When did your pants start getting tight?

I hope I'm not gaining weight already. I'm already noticing my work pants are a bit snug on the waist.

How far along your pregnancy did you start noticing this?

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

mine are really starting to get tight now. I am wearing jeans with a rubberband instead of buttoning them. I have to unzip them a little too! It started being uncomfortable at around 12 weeks. Now I am 13 weeks 5 days.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

13 weeks....they are still tight, and I need to start looking for some more pants.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

depending on the pants, around 12 weeks.

I bought a pair of low-rise jeans 1 size up from the Gap and just stopped wearing them about a month ago! I'm 34 weeks almost.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

still closing, but to be more comfortable I need to get a bella band (this week!)

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

I found in the very beginning I was bloated. It lasted a couple of weeks and then went away. I am still in my regular clothes at almost 26 weeks but I haven't gained a ton of weight yet. Everyone is different. I know people who were in maternity clothes at 8 weeks because their clothes were a little snug and it was more comfortable.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

8 weeks. I gained a lot in my first trimester- thankfully it has leveled off!

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

My problem is I am very bloated right now. I'm trying not too take in too much salt to avoid too much water retention and am trying to stick with eating good carbs.

Hopefully I don't gain too much during this trimester being I have two more to go, it's just the beginning!

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

I popped a button this morning on my work pants and I'm 7 weeks & change..

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

5 weeks, but its my 2nd baby.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

I think I bought the bella band around 10 weeks and by 13 weeks I was wearing maternity pants. It didn't really have much to do with weight gain either - I only gained 5 lbs. during the first trimester - my baby was just growing A LOT!

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

Started to get tight around 10 weeks and I started wearing maternity around 13 weeks

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

I'm almost 8 weeks now - my pants have been tight for at least 2 weeks.
I've had a lot of bloating, but I haven't gained weight yet (I weigh myself every Saturday). It's so weird to me that I can weigh the same, but my pants all feel so tight!
I can button them, but it's so uncomfortable that I've been leaving them unbuttoned whenever possible!
I went to NY & Co yesterday and got a few pairs of the stretchy pants they have - I went up one size, so they do fit now, but they'll last me a couple of months.
Can't wait to wear them!

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

Around 9-10 weeks I started with the tummy band. At 12 1/2 weeks I'm waering maternity pants. I probally could still get away with the tummy band but the maternity pants are soooo much more comfortable.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

i was very uncomfortable as early as 7 weeks, especially towards the end of the day.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

I believe starting 12 weeks.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

I started using the bella band around 12 weeks.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

10 weeks they were tight... used the bella band

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

I am in the 8th week and today I noticed that my pants left a small mark on my waist.

Re: When did your pants start getting tight?

Right around 12 weeks.

I'm 13 weeks now and have been wearing maternity pants for the past week or so.
