17 weeks is definitely not early! I started at 6 weeks!

And 9 lbs after 17 weeks is not a helluva lot! You're nearly halfway there and you're nowhere near half of the 25-35 recommended avg. weight gain.

I bought my first pair of maternity jeans at 10 weeks. It was a complete relief to have something to wear that wasn't uncomfortable.

Take the plunge!! You'll be glad you did!

Re: Ugh... I have to buy maternity clothes.....

I started buying maternity clothes at 12 Weeks. My jeans started to get very uncomfortable around that time. I still get away with non-maternity shirts. That is pretty good you went this long with out maternity pants. I gained less then that so far, and there is no way I could button my jeans at this point.

9lbs is a completely normal weight gain.

I *graduated* to maternity clothes last week.. I am up 19lbs and am almost 20 weeks.

Today though, I am wearing my normal pants with the bella band and a oversided baby doll shirt

17 weeks it's not too early! As soon as I found myself getting uncomfortable in my normal clothes I didn't waste any time buying maternity clothes, they are SO much more comfortable!!!!

I'm 18 weeks and not in maternity yet but everyone is right - they are so much more comfortable. I tried on a pair of full panel maternity pants that my mom bought me and I was like aaahhhhh!! But there's something wrong with me, at 18 weeks, I just don't feel ready to look officially pregnant yet. But I'm a big weirdo, don't go by me. Chat Icon
