Anyone else still in their regular clothes?

journeygirl3 · April 2015

15w2d here and still in my normal, everyday clothes. (though I have a hair tie around the button of my jeans) Has anyone else still not made the leap to maternity clothes?

Rikki_5 · April 2015

no, not me unfortunately i started retaining water quite early now even my old regular fat pants dont fit me !! you are lucky!

rue:D · April 2015

I'm mostly still wearing my regular work pants (although I sized up before I knew I was pregnant anyway), and regular shirts. Had to buy maternity jeans though, and I'm almost to the point of having to buy maternity pants for work. I'm 13w5d.

I'm almost 13 weeks but I am still in my regular clothes. I have a couple of pairs of maternity pants for work so that when the time comes, I am ready.

aah1013 · April 2015

I was in my regular clothes until about 20 weeks with my first time. Unfortunately, this time they were necessary around 9 weeks! Oye!

eat111315 · April 2015

Still buttoning my regular pants but in some maternity shirts. It's more because we haven't told anyone yet and they're more concealing.
I also learned the hard way last go around to not squeeze into your favorite shirts. They stretch to your belly and never go back to normal

nperezwhite · April 2015

I lost about 30 pounds before getting pregnant, so my clothes were pretty big on me, I'm now just starting to fill them in again- I'm 15w5d

mmcknight · April 2015

I'm still wearing most of my regular clothes. I do however wear some maternity if I feel extra bloated.

rhiannonbaca · April 2015

I'm wearing all my regular clothes but definitely need a hair tie or bella band cause there isn't any way my pants are buttoning! I'm 15 weeks today

msmowgley · April 2015

I'm 15 weeks today and still wearing all my regular clothes. Some of my pants are starting to feel tight later in the day when my bloat kicks in though.

Krysta6 · April 2015

Using the hair tie on my jeans! I did go and buy some shorts with elastic waist bands and I ordered some old navy maternity shorts. I'm starting to realize it's only a matter of time at this point!

jamielynne1533 · April 2015

15+4 and still in my regular clothes. With my first, I stayed in my regular clothes until about 7 or 8 months. Then I blew up like a balloon. Lol so fingers crossed, I stay in my regular clothes long this time too.

lucky10liz · April 2015

Wow! I started putting on maternity clothes about 4 wks ago! I'm 13 wks and was so bloated that my work pants & jeans were so uncomfortable. So I am loving the maternity pants! They are SOOO comfortable! <:-P

casserole27 · April 2015

13w2d - I'm in my regular clothes.
Actually might even have to go down a pant size soon cuz my clothes are staring to get too loose.
I've lost around 12 lbs since being pregnant. :S

Mine got a little lose as well! I lost 10lbs at the beginning. But I am not brave enough to buy a size down. Seeing how I will get bigger! Lol

casserole27 · April 2015

Oh yeah definitely wouldn't buy new smaller clothes @jamielynne1533 ! I fortunately have some smaller sizes in my closet still, or maybe I'll stick myself in dresses until I start to gain. I gotta do something or everyone will be seeing my pregger-booty when my pants fall off! lol

on_the_move · April 2015

15w1d and I'm still almost always in regular clothes. I lost some weight right before I got pregnant and then had a hard time eating during the first trimester so most of my clothes still fit, but occasionally in the evening I need to unbutton my pants.

dchiapella · April 2015

I haven't made the jump yet, either, although I did do a little shopping for clothes I can wear during and post pregnancy like maxi dresses and long skirts. I think I'll be giving in and buying some maternity t-shirts and tank tops here pretty soon though since all my current shirts are just a touch short for comfort.

alinic916 · April 2015

16 weeks, Gained 10 lbs, still in reg clothes. Can't wear my tight tops or and fitted pants but sticking to flowy tops and some tanks, maxi skirts and cotton shorts. Will need new clothes soon!

StacieGle · April 2015

13wks and thanks to the Bellaband and a hair tie I'm still in my regular jeans/shorts for now and most of my tops are still okay. I have a ton of stretchy dresses/skirts though I plan to wear through summer. I will by shorts when I absolutely have to but hoping to be able to skip buying new jeans or pants.

GeorgiaaMayy · April 2015

I'm gonna avoid maternity clothes I think. I'm 16 weeks and I've been wearing legging type clothes and skirts with a stretchy fabric. My shirts are fine as I don't wear skin tight shirts anyways. But i do have to do the hear tie around the button for my work pants

amberrmariee20 · April 2015

Even though I have a bump now, most of my old clothes still fit, although bras are a bit tight now haha !
14.4 weeks today, 14 weeks when the pic was taken !

mum2elle · April 2015

I started wearing maternity jeans at about 8 weeks as I ripped a hole in my regular work jeans and knew I would be in maternity jeans before long (at 12 weeks with my first) however for tops I'm wearing a mix

millette2015 · April 2015

14.5 weeks and the belly band has been what has kept me in my regular pants! Or at least kept me comfortable.

edavis926 · April 2015

I'm still in all of mine but my pants have been leaving marks for a little bit now. Just to the point where I'm aware but not actually causing any discomfort yet. I've phased out most of my more fitted shirts just because my bloat came and went inconsistently and was bothering me. I'm around 14 1/2 weeks now and made a comment to my fiance this morning when I was laying on my back that I think I've finally actually popped out a little!

Only 12 weeks but im still in regular clothes

15 weeks 5 days and I'm totally the same way! I did buy new yoga pants but I kind of live in them at home.

VioletandRose · April 2015

I'm still in mine at 15 weeks, but can feel them getting tighter by the day. It's just a matter of time. I think a lot of my regular elastic waist skirts and summer dresses should get me by for a little while longer, but I do need to get some maternity stuff soon, especially for work.

Anyone interested, Old Navy is having 40% off today and tomorrow!

smlowe9311 · April 2015

I'm 16w 1d and I've been living in long skirts for work (I teach 2nd grade) but can easily fit into my regular tops. In fact with dd I could wear regular tops with an undershirt right up to the day she was born. I also still fit into my jeans with a hair tie around the button. Not quite big enough for the maternity jeans but the shorts feel SO COMFY! I'm hoping everything as far as work skirts will still fit come September (due early October) so I don't have to worry about finding maternity pants for two months. It did last time so I'm hoping I get lucky again!

babealertz · April 2015

I'm slowly developing a tiny belly, but my pants aren't tight at all--they ride pretty low, so my belly is above the waistband. All of my shirts still fit, but the hems are gradually rising. Now that's I've made it this far with minimal physical changes (on the outside, at least) I'm hoping to make it in regular clothes until the weather is consistently nice and I can just switch to dresses.

etobias2005 · April 2015

I'm 14.5 weeks and still in regular clothes.... BUT I lost 20 lbs prior to getting pregnant. I'm so glad that I kept those bigger clothes!

adcoxmt · April 2015

I'm 16w2d and can still wear my regular clothes. Even my jeans. I've done the hair tie through the button hole a few times when I've eaten a ton and its a little uncomfortable to sit down with my pants buttoned. Otherwise my jeans are buttoned like normal. I have a small bump but not enough to stretch clothing any....I bought some maternity things, size small, and most of them are HUGE on me. Ugh.

elmann1 · April 2015

I'm 15 weeks and all my regular dresses fit me. My shirts are becoming tighter on my (mostly in the boob area). Still not really showing at all....

jenspeake · April 2015

I'm still wearing my pants and able to button them but I'm starting to overflow over the top! My sister gave me all her old maternity clothes and I tried a pair of full panel maternity jean capris....LOVE THEM! Why can't we wear these all the time! No waistband! Awesome! My only issue now is my shirts......they are starting to get shorter and shorter due to my growing over belly!

am&n · April 2015

14 weeks and still in my regular clothes, but I am wearing all of my flowing tops. And already had one size up pants from my other pregnancies. I pulled out some maternity clothes but they look ridiculous on me. I'm only 5'1 and everything is so long right now. I know that will soon change!

jlculpeps · April 2015

15w 4d and still in all my regular clothes with no problem! Hoping to mostly avoid maternity clothes with flowy tops and maxi skirts.

mommygrams0730 · April 2015

I'll be 13 weeks on Wednesday and still in regular clothes...pretty much because I haven't said anything at work and all my maternity tops have the synched sides to accent the belly, which I'm obviously I'm trying to avoid at the moment.

I feel like my bloat has finally gone down (until evening then it's back) so my clothes fit a little more regular.

I'd really like to hold out until summer before any maternity clothes...because I teach and am off in the summer, this way I won't get sick of my maternity clothes come fall.

TheSouffleGirl · April 2015

Sized up in pants at about ten weeks, but other than that, still in normal clothes! (15 weeks).

KLHauck12 · April 2015

I'm about 13 weeks and still in regular clothes. No bump for me yet. Just some days really bloated so I will choose a skirt or maxi dress (if weather cooperates) because it's more comfy. But I can still wear all my shirts and jeans fully buttoned. Because of this I haven't bought anything new other than some more maxi dresses.

LiveNLove44 · April 2015

13 weeks tomorrow and still in regular clothes...HOWEVER, I had a couple pairs of choice pants at 10 weeks with DD that I'd wear in maternity due to bloating. This time around has been totally different and everything fits normally except for some shirts. I wear looser shirts for comfort more than anything around my midsection. As a STM, I thought I'd be in maternity pants by now, but I guess what they say is true, every pregnancy is different!

**I did try out my maternity shorts last weekend to show DH, but less out of necessity and more out of excitement for having found a cute, great deal!

Telebell · April 2015

12.5 weeks here and solidly in maternity pants for the last week or so. It's my second, I think I did the Bella band/hair tie trick linger with the first. My shirts are fine though.
