Awkward PG or just fat stage = time for maternity clothes

Mrs.Greg

This is my second pregnancy so I feel like I can break out my maternity wear soon.  Um, like today?    I hate this stage where I just look like I've just gained weight!  I put on a pair of maternity jeans and a empire waisted shirt and it definitely shows off my bump.  I'm only just past 14 weeks but I'm ready!

i was in maternity pants almost right away with the twins- between being my 2nd pg and being twins and HORRIBLE bloat - none of my regular pants fit and i wasn't going to waste money buying new "fat" pants... so i just wore maternity pants with regular tops.

i think it was 15w when i started wearing maternity tops b/c I, like you, wanted to look pg and not just fat.

go for it!

I was in maternity pants even earlier!  Enjoy being comfy!

I was definitely in maternity pants at that point.  I did not know I was carrying twins until 18 weeks, so I just assumed I was showing that much because it was my second pregnancy.  Break out the maternity clothes and get comfy!

I wore maternity pants at 8 weeks! Definitely 2nd preg + twins makes a huge difference. And since I already had the pants it was hard not to wear them! I just wore regular shirts. Just breaking out the maternity shirts now.

Go for it!!

I was in them at 12 weeks, and it was my first pregnancy. I think you are totally normal :-)

I started getting awful stomach aches if my pants were buttoned 2 weeks ago, I have been wearing a belly band with my jeans unbuttoned for almost 2 whole weeks. This is my third pregnancy and i swear I am showing already!
