so my issue with clothes is....

kellbranc · January 2011

Ug I am so struggling right now....

I am able to fit into most of my pants with the Bella Band. One or two of my pre-preg tight pants are a bit too snug in the hips. However, Im SO SICK of wearing cardigans and big sweaters. The issue is w/ most of my shirts they are kind of fitted long sleeved shirts/sweaters and I dont look pregnant yet.....just kind of lumpy, "thick" and fat vs. pregnant. I'm "out" at work and to everyone..they know I'm pregnant but I just feel not attractive in clothes

I am 13 weeks 3 days....but I dont feel ready to go to maternity clothes yet... feel like its too soon

There are so many maternity shirts that don't look maternity. You could use them all the way through getting your bump. Also, don't be afraid to stock up on a few shirts in a larger size and see if that helps. I don't know if your job makes you dress business casual but know NY&Co generally has some good sales you can get a few shirts without spending a wad.

I feel you on this. I didn't get a bella band, but my pants still fit....I've just had to let my belt out to the last hole

I tried on some maternity pants that my sister gave me the other day, and they're sooooo comfy, but I feel like I'm swimming in them right now. Luckily, where I work I get to wear sweatshirts and jeans every day, but I hate hate hate dressing to go out to eat or anywhere really. I just feel 'fat', and not prego.

I'm out to everyone too, but I got mad Sunday because we were going to my parents house to watch the football games and I had nothing to wear. It still fits....I just think it makes me look fat. So I broke down yesterday, and bought some tops from Old Navy. We'll see how I feel in them.

I bought a few shirts and pants on clearence in a larger size since I'm not ready for maternity yet and it has made me feel better about how I look in clothes.

I just bought my first pair of maternity jeans yesterday. The funny thing is, they look so much better on me than my regular jeans

I've been having the same problem. I went shopping a couple weeks back and bought some bigger shirts to prepare. A lot of normal clothes, if the right style, can be worn clear up until the end! I had a lot of shirts that weren't maternity tops that I wore during my whole pregnancy last time. Sometimes they actually look better.

I know me too, lol! Got mine from the gap and DH was like, wow they look good. Who knew??

I would buy some cute empire shirts instead. Not HUGE ones, but some that are stylish and cute. I would go to Kohl's. They have a lot. Buy the non-maternity tops.

I'm in the same boat. Yesterday I was so irritated while getting dressed that I said screw it and wore a cute tank top with a fitted cardigan. While it was somewhat obvious that I either over indulged in cookies or just might be pregnant, I really didn't care anymore.

I took my best friend and her reaction was "they actually fit your butt!"
