Ok, I keep seeing all these posts about how everyone is SO bloated and how their clothes really are not fitting. I will admit that I have some of my "tight jeans" that are even a little more tight but by all means they still fit. I am not ready for a bella band nor am I ready for maternity clothes (although both are increadiby comfy). Am I alone in this?
Re: Anyone NOT ready for maternity clothes
WAHHHHHHH! I'm ready for them, but I refuse to buy them:( I am 8 weeks today.
I'm with you. I thought I would be able to make it through the summer since this is #1. I have not wore jeans in a week and half. I'm on to dresses and stretchy skirts.
OMG that freaks me out. I am a 36DD and HATE how big my boobs are....a J really!!!
The past few days, although I can fit into my pants, they are really tight. Today, when I took them off, I had a red, inflamed line on my belly where they were cutting in. So yeah, I put on maternity pants instead. Honestly, a belly band would also be just fine as this point, and I am not in maternity tops, but the pants are so much more comfy than the belly band, so why not?
I think I was in maternity by about...maybe 20 weeks? 25 weeks? with DD.

This! I can put them on and button them but they are tight and uncomfortable. I guess I'm more worried about comfort than whether or not I'm wearing a belly band, stretchy stuff, or maternity.
Wow, do you realize what you just said?

I was a little over tired and probably didn't phrase that well... still not totally awake. My point was I don't like maternity clothes and want to stay in my regular clothes as long as I can before the switch. With DD I gained way too much weight and didn't get it all off before getting pg with DS... I'm just trying to be healthier this time and not overindulge in the "eating for 2" mindset.
Totally agree with you.
At this point with my first pregnancy (nearly 13 weeks) I was definitely still in my regular clothes. I think I started wearing my pants unbuttoned around week 15-18 depending on the fit.
This time around, I busted out my maternity jeans today. My body changed so much earlier for the second one.
I'm with you! I'm pretty sure all of my clothes still fit (minus my nice dress pants! lol) and I'm not ready for maternity clothes (though I'd love to go shopping for a new wardrobe!!).
My favorite pair of shorts are a little tight, but that's about it for me right now, and according to the doc I'm already 8 weeks. (going to OB for first appointment next week!)
I was NOT ready for maternity clothes at all!! Even now at 23 weeks my regular clothes are still fitting! I did break down and buy some maternity clothes and usually wear them to work (i sit all day). I bought the bella band! What a waste of money! Personally, i don't care for it!
By all means, start wearing maternity clothes when you feel more comfortable in them! That's what I do! And I still mix in my regular clothes now and then!
I am only 6 weeks, I have gone Maternity clothes shopping about 5 times already. I love maternity clothes, its cute, comfortable, and it tells the world that you are pregnant.
I am somewhat bloated, but it's definately too early to show off my pegnancy.
Cant wait, come on belly grow......
I'm 19 weeks today and just started wearing some dress pants that are maternity. But almost all of my jeans, shirts and dresses still fit! So I'm going to squeeze into them as long as I can. I'm petite to begin with, so alot of maternity clothes are just too big for me! I say wear your regular clothes as long as you can and embrace your new belly bump!
