I just got a whole bunch for Christmas from a friend. Hand-me-downs I'm still in the denial phase of not being able to fit in my regular pants for much longer, so I will have to suck it up and go get some jeans in the next few weeks or so. Lol.
I'm 15+1 and a FTM but I ordered a pair of maternity jeans on black Friday and tried them on when I got them....I haven't gone back to regular pants since then. I've since then gotten a pair or maternity dress pants, capris, and 2 more pairs of jeans. I figured I might as well get use out of them! Also leggings are amazing and until getting pregnant I was in denial about wearing them as pants but now I have no shame as long as my shirt covers my butt and lady parts! They're my best friend ha
@mmmmkay stop being a crazy person lol just kidding but really they're so comfortable and I truly believe you won't regret it!! May I ask why you are so hesitant to wear them?
I don't know. partially because most of my regular pants still fit okay. though my jeans are getting a bit tight - but mostly in the thigh. I think it's partially because i am cheap and don't want to buy stuff. and my job has a dumb dress code which only allows you to wear black white grey and red, which limits my options. and i already hate shopping. and i've gained more than i have supposed to (about 12 pounds at 17 weeks, a couple pounds over the max suggested so don't want to just buy new pants because things are a little tight... i don't know. i'm dumb.
i have some secret plan to only buy stretchy regular clothes that i could fit into after too. but i have not yet figured out how to execute this plan.
the even dumber thing is that my friends gave me four big boxes of maternity clothes that i haven't even looked at yet!
You're not dumb at all!! If your other clothes still fit that's awesome! I love being super comfortable and already hate jeans so anything more comfortable is my go to lol. That's really difficult to have a dress code! I looked for sales online because I had shopping and spending money. The only time I went in a store was at destination maternity I went in and they have their clearance buy one item get the 2nd for $5 so I got a couple jeans and dress shirts!
I bought maternity clothes but was too skittish to actually take the tags off and wear them. So they sat in my closet for a long time in case something bad happened and they needed to be returned.
But I looooove them, you get to the point where real clothes are just awful.
Mumberry has the best leggings ever! Instead of buying a belly-support band AND a pair of pants, you can get two in one. All of their clothes have the "MumBand" (a belly-support band) built-in to them so they give a ton of support! And they grow with your belly so you can wear them all through being pregnant mumberry.com
