Maternity clothes

Never thought I'd be asking this but the bloat is REALLLLL. My jean shorts are feeling a bit snug lately. I'm only 5 weeks so I know it's bloat and not my uterus growing already. I have actually considered possibly busting out the maternity shorts 🙈 anyone else feel this way?

Re: Maternity clothes

  • Yes! I’m counting the days until my maternity pants get here. I’m eating healthy and trying not to eat too much but the bloat is still REALLLLL!

  • In my last pregnancy I bought soft leggings in a bigger size + long shirts that would fit my belly because they don’t sell maternity clothes here. Looks like I have to find them again soon because the bloat is real! 😱
  • @stardust95 do you mind if I ask where you live?

  • I've already broken out the maternity yoga pants, and I'm pretty sure the shorts are next. I'm still packing 20+lbs from last pregnancy, so I never really lost the belly to begin with.
  • This is my first pregnancy and the level of bloat is shocking tbh... nothing fits comfortably! I'm probably going to have to buy new underwear which never occurred to me 😅

    I just bought underwear in a size or 2 bigger during my last pregnancy. I didn't give any maternity underwear that I liked

  • This is my second pregnancy and I never lost the weight from my first. But my clothes already seem tight. I’ll be breaking out my maternity clothes soon! Bloating and cramps have started already.
  • Yes!! Between the bloating and the constipation I already look like I'm showing even though I know it's not a real bump!
  • I’m so glad other people feel this way! I had to change into different clothes yesterday because everything felt so tight and uncomfortable! I didn’t think I would feel this way already at 5 weeks! 
  • Work from home perks: leggings all day, every day 🎉
  • Yes! The bloat is insane. I'm exclusively wearing my fabletics leggings and sweat pants. And then as soon as I eat dinner, I ditch even those and change into my nightgown

  • For sure! But this is also my 3rd baby so I feel like it definitely contributes. I'm ready to go buy all the maternity clothes lol
  • I had meeting In The Real World today that involved a dress and heels. Started the day feeling good. Ended the day so bloated I LOOKED hella pregnant. So glad to already be back in leggings for the flight home! 😅
  • Absolutely agree! Only 5 weeks in, first pregnancy, and I’m like - Bring on maternity clothes! I feel so bloated, my clothes all feel too tight. Gonna have to buy bigger leggings, underwear, and scrubs for work!
  • I already broke out my maternity clothes! I wore my maternity shorts yesterday because I was so bloated 🙃
  • I use a pony tail holder to button my pants, I've seen that trick on a lot of blogs. Trying to wait on ordering clothes until the season changes.
  • Got out my maternity pants yesterday for dinner. Was uncomfortable before dinner and knew I’d be miserable after!! No shame. 6w4d.

  • I thought I was crazy when I had to unbutton my jeans to sit down!! Needless to say I have multiple pairs of maternity jeans on the way 
  • Oh man, jeans have been out of the question lately… flowy linen and sweat pants have been my jam 😂 
  • I’m glad to see I’m not the only one about to order maternity leggings at 6 weeks 4 days- literally nothing fits comfortably- if I even think about buttoning my pants I get nauseous- this is my first pregnancy and I never thought I’d feel everything so fast and everything would change this fast- I thought I had till 4 months for some reason lol 
  • Same!! This is my first viable pregnancy, 7 weeks today! I’m SO bloated that yesterday I walked past a mirror and swear it looked like I was showing. 
  • I’m 11 weeks, so I have a small bump but I think it’s mainly bloat! I bought some maternity shorts from Walmart and they are pretty comfy! I also bought some maternity leggings from Nordstrom’s, but we’ll see if I end up keeping them. The legs feel a little tight, so I might have to go up a size. 
  • I’m 9 weeks, and my scrub pants are getting tight.
