks but then it went away for a few weeks.

Now, at 23 weeks, it still depends. Most of my work clothes don't fit anymore but I am sitting here in my regular pre-pg jeans.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I went into maternity with my first around 17 or 18 weeks I think. This time I was in them by 12 weeks.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I am 6w2d and I think I'm ready for maternity pants. I feel sooo bloated.
Before I got pg, I lost weight and went down a size. Now, those pants don't fit and I went back up to the original pants (a little big, but more comfy).
Im soooo bloated this time around.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I'm 14 wks 3 days and still in my regular clothes. They are starting to get snug around my waist but I have the Bella bands I can wear.

With DS, I was in them by 18 weeks I think.

I've only gained 4 lbs (at 22w), but my belly became pretty well-formed at about 8 weeks, and by 9w I was in my small Maternity clothes. At about 18 weeks I could ONLY wear maternity and am wearing my medium maternity pants.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I was in smaller maternity pants by 10 weeks....not because I *had* to but they were definitely more comfortable.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I still fit into my jeans at 23 weeks but most of them are low cut, like below the belly button ... so thats why. I do have other maternity pants that I wear, cargo type pants from Old Navy. I wouldnt fit into my dress pants b/c they are all cut a little higher on my stomach. Of course, shirts are a different story. I bought a lot of long cotton ones from PacSun so they still fit but all my other shirts are maternity...I'd say I was wearing some of those around 17/18 weeks.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I'm 13 wks & still in my regular pants, but sometimes on the weekend, I'll wear my maternity jeans just b/c they are more comfortable. W/ DD #1, I was in maternity by maybe 17wks or so.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I just want to say, I LOVE this post from you. I am still so excited to know you are preggo

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

By 8 weeks I was wearing maternity pants, I was so blaoted and now at 13 1/2 weeks I have a belly! Congrats to you!

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

i was in them at 7 weeks, (Last week) i have not gained number pounds yet, but very bloated and showing already.

Re: Mom's preggo with #2 or more

I am currently 15 weeks and still fit into my pre-PG pants but are tight. I do wear some maternity pants now mostly for comfort but those are still big. My last PG i didn't go into full blown maternity till i was almost 20 weeks.
