Been pregnant before? Q about weight gain...

How far into pregnancy until your pants no longer fit?

Also, how far into pregnancy when your bra no longer fit?

You would probably get more responses if you asked this on 1st or 2nd tri. Most of us here haven't been pregnant.

everyone is different.

bloat causes me to have tighter pants around 7-8 weeks... however, no weight gain at that point. Just bloat.

I needed bigger bras after baby once my milk came in.

How far into pregnancy until your pants no longer fit? I lost weight in my 1st tri from morning sickness so I'd say around 18 - 20 weeks or so. You can get a bella band though and be able to wear regular pants longer.

Also, how far into pregnancy when your bra no longer fit? Never had this problem. I was not blessed in this area. lol

My pants stopped fitting fairly soon into it. I have heard from people that you get bigger with boys than with girls. There are a few girls at work that know the sex of their baby and it seems to hold true.

My bra lasted a little longer than my pants but once they put me on bed rest and I started packing on the pounds along with weight I outgrew them quickly!

With DD I gained A LOT of weight, I had to get bigger pants pretty soon into the pregnancy. Now I didn't noticed a difference with my bras though until the milk came in after delivery.

With my first about 4-5 months until my pants for tight. With my second 7-8 weeks and they were tight.

I went up one cup size during pregnancy with both, but I can't remember when. After my milk came in I went up another 2 cup sizes on top of that. So 3 cups sizes bigger total.

I am still in my regular pants at week 13 almost 14 and I got a bigger bra around week 7 but my giant boobs got even more giant and i broke my regular bra around that time so i went up haha.

pants no longer fit around 19/20 weeks

Bra always fit Sad (i was hoping I would finally get some BBs)

I gave up and switched to maternity pants around 15-16 weeks PG, but was wearing looser pants, a belly band or a rubber band to hold my pants together a few weeks before that.

Didn't buy a new bra until maybe 3rd tri, went up a cup size and gained an inch or so.

I carried DD really low the entire time so I couldn't wear my normal jeans for very long. I was hoping I could pull off the muffin top for a while but nope, couldn't even think about it. By 8 weeks, I was wearing the belly band and by 13/14 I was in full maternity pants. I wore regular tops until 20 + weeks.

The first time I had to buy bras was around 4 months. My girls grew and grew fast for some reason. They were massive early on.

With DD I was able to fit into regular clothes until about 16 weeks. I had to go up a cup size at 8 weeks.

sgb721 · November 2010

I had to buy a new bra at 6 weeks as my ladies filled in quick (36C ->D) My pants were getting snug due to bloat- not weight gain at 8 weeks and I was just starting the bella band. I miscarried the following week so I can't help past there. Sorry!

For me I was in maternity pants by about 15 weeks... I started to show super early and had a boy... he was super low from the get go and I couldn't breath with my normal jeans on... but I will say this, I could wear my work pants longer than jeans.

Also, how far into pregnancy when your bra no longer fit?

About the third trimester for me. I was a 34B and ended up a 36D so I just bought some nursing bras while PG... they were a bit big before my milk came in, but they worked and were super comfy for that last few months were I had to wear a bra at night.

I lost about 8 pounds before I ever gained anything, but I was in maternity at 8 weeks. I carried low my whole pregnancy and anything remotely tight across the lower part of my belly bothered me a lot.

I went up probably a whole cup size and my bras were too tight at around 26 weeks.

Jenn478 · November 2010

Pants fitting comfortably probably like 10 weeks or so, new bras and panties came middle of 2nd tri?

I gained 40 pounds and my DH 10.

BluBerryMuffin · November 2010

Pants-about 20 weeks; bra-immediately after my BFP I went from a B to a D literally overnight, and they kept growing. I was a DD by the time I delivered, and stayed a DD until I weaned DS, then I went back to a B, a floppy, saggy B. But they perked up a bit after I started working out and gaining back some weight ( I gained 50 lbs when I was pg, and lost 70 in less than a year-I had to gain weight to get my period to start again!)

I went from a size 0/2 to a 2/4 in the first 8 weeks. Didn't know I was pregnant so I just bought bigger regular pants. I wore a size 2 until 26 weeks and stayed in a 4 until I gave birth. I didn't need new bras until after I gave birth. I recommend not buying maternity clothes if you've never been pregnant before bc the sizes don't always carry over. You could gain more weight than expected, or less, and be stuck with stuff that doesn't fit. ETA I was a 32DD before getting pregnant and only gained 18lbs.
