Poll: Maternity clothes

LaurelBee · August 2012

Who is wearing maternity clothes? When did you start? Who's still in normal clothes??

Thankfully I'm still in my normal clothes. Most of my mat clothes are winter, so I'm happy to not have to buy a whole new wardrobe! Plus, I'm still waiting to pop. But I'm so jealous of those with bumps.

I'm still in normal clothes but when I go back to work in a couple weeks I will probably need to break out the maternity clothes.

jjgal · August 2012

I'm in looser fitting regular clothes, but am not ready for maternity yet. I think I'll be wearing maternity in the next couple of weeks, though. I haven't "popped" yet either.

nycitygirl1 · August 2012

I'm still in my normal clothes but the pants/shorts are starting to get really tight. I'm going to wake up one day and just not be able to zip my pants, LOL.

So I've ordered a few maternity things from Old Navy and put them in my closet for when I need them.

I've had to wear maternity pants for the last few weeks. I don't have a belly band, so that's most likely why. But I am starting to get a bit of a bump. I still need t look for pants. Luckily I have some hand me down capris that fit nicely

KingRay09 · August 2012

I wear both regular and maternity clothes. I can't fit in any of my regular pants at this point, but I can still wear some of my dresses and tops.

Yay for HMDs! I forgot that my sister lent me a pair of mat shorts that I wore on vacation when traveling. They were a God send

I have been in maternity clothes since week 11. I just couldn't stand my work pants being across my belly.

sjamin9 · August 2012

Still in regular clothes, but I will be doing my first maternity shopping this weekend when I travel to my hometown and see my mom for the first time since the BFP. Super pumped

jessie1324 · August 2012

I just started to wear maternity clothes last week because it was just getting so uncomfortable in my normal clothes. It's kinda funny because the maternity clothes look so big on me because I haven't popped yet but they are sooooo comfy.

MKE6115 · August 2012

I am wearing a belly band with all of my non maternity pants, but I have to wear maternity shirts to cover the band because they are longer. (I am 6'1 and have a long torso.) luckily I wear scrubs to work so I am good there!

JumpAroundBucky · August 2012

I'm still in all my normal clothes. Waiting for a little bump!!

Chappy_jr · August 2012

I cannot button any of my work pants and now wear them with a belly band but I did buy a couple of maternity shirts that would be long enough to cover the belly band so technically, I am wearing some maternity clothes. I'm hoping this will hold me over for a while.

I have been in strictly maternity clothes or my clothes with a band for the past couple of weeks now. I was getting so uncomfortable in my normal clothes and just looked like I gained weight. Maternity clothes actually help to make it look like I am pregnant since nothing is pushing in my stomach. I am only 5'3" but also have an incredibly short waist, so I am definitely starting to show more.

This happened to me yesterday morning! And boy did a nervous breakdown ensue. I work from home 4 days a week, going into the office on the other day. I have gotten so accustomed to wearing light sun dresses on the weekends and sweatpants at home that I had no idea I was going to wake up with NOTHING to wear yesterday. I obviously would have done laundry if I realized that I could not find a pair of dress pants to fit me to save my life at 6:00 AM. After a good ten minute cry and much digging, I decided to say screw it and went to work in Yoga Pants. No one said anything. I almost dare them to lol. I'll be going shopping for a belly band or some work attire this weekend.

Still 100% regular clothes.

misscarter87 · August 2012

Still in normal clothes but by the end of the month should be in maternity!!

Mom2anAngel2 · August 2012

I have been in maternity clothes since 10 weeks. I was trying to get away with the hair band trick, but it kept popping off or my zipper would fall down. I guess it did not help that I have been measuring about 4 weeks ahead.

Wild_flower25 · August 2012

Maternity pants since 10/11 weeks, mostly because of the bloat and they're just more comfy. Regular shirts although some are too small.

this decaf life · August 2012

I'm still mostly in my regular clothes. I wore a pair of shorts 3 days ago and they were fine... I tried yesterday and they did not work so it won't be long before I'm at least wearing a bella band.

I did buy a new dress yesterday [for an event in 2 weeks] and had to get a size bigger than I usually wear.

karen_loy · August 2012

Normal clothes most of the times, I have a pair of mat shorts and mat pants that already fit, so I wear them ocasionally

mrsodonnell12 · August 2012

I am in my regular clothes but will be slowly transitioning my shirts over.... I dont want to stretch them out! I dont button or zip my pants... I just wear a belly band.... I hope I dont need maternity pants for SEVERAL more months- hate them!

jenn248 · August 2012

Still in normal clothes for the most part at 17 weeks. I mainly wear dresses to work in the summer, so most of those still fit me, although some are definitely getting a little snug across my bump. I also have one pair of regular jeans that were a little big on me that still fit, but I don't think they will for much longer. If I have to wear a suit for work, I need to use the belly band - none of my dress pants fit any more.

amjung2103 · August 2012

I still fit into my normal clothes, and at work I wear scrubs, so no changes there yet either. However, I was lucky enough to have a friend borrow me all of her materinty clothes and I have worn a pair of her pants twice now! They were still loose on me ... but ... they are just so cute I couldn't resist wearing them! haha

I use the bella band over my jeans, and dresses/skirts that are maternity & regular the rest of the time. I bought a pair of maternity pants but they are still a little big.

akating · August 2012

I mix it up. I really can't wear most regular pants/shorts without feeling totally uncomfortable though so I try to just wear maternity pants.

landosmommy · August 2012

I wear maternity jeans, can't fit into my regula ones without being extremely uncomfortable.

I have wore a few mat. tops, but ones that are for early stage of pregnancy so they don't look ridiculous.

lcrun · August 2012

I can still fit into my two pairs of jeans but only using the rubber band trick. The shorts I have been wearing are maternity ones and so much more comfortable. I'd say 50% of my shirts are non-maternity and 50% maternity. I'm 5 feet tall with a short torso, so I am pretty obviously pregnant at 15 weeks.

bearkatjen · August 2012

Still in regular, but some of my pants feel uncomfortable by the end of the day. I'm going to look into a bella band or mat jeans this weekend. Part of my problem might be bloat and constipation though.

zonagirlie · August 2012

I had to switch at 11-12 weeks. I popped early for a FTM. I keep being asked if it's twins and stupid questions about if my due date is closer than end of Jan. I've still only gained 5lbs. I was a size 8 in jeans before and tried my fat day 10s at 11 weeks but just couldn't get them snapped so I tried the hairtie trick until it snapped on me one day at work. My mom took me clothes shopping the next weekend. I've been a comfy, happy camper since!

Smiley-1980 · August 2012

I can only fit into one pair of my regular pants but they are pushing it. I am pretty much in mat. clothes full time. I "popped" around 13 weeks.

hmr22 · August 2012

I wear both regular and maternity clothes; the only maternity items I am wearing right now are dress pant and skirts for work and jeans. All my shirts still fit, but some are getting a little tight, and all regular shorts & capris still fit fine. I popped last week while on vacation (17 weeks)!

saraw82 · August 2012

I've been in maternity work a few weeks. Once I switched to the maternity pants I was TOO COMFY to go back. As for the shirts, my boobs were large to begin with, once they started growing from the pregnancy I wasn't able to fit in a lot of my shirts.

I hate maternity shirts though, I think they make me look bigger then I really am. I find it hard to get dressed :-(

EAMommy · August 2012

Normal clothes with the help of bella bands... Although today the heat and restriction of the bella band was getting to me and I'm now in a pair of work out shorts until I have to leave in an hour! I'm really hoping to be able to hold out until summer's over before buying maternity bottoms... but that may not be possible!
