Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

I was wearing some at 16 weeks....now at 22 weeks i wear mostly maternity pants and shirts....up until 2 weeks ago i was able to pull off most of my clothes with the bella band...but now that my belly has popped, there is nooo way...

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

bella band with my regular pants at 12 weeks. Bella band with maternity pants 16 weeks. i can almost wear my maternity pants w/o it, but they're still a little big. I started wearing larger size tops around 8 weeks, and then some maternity tops at 14 weeks. my girls grew a hole cup size at 7 weeks so i needed bigger stuff on top pretty much immediately.

DD was concieved through IVF and i was on a lot of drugs. I was SO bloated that by 9 weeks I needed maternity pants.

I didnt wear maternity shirts for like my whole pregnancy though...

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

I started wearing some of the smaller band or no band maternity pants at 12 weeks - so comfortable... DH was funny, he wants to know why all pants weren't made like this!

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

I started wearing the bella band at 4 months. My work pants are really getting tight, so I do need to go buy some maternity pants. I am now 17 weeks

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

I started around 17 weeks.

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

I think I started wearing bella band around 16 -17 weeks. I LOVE IT! I still use it at almost 28 weeks and I have not had to buy too many maternity pants.

I got my first pair of maternity pants around the same time. My mom bought me them for Xmas and they were SO comfy!

I just started wearing real maternity shirts at around 26 weeks. I had a few in my closet but they didnt really fit me right until then. I still have a handful of nonmaternity shirts that I like to wear as well.

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

My belly was so bloated...I started wearing maternity pants at 12 wks...until then I had to use a safety pin to keep my pants closed comfortably! I started wearing maternity shirts around 20 or so wks

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

I started wearing the band around 13 weeks and I started wearing maternity pants at 16 weeks- I was just so much more comfortable. I wore maternity tops then too because I didn't feel pregnant- just very bloated. Now I will wear a regular shirt because my belly looks more pregnant- if that makes sense.

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

I got the BeBand from Target at around 15 weeks and im still wearing it with my pre-pregnancy pants now at 18 weeks.

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

Bella band at around 12 weeks and maternity clothes at 20 weeks.

Don't fight it, be comfortable! I can still button some of my regular pants but sitting or bending down is uncomfortable, I'd rather be comfy!

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

Pants, I started here and there as early as 10 weeks. Now, at 15 weeks I can't fit into ANY regular pants and I'm doing all maternity. Tops, right now I'm probably on my last week of regular tops.

I'm an apple-shaped lady, so the 5 pounds I've gained so far this pregnancy have all gone to my gut making maternity clothes VERY comfortable.

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

Bella Band @ 12 weeks

Maternity Pants @ 14 weeks but only because I didn't feel to comfortable in the Bella Band.

I am 17 weeks now and I wear maternity pants even though I can still button and wear some of my non-maternity pants. I just find maternity pants to be so comfy....

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

Maternity Jeans at 13wks and I at the point where my work pants are getting very uncomfy sitting all day.

If your clothes are tight, don't be uncomfortable and get the band or new pants. Everyone is different

Re: When did you start wearing maternity clothes? Or a Bella Band?

My first pregnancy, I used the bella band around 13 weeks... I hated it.

I was in maternity pants by 15 weeks.

This pregnancy, I was wearing my maternity pants at 9 weeks...
