Re: When did you ladies

Im just about 10 weeks and I am still in my regular clothes. I bought a pair of maternity 0-3 month type jeans that expand...they are still too big. ....and the maternity shirts are huge on me( in the hip .stomach area)....

BUT my chest like yours is sooo big. I went up about 3 sizes already and so none of my pre -pg shirts fit. I have bought some new ones in a larger size and live in sweatshirts the rest of the time unfortunatly.

Im gonna order the bella band cause i can see my regular jeans are gonna start getting tight real soon.....

Re: When did you ladies

I will be 16 weeks tomorrow. I bought a bunch of maternity clothes yesterday. All the maternity shirts are still too big, but my jeans are getting a little snug. Because maternity pants are still too big I bought the belly band and wore it today. It felt great!

Re: When did you ladies

I'm 10 1/2 weeks and I just bought a few jeans at Old Navy that are actually REALLY great. I've been living in them. My regular jeans were getting a bit snug to be comfortable. I also bought some bigger sized tops at Target. Most important for me right now were the jeans.

6 weeks. at 10 weeks, there is NO mistaking what that bulge is now.

Re: When did you ladies

I bought my first round when I was visiting a friend in Europe at 9 wks. My boobs also got really big right away so many of my shirts didn't fit right, but I really didn't need maturnity. I found these great stretchy shirts that fit me then (with some folds) and that will expand with me as I grow. (Tried them on with the belly pillow.) And they look like very nice, regular shirts. I started wearing them right away and no one at work even realized that they were maturnity. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything exactly like them here.

Maybe if you can get some shirts in a larger size that will hold you until you're ready for maturnity. You'll probably get use of them pp while your body returns to normal.

Re: When did you ladies

I was very sick and lost 10lbs in the 1st trimester.I didn't have 10lbs to lose(i only weighed 110lbs at 5'3") Was very sick for 5 months. So I did not wear maternity clothes until my 7th month. Yup, 7! I did wear some regular stretchy clothes, sweats, leggings, things like that. And I wore my old navy overalls till the bitter end.

Re: When did you ladies

I was contemplating it a few weeks ago, but I think I was just bloated b/c now my skinny jeans fit even though my belly grew a little.

Re: When did you ladies

I bought a few things at about 8 or 9 weeks...but they are still too big on me.
My regular clothes are a bit tight now though, so I'm at that terrible in-between stage!

Re: When did you ladies

My pants are still OK...some don't fit, but seriously I have no idea what to do about shirts. My boobs are GIGANTIC and no shirts seem to fit!!! I have a couple of maternity shirts that fit the boob area, but hang everywhere else!!! I can't stand the in between stage!

Re: When did you ladies

I just bought a few this weekend and i am 15 weeks
