My fat pants are too tight.

rattlecanqueen · August 2013

Ugh! I'm only 5 wk 2 days and my fat pants (which used to fit a little loosely) are now creating a distinct food baby muffin top above the waistband, and baby bloat pooch below the waistband. My butt even fills them out and I have no butt whatsoever/completely flat when I'm not KU! Looks like I'll be shopping for a few pairs of mat. pants sooner rather than later. Anyone care to commiserate?

I've also been online window shopping for fall/winter mat. tops and found a few worth drooling over and are decently priced. Hopefully I can find comparable pieces in the real world.

Agreed! Can't fit into my jeans anymore. What sucks is I just lost a lot of weight and gave away all my larger clothes so now NOTHING fits

was pursuing maternity clothes online earlier today too. Is that sad? That we're not even six weeks and looking for maternity clothes?

rattlecanqueen · August 2013

Lol...I'm rationalizing as, clearance stuff now=great layering pieces for fall/winter/spring especially when you want to die of heat exhaustion bc the heaters are running. But seriously though, it's a lil' ridiculous and frustrating. I was almost 200 lbs when I delivered DS, which is ginormous on my 5'2" frame, and not looking for a repeat performance.

I found a couple of cute things on clearance at Kohls and Target.

I'm with you ladies though, can't wear my regular pants without being uncomfortable. Jersey dresses are my go to now!

MrsWiseone · August 2013

Target had a bunch on clearance. I will be living in yoga pants throughout pregnancy. One of the perks of being a physical education teacher. Bad part is going to be looking like a slug when I'm not at school cause i don't want to buy a ton of maternity clothes.

Anyone got any good linkys for mat clothes beyond old navy?

H & M has cute stuff and you can shop online now!

I agree with everyone, today was the first day I felt like my pants were tight. I lost 30 lbs this year and my loose fat pants were tight today. Now I'm totally bummed, I thought I'd be able to wear those for a while

I bought a belly band two days ago at motherhood maternity. So much more comfortable!

MapleLeafMama · August 2013

It's all about the comfort for me this time around. maternity Style went out the window after #1.

teachingmama11 · August 2013

Mine are fitting, but barely...they are definitely getting tight & uncomfortable. My regular pants are long gone. I'm pulling out my maternity pants from my last pregnancy. It does seem really early to do that, but they are comfortable! My issue now is finding enough tops that will camouflage my bloat so my coworkers don't all catch on when we start back to school next week.

danamarie421 · August 2013

I'm just planning on living in maxi dresses for now.... I haven't looked at maternity clothes just yet... I'm waiting until it's too cold to wear my dresses!

LittleLady77 · August 2013

I use a hair tie looped from the button hole and the top button on my pants. I cover that hot mess with a big belt. I'm hoping to stay in my cute pants for a few more weeks. I'm way more into being comfortable than cute for sure, but I don't want to let myself look as bad as I feel either!

pineconey · August 2013

I bloated right away with my first pregnancy and didnt lose ALL of the weight (I was 11 weeks and the mc was in June). My feet feel "tight" in the evenings already, but clothes are still normal. I'm chubby anyway so I appreciate every day that I DON'T gain

sdo_082989 · August 2013

I am sooo bloated too! I feel disgusting. My hair and skin is super oily so I just feel like a huge oily blob. I wore my regular jeans buttoned and zipped while I was pregnant with DD until I was 7 months. This is a new adjustment for me, I actually wore maternity pants when DH and I went out to eat last week. I was so embarrassed.

I bought all of my bottoms from Motherhood, I really like the cargo pants because I can roll them up for capris as well. I am a t-shirt and jean kinda girl so I just wore men's t-shirts for 99% of my pregnancy with DD.

Mrs550 · August 2013

I am right there with you guys. I blame it on the fact that there are 3 babies growing in me haha. I have to dress up for work everyday and these pants have been a lifesaver. They do run a little small tho. I am 115lbs and I got a medium. I will probably need a large by next week at the rate I'm going.

This says that they zip but they really don't. They have an elastic band around the waist. I also bought gaucho pants and they are so comfy!

Maternity clothes solve the problem

I already use them

GeorgiaWife12 · August 2013

Try Pink Blush Maternity. It's an online store that's decently priced! I've been window shopping and they have some super cute stuff!

justright47 · August 2013

I live in workout clothes so I'll just be trying to minimize my prebelly with looser tops till it really starts to pop.

So cute! Thanks for the suggestion! I am sneaky. I have a secret pinboard for baby #3 so I can go back in about 6 weeks and order some things

bootsiebabe · August 2013

I'm still in my jeans (for now), but that cite has some super cute stuff at pretty reasonable prices. Thanks for the recommendation!

don't even ask me why i realized this, but......

why did the OP get flagged for spam for her post??? wha-huhhhh????

My guess would be it was an accident. When I'm on anything with a touch screen I'm always super afraid I'll be flagging/liking random stuff and not realize it.

Jenbry424 · August 2013

I haven't even tried on any real pants this week. When I haven't been working (I'm a nurse, so luckily I can wear comfy scrubs) I have been living in yoga capris. I am afraid to even try on actual pant with a zipper. I gained almost 50 pounds with my son and I'm determined to not do that again, but when hunger strikes, I can't help it!

MrsCrouch90 · August 2013

Well at 6w 3d my yoga pants seem to be the only thing that doesn't squeeze my belly and make that god awful uncomfortable feeling.

Tried wearing my favorite shorts yesterday to a family dinner and I couldn't get them even close to closing. Good to know I'm not the only one already having this problem. Guess maternity clothes and yoga pants it is.

Anyone know of anywhere to get good maternity black dress/work pants? I work in a corporate office building and my pants are not fitting any more.
