When did you start wearing maternity clothes?
ByI am only nine weeks and don’t plan on wearing them for a while but all of my normal clothes are so uncomfortable. I just want to wear sweats everyday. When did you other mommies trade in the normal jeans for maternity.

Last week! I’m 17 weeks pregnant and I just can’t fit in anything normal now….I got tired of sweats and leggings…I just felt fat! I can wear jeans again and nice skirts. It’s my second baby, so I think thats why Im showing a lot.

about 4 months, when everything felt too tight.
I would say wear the maternity clothes now if the regular clothes feel tight.

8 weeks with my second or lots of strech pants. you could always try putting a rubber band though your button holes to give a little extra room

I was about 18 weeks before I started buying larger sizes and only a couple of maternity things. Just go with your body if you are uncomfortable get something that feels comfortable.

At about 14-15 weeks I bought a few maternity tops. My pants still fit because I had lost a lot of weight due to vomiting, but many of my shirts were too tight in the chest and stomach. I am now at about 18 weeks and I need to buy some maternity pants soon.

I ended up buying some plus size clothes because they are bigger in the belly area. I didn’t start wearing my real maternity clothes until I was 6 months. You might want to check into getting some Bella Bands to help with the transition into maternity clothes. I use hair ties to fasten my buttons on my pants, and I found some stretchy tube tops at a thrift store to wear around the waist of my pants. Some maternity clothes are just way too big until the last trimester.

I’d say around 20 weeks or so. I tried to avoid the pants by wearing a belly band for a while so I could still wear my regular clothes longer. This worked well since you can wear your regular pants unbuttoned and unzipped and no one knows.
