Probably a stupid question about Maternity Clothes

So it is about that time for me to go shopping for maternity clothes. My pants are not really closing, and I need to look decent when I go to work.

When buying maternity pants, how does the sizing run?? As you grow, do you grow into different sizes or will the pants I buy now fit me through my whole pregnancy???

Re: Probably a stupid question about Maternity Clothes

Everyone is different, but for me the maternity pants i bought in the beginning fit me almost throught the entire pregnancy. The ones that didn't were the low rise ones. Since my little girl is sitting so low the only ones that worked for me are the full panel ones and i could wear them in the beginning all the way to now(almost 34 weeks) and still have room to grow.
As for the sizing, i was able to buy them in my regular size, i think a few i may have gone up from a 6 to an 8 but they all fit pretty good.

All of the secret fit belly pants I got at 14 weeks still fit me at almost 34 weeks.
The shirts, however, I have had to get a larger size because the ones I originally got are no longer covering my belly.

Re: Probably a stupid question about Maternity Clothes

i actually buy a smaller size in maternity pants than i did in regular pants!

i usually carry my weight in my midsection, so the elastic waist maternity pants alleviate that issue...
