    Already noticing some bloat, but still in my jeans.  I just bought several new pairs of jeans so I'm sad I won't get much wear out of them.  But secretly ready to get out the stretchy pants!!!

    I have to wear pants at work. They are still buttoning up but I noticed in the bathroom mirror today they are definitely are a lot tighter than when I bought them! :neutral:

    @ShakeUpTampa I gave my maternity jeans away last time I purged my closet. I'm slightly regretting that decision now, but they were fitting way too big so I really had no use for them. Time to start hunting for a new pair or two!! Where did you get yours ?

    @MamaBear148 One pair started sagging like ghetto jeans so those got let go but I am able to buy pre owned at a resale shop local to me that carries maternity or I buy at Motherhood/Destination Maternity online when they do sales! I got lucky enough to win a $500 gift card to them over a year ago and bought a few transition pieces that are good for not pregnant or pregnant and saved the rest for this pregnancy.

    I've been doing the hairband trick for over a week. I don't think I look bloated, but I definitely feel like my pants are too tight and everything down there doesn't like being squished.

    Not yet, but wishing I was! Nothing like the relief from maternity jeans though. Not until I have to because last pregnancy I got tired of those real quick.

    Ah I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I put on my favorite pair of shorts yesterday and I looked like a sausage in them  :s

    The bloat is real! I wear jeans at work, but as soon as I get home and all weekend long, I'm rocking the yoga pants. Jeans are definitely tighter than they used to be for sure!

    Ugh. I'm about to! Sad thing is I desperately need some new jeans...as I'm the ones I have are incredibly worn and I'm waiting for a crotch tear to happen already in a couple pairs. But buying new jeans right now would be ridiculous and I'm not ready to dig out my maternity clothes. I guess I need to hop aboard the legging train!

    not yet, but my pants are definitely tighter. I can't wait until it gets warmer around here, I plan on spending all summer in dresses, and until then maybe dresses and leggings. But right now it's still like 20* in Chicago and too cold for that!

    I am dreading the summer. I never wear dresses, but I'm already contemplating buying some to survive the Texas heat. 
    I lived in dresses at the end of my last pregnancy! And sandals. I'm not looking forward to having to put on socks and real shoes in 3rd Tri this time around...

    I'm using the belly band already for my work pants which haven't fit well since my DD was born

    Ha! I've not actually used a rubber band yet, I just leave my pants unbuttoned and wear a long, flower top. No one can tell what I'm doing, lol. Mind you, I'm only 5 weeks, 4 days.

    @MamaBear148 You are not alone! My hairbow/hair tie is almost too tight. Most of the time my jeans are unbuttoned & unzipped!  :D

    I've been working on losing weight the last few years so I have pants in 3 different sizes. I'm now back up a size and they fit ok, still 2 pairs a size up from what I've got now but dresses have been so comfy! Being a dog groomer I get to wear comfy swishy pants and a big smock so work hasn't been too bad as of yet!

    Another leggings FTW right here. I'm sick of the bloat. I can totally still zip my pants but it cuts into my bloat so badly I'd rather just hang in leggings :)

    Oh Definitely, leggings FTW! Especially being a LLR Consultant I see no reason to ever wear pants ever again! Hahaha!

    @Myelhsa consultant here too!!! I did splurge on two pairs of yoga pants with fold over waist though...to hide the bloat until I put some high that bump outfits together. I need enough hiding outfits in front of friends and family but normal day to day LLR all day every day haha

    Yaaasssss!  I have a few of the fold over waist bands from target, those were Lifesavers during my last pregnancy! But I also didn't know about LLR last time I was pregnant so I feel like this is going to be a total game changer.

    I'd be doomed without leggings and skirts that fasten high on my waistline. Although by the time I got home both time wearing skirts I couldn't wait to get them unzipped! Craziness

    @mnajib92 The only thing I would add here is that the Legging fabric is prepared a special way so that they are the softest leggings I've ever felt in my entire life. I plan on living in these bad boys.

    My scrub pants are literally cutting off the circulation to my lower half... Definitely going to have to figure something out soon.

    Im unbuttoning my pants at my desk. No shame. I just bought a couple of maternity leggings and jeans on zulily. Not bad pricing either.

    I'm only at six weeks and the bloat is so real. I have to wear panty hose for work and feel like I'm suffocated. My work dress barely zips over my chest already. Wishing I could live in leggings and loose tops!
