Broke down ordered maternity pants

lafsalot

DH has been pestering me because I haven't bought any maternity clothes... Up until 2 weeks ago my regular clothes fit pretty well and I have some larger clothes in my closet but it has been warm.... Today I broke down, ordered maternity yoga pants, 4 tops and 3 nursing bras...

I also ordered diapers and some stuff for LO while I was at it.

I so hate you right now. I have been in maternity since before first tri ended.

I started wearing maternity clothes in mid November. It's the best decision I've ever made and I LOVE my maternity pants!!!!

I've been in maternity clothes forever now. I can't imagine wearing normal clothes now.

As a side note, on my hospital tour, an extremely pregnant woman was wearing non-maternity clothes and she looked terrible. Unbuttoned jean shorts and a top that exposes your popping out naval is not a good look.

I've been wearing maternity clothes since 14w! I still fit into some regular shirts through 2nd tri, but I'm pretty much all maternity now. I love them! Soooo comfy...

I haven't bought any maternity cloths... Other than two belly bands. One black and one white. I just tuck the flaps instead of buttoning them... And my shirts I've got lucky with because I buy long things. And some of my old shorter dresses are now extra cute shirts

I bought maternity clothes at around 14 weeks...wasn't even a question. Why would anyone NOT want to wear an elastic waistband as soon as they had an excuse?!?

Have you been adjusting the waist? I have been doing that but i bought maternity pants months ago. I hate my maternity pants because some brands just fit awful. I look like I bought my maternity clothes too soon.

Mine are from five years ago and I hate them! I bought a few things from three years ago but since this is our last I haven't bought new ones. Sunday I broke down and starred wearing them. Goodbye skinny pants, hello flared jeans X_X

Edit: read started, not starred!

This has to be a joke.  Are you for real?  This boggles my mind.  You are a lucky biznitch.

I hadn't really needed them because I lost weight in the first trimester, second trimester I only gained a few pounds, and I haven't had to adjust my waist band or use a belly band yet but some are getting a little tight. Belly started growing like crazy in the last month. I bought some pants that were too big last year and as the weather cools off I can wear those. I should note that most of my capris for summer have elastic in the wasteband somewhere or drawstrings so that has helped as I have changed sizes. My bigger issue has been my hips are starting to spread causing some of my pants to look too tight. I'm ready for cooler weather and comfy pants.

LOL.... maternity clothes is ridiculously expensive- so I can see why she's being stubborn.

On another note, I've been wearing maternity since 2nd Tri... I could never have worn regular pants, not because my pants didn't fit but because I felt so uncomfortable wearing them. Something about the way they pressed against my belly.

I started wearing them around 17w. I might have been able to go longer without but maternity pants are much more comfortable and I DEFINITELY look more pregnant in them as opposed to regular pants witch dig in and gave me major roll issues.

If it makes anyone feel better, my shoes haven't fit! And I can't find any that will fit well, my feet are really wide so I have had a hard time with comfortable foot ware that I can wear to work. Been sticking with some really wide sandles, then my puppy got ahold of them!! So I am still struggling with shoes!

(sigh) I just find clothes in general so uncomfy.

Omg last time I tried on my regular jeans, which was about a month ago, I couldn't get them past my thighs! Hahaha lucky you!

This! I'm totally jealous!

I just stopped wearing my normal jeans at 30 weeks.. I used a belly band for a week before that, but then just gave up. They were low rise, though, and I hate the maternity panels. I feel like they're going to fall down or show. I have no idea what to do in the cold weather.. I don't want a maternity coat!
