Fashion help?

I’m 7 weeks and very bloated. At this point, none of my jeans/pants fit. I can do the hair tie trick with some, but not all. I have leggings, but I’m a teacher and don’t know how to really style them professionally… I tried on some hand-me-down maternity pants, but too big. What are you all wearing to work in this in between stage?

  • Dresses for me mostly. I have a few that I rotate between.

  • Do you have to dress more formally for school or are you aloud to be pretty casual? I know it varies from school to school. I personally love wearing loose-fitting jumpsuits, they are cute now and continue to be cute when your belly grows. They are pretty casual though, but you may find some nice more tailored professional versions. Also maybe look for some linen pants with an elastic waist-band?  
  • I just bought some stretchy but office appropriate trousers on Amazon. Was really impressed with the quality! I don’t think I’ll be able to wear them longer than a couple months but they’re working for this awkward in between stage where I’m too bloated to fit into my normal pants/jeans. 
  • stretchy flared yoga pants that look professional off Amazon have been my go-to for work purposes but they’re also super comfy and give some of that extra room with the stretchiness. The bloating and wide hips are my problem rn at 7 weeks also. Even my leggings are too tight on me sometimes!
