When did you switch to maternity pants this time?

I have not gained a pound yet and I'm starting 10 pounds lighter than I did with A but man alive is my belly getting big! I'm fine in the morning but my pants get so tight in the afternoon. At lunch today I gave in and dug out a pair of maternity pants to wear at work this afternoon. Holy cow I forgot how comfortable these things are!

I moved to maternity pants at 10 weeks with A. Looks like it's 9 weeks with this one. Yikes!

(also, I couldn't find my beband in my quick search at lunch ...)

Moosey, go get a pair with the secret fit panel from Motherhood. They're cute and so comfy and I got some for $30. Totally worth it, I swear. It'll be a long 1-2 months and you deserve it!

Sols, I started in maternity clothes when I was prob 8 weeks? Don't feel bad! It's just soo nice and once you put them on, you'll never want to go back. I'm running out of options already, bc my last two pregnancies were on the other side of the calendar I hope to get some gift cards for my bday next month to get some clothes to get me through the winter.

Good luck!

Try going to the store. I have petite jeans and I don't even see the style I bought on their website and I just bought them a couple weeks ago. They weren't flare, but they must have more in the store than what they have online? I'd give it a shot unless you don't have a location near you.

Can you please tell me why they have have umpteen options for flare jeans in normal size, but you click on the word Petie and nothing?! C'mon people. Pregnant people want to wear the same kinds of jeans they wear when they aren't pregnant. And short people who wear flare jeans when they aren't pregnat will STILL want to wear flare jeans when they are huge. Grr.

Sorry. I'm hormonal today.

Yeah, my one pair of maternity jeans are high waters on me because I have long legs. But I don't really want to pay an arm and a leg for "talls" from the Gap.

Also, I hate the belly band. Maybe because I have the cheaper Target version? It was very uncomfortable for me, painful.

I haven't yet but I will sooner this time than I did with Wyatt.

This time around it seems like I had to wear maternity pants very early on. However with D, it was a summer pregnancy so I lived in sundresses. I bought very few actual maternity clothes. This time will be a winter pregnancy so I already need more pants & clothes. I really don't want to spend the $ on a maternity coat but I may have to.

I am still in regular pants -- but am starting out smaller than I did with DS. I can't remember when I switched to maternity with him... I think it was past 20 weeks. But I remembered questioning why I hadn't made the switch sooner because they were so comfy!

I should try on my maternity pants at home... to see if they are more comfy. By the middle of the day, I'm so bloated I go from looking un-pregnant to 6 months within the course of a few hours... and it's getting hard to hide!

I started wearing some maternity jeans last week. I have a non-mat pair of jeggings and some regular leggings, sweatpants and yoga pants that I can still wear, but I just couldn't try to squeeze into the jeans anymore.

Moosey, last time I got a pair of maternity jeans at Target that aren't petite, but fit my short legs pretty well. They're the Liz Lange brand.

I still haven't been wearing maternity pants, but my situation is a little different. A) most of my maternity stuff is business casual since I was working when I was pg with L, and now I'm home. I could certainly still wear the clothes, but it feels silly to get that dressed up to stay home. we moved and the movers packed them before realized I hadn't pulled them aside to the don't pack pile. Then we lived in a rental for 2 months and I didn't find them there, now they are sitting in one of the boxes in our room waiting for me to unpack them.

I mostly wear yoga or some other elastic waist pants, otherwise I use the belly band, which I am not fond of, so I avoid it if I can.

10 weeks, which is two weeks sooner than I did with A.

I wear yoga pants most days

But I have worn my maternity jeans a few times--regular jeans are so uncomfortable. It's weird, but my belly is sensitive or something and doesn't like restriction. My jeans fit, but they are uncomfortable.

By the end of the day, my work pants are so uncomfortable. I let a friend borrow my be band and I asked for it back today. I've been leaving my pants unbuttoned under my belt. I' all be in maternity clothes as soon as I get them back from my best friend, so much earlier than with DD.

I believe I was somewhere in the vicinity of 16-18 weeks with DS before switching to maternity pants and I think it's still too early for me to even consider it. My regular pants are still a little baggy on me.
