Non-Maternity clothes: did you wear any during pregnancy?

So I was just looking at some things on AT Loft and thinking about how some of the styles look loose enough to wear during maternity (to some point, not all the way).

Did anyone buy non-maternity clothes during pregnancy? What types of things did you buy?

I hate feeling restricted in where I shop and what I buy so I would love to know that I may be able to get bigger sizes of the styles I like.

I still wear non maternity shirts. They are a little snug around the belly but nothing too bad. About 7 months on I am in full maternity.

I went into maternity about 5 months. Anything I wore (mainly t-shirts or stretch pants) that wasn't maternity was ruined by the end of the pregnancy. You don't realize how much a little belly can ruin a nice sweater or shirt. When the little belly turns to a bigger belly, they're history.

Oooh, thanks for the tip.I didn't even think of the stretching out factor. I guess my belly could ruin the shape of things if they are not cut to accomodate it.

I am due in two weeks and I basically got by the summer by wearing non maternity cropped Juicy sweats and regular size M tee's from Old navy. Even now at 9 mos. I don't wear maternity.

I wore some turtle neck sweaters that were long up until I was about 25 weeks I also had a few empire waisted shirts that were non maternity that I wore that also lasted me until 20-25 weeks and elastic pants from New York and Company up until 20 weeks for work. They are cuffed cotton/spandex pants that have an elastic waist band that is how I got through the first half of pregnancy because my regular pants got tight fast since I always wore fitted cloths so it didnt give much room.

Re: Non-Maternity clothes: did you wear any during pregnancy?

While I had some maternity things- I wore non maternity things up until about 5/6 months....

I did pop or gain an oz, until about 6 months... If anything I was just a little bloated....therefore all of my prepregnancy clothes just fit a little snug!

I would think with the style at the moment leaning towards longer shirts, you could get away with lots of non-maternity clothes. I wore non-mat tunic style tops while I was pregnant, they were super comfy

Re: Non-Maternity clothes: did you wear any during pregnancy?

I wore regular old navy tee shirts till the VERY end. The tee was big enough to stretch over my PG belly, so I went with it.

I would think anything with spandex/stretch, empire waists, and that peasant flowey look would be perfect

Re: Non-Maternity clothes: did you wear any during pregnancy?

I did buy some things that were non maternity. I bought a bigger size. It helps when the clothes are stretch. I also still
wear sweatpants that are non-maternity.
I just wear them low.

Re: Non-Maternity clothes: did you wear any during pregnancy?

I still wear my Old Navy t-shirts and tank tops. There are some shirts that are empire waist that I can get into for now, but I would not spend too much money on clothes I can only wear for a short time and may not be able to wear later on.

Re: Non-Maternity clothes: did you wear any during pregnancy?

Yep, I wore non-maternity for awhile. I think I stopped at around 5 months. In the beginning I bought a few pairs of low rise draw string capris. They were the best. I also wore lots of the velour sweats until it got too warm for those.

Re: Non-Maternity clothes: did you wear any during pregnancy?

I am 32 weeks and have a ton of tanks that I got at Kohls that are the style of long and loose. Things that I could never pull off not pregnant because they would make me look pregnant! But they work great as maternity. I even have a great shirt from Banana that I bought a size up since the style was loose and flowing.
