When did you grow out of your pants?

brearene · October 2008

I haven't even had my ultrasound yet - so I'm not sure how far along I am, but I assumed 6-7 weeks. I can't believe that over the weekend I feel like I gained two inches.

I have been a militant, healthy eater for the last three weeks since discovering that I was preggers. So I'm not worried about it being just extra pounds.

Could I be putting baby weight already? What week did you realize you were getting BIGGER!?!

welcome to the world of bloat! it's tons of fun! a few weeks ago, my tighter fitting jeans were not comfortable any more and couldn't button them. i got a belly band and have come to the conclusion that once bloat is gone, a baby belly will take it's place. congrats on being pregnant!

i'm 7 weeks.... still in my regualr clothes....they are a little bit tight though

seattlestef · October 2008

I made the mistake of washing my jeans this weekend, making them even tighter. I'm definitely suffering from bloat right now.

RichInLove · October 2008

Yeah, your hormones from the pregnancy are changing your digestion and causing bloat. It's super fun, huh?

I am 11 weeks today and still fitting in my pants fine. The jeans I am wearing today are a tad tight, but still fitting okay.

pixy_stix · October 2008

I can't fit into my tight jeans now. Although, to be honest, they really didn't fit before.

KTGush · October 2008

With my daughter I was fine through out the first trimester. Didn't need anything maternity. I was even able to wear some regular pants until about 7 months, below my belly of course. I didnt get extremely big. This time I'm going more for comfort than the world record to see how long I can stay in my pre pregnancy jeans.

So far, not a lot of bloat. I've already ordered some cute maternity jeans for when I start hitting that mark.

With my son and also with this one I gained like 10 pounds and bloated up right off the bat! No idea why, I wasn't eating more food or anything...but my pants are tight already as well b/c it's like my hips expanded...that's how I knew I was PG this time even before testing since it was the same feeling with my son...everyone is different! Just invest in some comfy pants

IU_baby · October 2008

I'm still fitting in most of my pants, with the exception of a few pairs of jeans. Now, my bras are a completely different story...I need to get fitted for new one soon!

EASwimmer · October 2008

I wore my pre-pg pants until I was 21wks! It was awesome.

idoinjuly · October 2008

My bloat comes and goes. My pants are extremely tight today, which compelled me to buy a Be Band. This happened last week. One day my pants were super tight, then the next couple of days the bloat went down.

love22 · October 2008

My pants pretty much don't fit anymore. They are okayish in the morning but as the day goes on my bloat gets worse and I have to have them completely undone.

shertom · October 2008

Each week less and less fit. I'm down to two pairs of pants that I can wear to work!

DNK777 · October 2008

My pants were tighter than normal beginning around 8 weeks, but I didn't need maternity pants until 13 weeks.

runnergirl79 · October 2008

I had one pair of jeans that fit until around 23 weeks. They were on the tight side, but they still fit. Wink

luckyangel · October 2008

Im about 8 weeks and still in my normal clothes. My pants are fine but I have noticed some of my tight cami-tanks getting a bit tighter. The only bloat I'm really noticing is my face, which is usually the 1st thing to puff up a little on me when I get my period too so thats no surprise.

I swore no maternity clothes-hippy skirts and yoga pants only but I bought a super cute maternity tank yesterday-very greek goddess looking! I'm getting so excited! Cant wait to start showing!

MaybeaGIRL??? · October 2008

I can "fit" into most of my jeans still (with the button undone) but feel much better in a size up. I have gained 2# already

, with my last pregnancy I did not gain 2# until I was around 23-25 wks...I was also 20# heaver than I am now, though. I started this pregnancy 2# lighter than I did with my first...I guess I made up for those 2 fast! I show really fast (I think because of my combination of terrible stretch marks and bad separated ab muscles...it really leaves no support for my growing uterus). I had a full baby bump by 9 weeks last time around, not sure what is going to happen this go round. I feel like I have a slight bump now, and my bloating has gotten much better already but still slightly there??? I guess time will tell...

smizmar · October 2008

It varies by day. I'm almost 12 weeks and I swear I'm bigger today than I was over the weekend. And ditto the pp that said her pants fit in the morning, but they're way tight at the end of the day. I got a couple bands at Motherhood and they've been life-savers.

tlynnus · October 2008

I'm still in regular pants. Probably will only last a 1-2 wks at this rate though.

2bejunebride06 · October 2008

I can still wear all my regular clothes, but I like wearing maternity pants and skirts because it gives me a little more room in case I get bloated at the end of the day. My clothes were a little tight until about 10/11 weeks, but then the constant bloat kinda disappeared and my m/s got worse so I lost weight.

HappyHeartUSA · October 2008

BLOAT- I fit into my pre pregnancy pants fine till about 15 weeks, then I had to either loop them with a band or maternity pants...

gremaud07 · October 2008

I can't stand anything semi tight or tight since I tend to get super queasy.

There fore I was in maternity pants at 6-7 weeks, they were big so I wore a belly band to help keep them up.

Neelie27 · October 2008

im a little over 8 wks and my jeans are def getting tight. that could also be because the only thing that i can stomach is pizza and anything carb related....

ABCWedding · October 2008

I don't remember when I started noticing the bloat and pooch. ?But I started feeling uncomfortable in my work pants around 9wks and was walking around with unbuttoned pants hidden by long tops. ? I finally gave in and bought my first maternity pants at 11wks.

Ha! That is how I feel!!

amberwc · October 2008

I started wearing maternity pants about a week ago. I decided I would rather be comfortable then stubborn.

thenewmrsrussell · October 2008

I'm just barely starting to grow out of mine now (work pants, they're not so low on the waist). I am pretty sure its just bloat though.

pinkbride07 · October 2008

I don't fit into a few pairs of jeans as of recently. My hips have changed and my bloat make it harder for me to where the style. I bought a pair of maternity pants the other day and wore them Friday. They were WONDERFUL. I have the bella band but I move around so much in my job that it didn't really stay in place when I was 6 weeks and not now at almost 11. I don't find it comfortable. The maternity pants I have do have a string to make them smaller and larger as I grow so hopefully they will continue to be fairly comfortable.

Mamawannabe · October 2008

My pants have been extremely tight around the waist since about eight weeks...and I've lost weight! My hips have shrunken, but I've been wearing some hand-me-down maternity pants because my pants are so uncomfortable around the waist. The best trick I have found is to wrap a rubber band around the pants button and loop it through the button hole to give some extra room.
