Who is wearing maternity clothes??

sryanlklassen · July 2012

Just trying to get a feel of who has already graduated to maternity clothes and how far along you are??

nagrojean · July 2012

I wear them most of the time. I have always had a bit of a tummy so I fit in them pretty easily and they are sooo much more comfy. My other pants don't fit without a rubber band, and then the zipper comes down anyway. I am still wearing regular shirts, though as long as they are long enough!

ariellabe · July 2012

I am! I started w/ tops and maternity bras but now I have a definite bump so I'm wearing skirts and dresses now!

SEWF · July 2012

I'm going to start wearing some of my stuff in a few days (I'm off tomorrow and not planning on changing out of my pjs). I got all of my maternity stuff from a friend who is a bit smaller than me, so I have a feeling that I will still have to buy my own clothes at some point.

This. I have a pair of crop pants from Motherhood, and have some work clothes ordered and on the way-I'm a teacher, so I'm in my summer lazies now! My regular pants fit with a hair tie, although its a bit stretched by the end of the day due to my annoying bloat. I'm still in my regular shirts, but I did buy some longer ones to help stretch. They were $8 apiece, I couldn't resist.

i'm all about comfort - no mat clothes just yet but i bought some bigger shirts at a consignment store and some shorts with elastic waist!!! such a mom...

i'll wait until i'm bigger to buy anything and with DS i wasn't pg until later in July and didn't' show until later in the fall and winter - i hate buying summer mat clothes! they'l be so useless in a couple months

==N== · July 2012

Sometimes. I either wear maternity pants or flowy elastic waist skirts. I wear some maternity shirts just because theyre longer and cover the giant elastic maternity waistband, they still look a little weird with all the extra room in them.

Starfish+77 · July 2012

Nothing yet! This is my first. Need to buy some still

EmmyLou423 · July 2012

I've been in maternity clothes for a little while. None of my regular pants will zip and my belly bands aren't quite doing the trick anymore. I've also started wearing maternity shirts recently since none of my regular shirts seem long enough. Luckily I'm on summer break right now so some days I just make due wearing my comfy pants since I don't have a very big maternity wardrobe yet.

letitbe3 · July 2012

I have come to the realization that I will have to soon go this route. I cannot wear a single pair of my pants with out a belly band or the rubberband trick. I just got a maxi skirt from Target the other week and I want to LIVE in it...fold over waistband, and so so comfortable. Glad they're in style right now!!

brianabrad · July 2012

FTM here and I was doing pretty well till this week. I broke out the bella band for work yesterday and today and its working pretty well. I'm still getting used to it though. I think I probably would have been okay with out it till late in the week if we hadn't had such a fast food heavy weekend! We are moving and basically ate out every meal Friday night to Sunday night. I'm sick of fast food and ready for this move to be over. Probably more fast food tomorrow too with movers being here.

I would say when I return to work next week I'll continue the bella band but I'm going to have my maternity pants washed and ready.

chance_encounters · July 2012

me!!! for the last two weeks. this is my third child though!

ILoveRedVino · July 2012

My regular jeans still fit, but I feel sooo fat in them. In the past week or so, I have switched to maternity khakis and they make me feel a ton better. Soon I will start with the maternity jeans.

My work pants still fit just fine, though I can tell that they're getting a bit tighter. I think I still have a few weeks in them.

MrsRiceARoni · July 2012

I have one pair of maternity shorts that I've been wearing quite a bit for weeks, and I had to put an extender in my bra about a month ago but that's all of the maternity clothes so far. I've been wearing my maxi dresses a lot and I wear a lot of skirts so that's been giving me a bit more room. I've been slowly pulling things out of my closet that are too tight, and shirts that are getting too short. Once my closet starts to be too limited I'll start rotating more of my maternity clothes in. It helps that I don't work so most days I can just bum around in whatever.

BLPL101 · July 2012

Not yet. I bought a belly band yesterday. I am loving it.

carteramariec · July 2012

Me! But I just started to...I couldn't stand my pants not staying up properly with the rubber band trick and I couldn't really get the b-bands to stay in place. Besides, I am taking full advantage of the ability to wear elastic waists without questions. LOL.

jenn248 · July 2012

Not yet, since I pretty much live in dresses all summer. However, I have a 10 hour flight on Saturday, so I am thinking it may be time to break out the maternity pants then.

MrsLean · July 2012

Not yet, but my pants are getting tight! I'm a nurse, so I get to wear stretchy, comfy scrubs to work & probably can keep wearing the same ones for another month at least. I think I'll be buying some maternity clothes in the next few weeks...I feel like I've gotten bigger in the last 3 days!

LiLsWeEtPeA0826 · July 2012

Me! Second time being pregnant and fibroids have given me an early bump. I have recently started wearing maternity shirts because I kept pulling down my regular shirts.

kaitlin&kurth · July 2012

I am in pants because they are so much comfy than my regular pants, but I'm still wearing my regular tops.

mollywobbles13 · July 2012

Mostly maternity clothes, but some of my regular clothes fit too. I didn't have much time between this pregnancy and my last so I wasn't out of the maternity clothes for long. Embarrassed

this decaf life · July 2012

I'm not yet.

hellojenny531 · July 2012

Wearing a belly band right now.

GinghamGrenade · July 2012

I am not wearing maternity shirts that much, but I have been wearing maternity pants for a few weeks now. Not so much because I *need* to, but because it's more comfortable. Goodbyeeeeee zippers and buttons.

Justtee33 · July 2012

My regular jeans were tight weeks ago. So I just bought 2 pairs of bigger, stretchy, cheap jeans which are wonderfully comfortable albeit a little big. I'm still wearing the same shirts. Also, I've been wearing lots of my regular dresses since it's been so hot. I'm hoping to wait to buy maternity clothes until Fall/Winter clothes come out, since this is a winter baby.

JJsMum · July 2012

Me! I've been wearing them full time since about 7/8 weeks. I'm also a STM, so my regular jeans got really uncomfortable way faster this time!

kygirlie113 · July 2012

I am. I have been for awhile now, but I am a STM.

Smiley-1980 · July 2012

I just got some maternity clothes today. I can still for a few of my larger pants but I hate how they feel on my stomach

catherinerachel · July 2012

I'm a FTM, and I am somewhat. I'm mainly in my pre-pregnancy clothes with a hair band and my high-waisted, looser shirts.

sammich078 · July 2012

I'm not exclusively in maternity clothes, but I'll wear them often. They're just more comfortable than trying to squeeze into my regular pants, and the Be Band is not my favorite thing in the world.

Shirts I am okay with regular for now except that I've had to retire some of my favorite tanks/tube tops because of overflowing breasts.

brittandjp · July 2012

While I've been stocking up on maternity clothes, I have yet to wear any of them. However, I did break out the belly band today to wear my jean shorts.

Torpedogirl · July 2012

I'm wearing mat shorts everyday since week 8. This is my third pregnancy and I have a bump large enough so the band is irritating to me and cannot zip up regular pants without hurting my belly. Love them they are so comfy. Wearing regular shirts and I have a couple mat tanks that are snug and look really cute.

akating · July 2012

I am in maternity and stretchy pants and regular shirts. I just started showing a few days ago.

amh04 · July 2012

I bought 1 pair of maternity pants - but I'm not wearing them yet, they don't fit. So for now - its a combo of my bellaband and a hair tie.

TaylersMommy · July 2012

Have been wearing the Bella Band for 3 weeks now (STM currently almost 15 weeks). What has been bothering me most though are my bras, so I went ahead and bought a few a cup size bigger yesturday and am loooving them! Have yet to buy any "real" mat clothes. Just bought a cute maxi skirt with a thick stretchy waist at Urban Outfitters today ... So cute!

bearkatjen · July 2012

Not yet. I never wore them with DS, but I may have to get something this time around. My slacks and jeans are feeling tight. It's fine if I'm standing and walking around, but if I'm sitting a long time it's uncomfortable. I have a private office at work, so I've been unbuttoning them during the day for some relief.

HeyTeacher · July 2012

Not yet, but I probably need to start. My tummy has gotten significantly bigger than it was in May. I wear mostly dresses in the summer, but the few times i've wanted to wear pants they are kind of tight.

Chappy_jr · July 2012

I'm not in maternity stuff, yet. Haven't even looked as I'm hoping to be able to hold off until Fall clothes are in stores. All of my regular clothes still fit with the exception of some button-up shirts. I have noticed a small bump forming lately so my pants may soon be in need of some help but fortunately I can live in dresses in the summer.

StarrSquared · July 2012

as i had just lost a bunch of weight before i got pregnant i'm just wearing some of my old pants haha. and some days i just wear my husbands cloths. nothing new, and since im a SAHM no need for me to go buy new cloths i have maternity cloths from DD still.

qteepie42899 · July 2012

Not all the time...but starting to dwindle the pile of "still fits" pants. I wore my "fat jeans" tonight and by the time I got home I was dying to get them off! So, now that the news is out for the world to know....I will probably change over to maternity clothes full time. I love how comfy they are! Oh and I am a 3rd time mom here....so much sooner than the previous pregnancies.

Todd&Laura · July 2012

About 50/50. Luckily it is now summer break and I am not at work. If I was teaching every day, it would be a different story!! Lol For now, it is athletic shorts, tanks, tees, dresses, etc and my trusty maternity jeans.
