Not wearing maternity clothes yet. I did buy some to stock up for warmer weather. I've been using a Bella Band for about three weeks now, but not every day.

alexisz523

I have a few pairs of pants for work and LOVE them... no big belly yet but I figure I'll grow into them. Hope everyone has a great day!!

JenBuckaroo

About half...I need the comfort at work! My sis gave me two tubs of super cute maternity clothes, so I love wearing her stuff!

We had our 15 week check on Monday, heard the heartbeat again and it was beating away at 145...we scheduled our "big" u/s for April 22 -but we are not going to find out!

mcjb09

I just had my repeat NT and everything looks great!  No mat clothes yet but my cousin is giving me a lot of her summer dresses etc

luv2lift

Oh YES, I have been since February.  I am HUGE this time.

Good Morning  I have purchased Maternity clothes but have not worn them yet.. I dont know if my ticker is working.. Im 15 weeks 3 days....  I still wear my pre pregnancy jeans but with a rubber band and all my shirts still fit...

MnM1103

I'm not wearing maternity clothes on a daily basis.  However, I did wear my first pair of maternity capris over the weekend b/c all of mine were too tight.  I also have a bella band that I wear with a couple certain pairs of pants.  Besides that, mostly everything still fits.  We'll see how long that lasts!!!!

Michelle&Mark

Are you wearing maternity clothes yet? On & off. When days I want to be comfy or I'm not feeling to hot I will wear them but I still fit into my old jeans so I still wear them.

jessicali1432

I have been wearing maternity clothes. This week I've seen the belly grow more than any other week, so I just wearing them recently to stay comfy.

QOTD: 
Are you wearing maternity clothes yet?

Heck, I've been in maternity pants since 9 weeks!  My reg ones were too uncomfortable and knowing how big I got with DD#1 I vow not to let clothing be uncomfortable for as long as I can control that.

CHRISTIN35:

 You already know you are having a girl and you're not 16 weeks yet?  I'm jealous, I have to wait 4 more weeks to find out.

TheNewMrsCfont

Yes, I started needing bigger pants about 2 weeks ago. I bought a couple pairs of the "real-waist" dress pants from old navy.  They are amazing.

maschmidt16

Not yet but I have been wearing my Bella Band since last week. Unfortunately, most of my shirts are fitted, so it's a bit of struggle to find tops in my closet that fit over the band. I am planning to do some shopping tomorrow.

 I have my regular monthly appointment on Monday, and I can't wait to see the baby! Our BIG appointment is scheduled for 4/15/09 and we are finding out the gender then! Plus I really want to hear that everything is looking good (spine closed, etc).

I have been wearing the bella band for a couple of weeks and it has been nice to have the added stretch. I have lost over 20lbs so far b/c of m/s, but it looks like my belly has 'popped' this week. Maybe it seems more noticeable since I am shrinking everywhere else. I do have on a long maternity t-shirt today with the bella band and the comfort is awesome! I was avoiding maternity clothes before, but if they all feel this great, I am ging for it!

pinkbride2008

Yes pants only though - it is so comfy..and i'd got over it quickly because it feels so much better then wearing my regular pants

MrsBatty

Yesterday was my first day in maternity pants... ?and I have worn just a few shirts on and off. ?I am still holding out to change over to all maternity clothes until I REALLY need to.

jenna0627

Still all my normal clothes. Bella Band with a few pants. Im hoping to still wear my regular clothes until the weather is warmer so i can buy spring/summer maternity.

candlcrazee

Nope..haven't bought any yet, but I don't need to. I have bloating that comes and goes....but otherwise all of my clothes still fit me....... For now!!

sunshinegirl75

I can't believe how many of you are still in regular clothes. I think I am a little jealous. I have been in strictly maternity pants for about 3 or 4 weeks now. I can still wear some regular shirts, but I have been wearing maternity shirts here and there.

jexxie

wearing some maternity clothes - especially shirts.  a friend of mine just gave me a band that hooks between your button on your pants.  it also covers your undies.  it's awesome. 

SUNKISSD3

not in maternity clothes yet... still wearing my regular jeans with my bella band for extra comfort. I usually wear stretch pants or tights with large and longer shirts over them. I have a little belly bump so for right now im still able to fit in most of my regualr clothes... for atleast another wk or 2

t.bird

no maternity clothes- in fact i still fit into all of my clothes just fine!

mrseggs

Nope. I lost 40 pounds before getting pregnant, so I have all of those clothes that still fit. I've been looking at maternity clothes and the cute ones are expensive and the affordable ones are fugly. Grr...

Elaine&Matt

I've been in maternity clothes since 11 weeks.  But this is my second child and I refuse to be uncomfortable.  Maternity pants are so comfortable.

Hopeful1!

Heck yeah, I think this week I will even give up my bella band.  I was hating life yesterday.  I just can't stand any pressure on my stomach

jwpbride

Good morning! I am wearing maternity jeans and one pair of black pants, and a ton of dresses (maternity and not). No shirts, yet, but it won't be long- a lot of my shirts are getting too short. I'm just getting so big! haha

mistirei915

I am wearing some maternity things, like dresses and shirts, just because the way my body is shaped, it is more comfortable.  I have some pants that aren't maternity, but have that roll down panel that will come in handy later on.

LeelaH

QOTD...  Yep!  I have been since 10 weeks.  My belly is pretty big already.

Edited to add:  I have been feeling the baby really move for about a week or so now.  It feels like a fish swimming around in my belly.  I had anterior placenta with my daughter and rarely felt her move until the end when she would move my whole belly.  This time my placenta is posterior and it seems as though I'll be feeling a lot of movement.  They weren't kidding when they said you would feel it sooner with #2. 

 

parsleyqueen

Wearing a maternity skirt for the first time today!!  I love it already--so much more comfy than trying to squeeze myself into regular clothes. 

We have another ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow morning...and we will be telling our family this weekend! 

 

twirlerbride

I have a lot of flowy/long shirts and a couple pair of stretchy work pants that I have been wearing for work.  I do have maternity jeans that I wear on the weekends, but they are still kind of big and tend to fall down.  My birthday is in a couple of days so I am hoping I get some clothes for that so I don't have to buy too many

trish_edmon

I am in full maternity clothes, there is no denying it, granted this is my second so I seemed to have "blossemed" fairly quickly and since I already had maternity clothes I just busted them to feel comfortable.

tobeMrs.Wagner

I am still in my regular clothes.  I am holding out as long as possible - I was so tired of my maternity clothes by the end last time.  I am smaller this time around though so I can't complain.

karen97213

I have bought them, not wearing them everyday. My tops are mostly tight in the chest and that is why I decided to go shopping!

Kristri07

QOTD:  Are you wearing maternity clothes yet?

Yup, I can still wear most of my pants (not jeans) but for almost all the shirts I am wearing now are either maternity or flowing shirts from prepregnancy.  My baby bump is about to make itself known

 

LizBusch

no, just a belly band

egsquared

Yes!  I just started wearing maternity pants to work this week.  They are sooooo much more comfortable than my pre preg pants and the bella band.  Haven't bought any maternity tops yet, and I don't think I'll need to for awhile.

Lins610

No maternity clothes yet, only family knows I'm expecting, I have to disguise my small pooch at work, but I'm hoping to tell in the next two weeks. I have some maternity clothes for when I do 'pop'. 

 I'll find out if I've gained any weight at my appt today.

At1stsight

Yep; started at about 12w doing some maternity pants. As of 14w I have been in maternity full time. Tops still vary (I'm wearing lots of non-maternity tops) but only maternity bottoms work now. I LOVE my new Secret Fit Belly pants! They're pricey but I got them on sale ($50) and they are totally worth it.

sare_bear

Yes, because if I didn't I would be walking around without pants on... and we can't have any of that can we?  LOL, somehow I seems to be growing at a rapid rate.

kiki4

I've been wearing my maternity pants, using the bella band to hold them up.  It's way more comfortable than trying to wear my regular jeans with the bella band.
