Who else is having trouble fitting into their maternity clothing?

I AM!!! My pants keep rolling down and are getting tighter. I started out with a small selection of clothing, basically Liz Lange pants in different colors from Target. I had to upgrade to a bigger size when they stopped fitting me, and NOW these are getting tighter and harder to keep up.

I REALLY don't want to continue buying any more clothing. As it is, casual stuff I bought earlier..doesn't fit now so that was a waste!

What to do? Have to get dressed up for work..but I'm getting limited. It's to the point where I want to throw a sheet on and call it a day! Chat Icon

I wore most of mine until week 30. Then I had to get a few more pieces. That's why I did not buy too much at the beginning.

Have you tried a Bella Band to help you extend the life of your pants? I love mine. I am wearing it with pre-preggo pants today (23weeks).

I always noticed that as my belly got bigger - my pants would roll - I hated the over the belly maternity pants, even the half/panel ones annoyed me they rolled down even quicker -
I found the ones that fit below my belly were the most comfy.

I really thought most of my clothes would fit until the end.

I agree with the liz lange and the rolling! It's awful. I stopped wearing them. And those are low panels!

I'm too close to buy anything new (haven't for a few weeks). But the worst is my belly showing when the shirt lifts up...ugh...

Problem is my hips have gotten bigger..so the bella band although it works to keep pants up, I can't get the pants on and if I can they are super tight in the rear area! LOL!

Re: Who else is having trouble fitting into their maternity clothing?

My shirts are getting a bit snug on in the belly which surprises me because they seemed so huge in the beginning.

Most of my pants fit ok but I got a lot of low and 1/2 panel that sit under my belly.

My problem is that I have become a slob and have ruined at least 3 shirts eating and not realizing I've dropped food.

I bought a few very comfortable casual/work dresses at old navy that I think I'll be living in pretty soon.

A few shirts got tight, but otherwise I bought everything really big so they all still fit.

Re: Who else is having trouble fitting into their maternity clothing?

I have a bunch of the Liz Lange pants for work too, I've lived in these the entire time I've been showing. Over the last few weeks, they've gotten tight right below where the elastic on the band ends...really tight, it's uncomfortable, even as I pull them lower & lower Chat Icon

I refuse to buy new clothes though at this point, even a few weeks ago I refused! Chat Icon
