Ok who is NOT in maternity clothes?

I have gained 8 pounds and have a definite pregnant belly, but I'm still fitting in my normal jeans and starting to wear longer shirts to compensate for the growing belly - which thank goodness have been in style for awhile because I have plenty! 

Is anyone else carrying a bit higher so normal pants are still comfortable?

  • I am still in all of my regular clothes.

  • I've only started wearing some this week... yesterday I wore a top and today some leggings and that's only because I didn't do laundry this weekend and don't have anything clean except maternity clothes or summer clothes!
  • I am; granted I'm wearing mostly leggings or tights with empire waist dresses. I bought a pair of super comfy maternity tights but they fall of when I walk... husband always freaks out when I wear the regular ones because he thinks I'm crushing the baby (eye roll).

  • I started wearing maternity jeans, just because they where a lot more comfortable then my regular jeans with a bellyband. A plus is the length is so awesome!! I wish they would use this inseam on all petite clothing!  I still am wearing my old work pants with a bellyband on some pairs.

  • I'm still in all of my regular clothes, but they're starting to get tight.  Keep in mind that I'm due at the end of June, so a little less along.

  • I can still wear my work pants - I switched to maternity jeans 2 weeks ago, but mostly for comfort. I'm not wearing any maternity shirts, but I tended to wear long tank tops under my shirts at work anyways.
  • I'm not wearing any yet. I have been using my band with my regular pants, but today I'm actually not wearing one. I seem to feel bigger some days than other days (weird).

  • I'm still in my regular jeans.  I just started using my Be-Band in the past few days with one pair.  I've worn a couple maternity tops because of the length, but I really don't need them yet.

     This!! It's the weirdest thing! I've been wearing the maternity jeans for a few weeks now, but really just because they're more comfortable because until last week I could still wear my normal jeans through the day. And I've been wearing normal sweaters to work, but granted I've always liked the longer style so they're still working because of that I'm sure. But I do get really frustrated because some days I still feel like I look so little or not showing at all.

  • I have a pair of mat jeans that I wear on the weekends because my regular jeans are too big! I'm down 24lbs so far. I anticipate that I will start to go up in the next 5 weeks or so (I did last time, anyway).

    I'm still wearing my work pants and shirts, but usually with a sweater over top because the front is a little short.

  • Me. But I have a lot of loose fitting dresses (shift and "doll" dresses) anyway. My jeans that are very low rise still fit me without a Be Band.
    My only maternity clothes so far as a couple of maternity leggings from Target and 1 Liz Lange tee.

    Today I'm wearing this (with tights and knee high boots) and this isn't maternity. I have had this pre-preggo but I tend to like dresses like these anyway. =)

  • ME. HOwever I can wear scrubs to work, so I don't have to worry about getting into any other pants. I have been wearing dresses and low rise jeans. My belly is starting to show though and will be wearing maternity jeans soon. 
  • Im not cometely in maternity, have worn pants a few times but still have others that fit.

  • no maternity clothes yet.  i've been eyeing the clothes that mil got me for christmas and the bag of clothes that sil dropped off.  but the truth is that things still fit and i'll be wearing the maternity clothes for long enough anyway.  so i'm going to hold out for as long as i can.

  • Turtle - where is that dress from? SUPER cute!
  • My maternity jeans are still too big, won't stay up. I get by with my pre-pg jeans using a rubber band. All my shirts are pre-pg too. I have to use the rubber band after I eat, lol.

  • I am, except I am now wearing a cami or band to cover the unbuttoned pants/skirts. my shirts always were longer/flowy - so I've stayed in all regular clothes.

    I'm not carrying high at all, I'm really super low still, but I'm filling out evenly I guess.

  • I'm still in regular clothes.  Haven't bought a stitch of maternity clothes yet.  Everything is starting to get a little tight but I think I've been saying that for weeks.

  • I'm still in all my regular pants and shirts.  My jeans still button and are comfy (most days!) so I'm sticking with them for as long as I can!  While I'm cheaping out on my maternity clothes, I paid a lot of money for my non-maternity jeans so I'm rocking them for as long as I possibly can Big Smile

    Like others have said, the few maternity pants that I bought are still too big for my bump and fall down.  hopefully I'll grow soon!

  • I'm in all my regular pants but have pulled out a few of my maternity shirts just because they are more comfy. Also made me feel like I got a new wardrobe!
  • I'm in all normal clothes although I cant button all my pants. With DS I was wearing my normal clothes right to the end. Like OP said thankfully longshirts have been in for a long while so I was wearing those...and magically my jeans fit me, although they were my "fat" jeans! I don't think I'll be that lucky this time...most of my fat jeans I donated when I was trying to slim down my closet about 6 months ago!

  • jeans and pants are tight but I got a belly band. I have some maternity stuff but I love me some Forever 21 so I have just been buying leggings, jeggings, shirts and tunics that I know will grow with me. Better fitting but not necessarily maternity.

    Thanks! It's from ASOS.com. I'm just not sure if it's still available. Do check out the website if you like styles like these, but they have many others including maternity =)

    This! I'm not big enough for maternity stuff yet, but if I get the urge to buy something, I make sure that it'll grow with me. I never really wore leggings or flowy tops before, so it's fun to try on a new style.

  • i started wearing strictly maternity jeans/pants about two weeks ago (17wk) bc although my jeans still fit - my belly was expanding pretty low and I was uncomfortable when sitting so --- why be uncomfortable :) I have however been using alot of my pre-p tops bc my bump is still pretty small.  I actually have resolved that I am going to continue to buy various forms of the longish open sweaters in NON-maternity that way I can use them post=baby. I just got a steal on several at Express for their big end of season sale!!!

  • The end is near...am down to about three pairs of my regular jeans/pants w/out band, but feeling a little squished.  My husband, bless him, in reading WEWYE each week has determined that I MUST get maternity clothes so I feel better about myself and LO stays healthy.  Nice to have a budget to spend?

  • i'm in all maternity pants (other than my pj pants, which i wore to the end of my last pregnancy), but mostly pre-pregnancy tops.  the one i wore today actually looked better with a little bump than before!

    this.  I can still wear non maternity tops if they are long but I've been wearing maternity pants for months just cause in the 1st tri was so bloated...I can still fit into my old pants with a band but it's just not worth the discomfort.

  • Holy crap, some of you guys must be carrying really high!  I had to give in and buy maternity pants at 15 weeks.  I'm all baby so far and bump is very low, so I couldn't button or zip any of my jeans, even though I'd only gained about 5 lbs at that point. 

    I like wearing a lot of my longer non-maternity sweaters and tops still though. They look cute over my bump.

  • I am not showing...have lost 7 pounds without being sick. Dr is fine with it as the baby is measuring fine - actually 2 weeks ahead. I am still in pre-preg pants.  In fact, I have pulled out a pair of my smaller pair of pants and they fit.  Oh knew I needed to get pregnant to lose weight ;)
