    I was really bloated early on so my cousin gave me a few pair of her pants. They weren't really maternity but like tie string around the waist and were linen so they were really comfy. I am 3 months now and only 1 pair of my jeans fit me. I have a few pair of maternity pants. Everyone thinks I am at least 4 months preg cause I am already showing, but I was thinner to begin with so my belly already seemed to pop.

    I look bigger also when I wear maternity clothes so then I actually look preg instead of fat! lol

    Whatever you are comfortable in wear it. Don't let friends or family tell you when is a good time for you to wear maternity clothes.

    AH 20 or 21 I think, but I refuse to buy anything maternity. With everything going up up.. I just don't see on buy something I'm only going to wear for a couple of months and then throw it back in the drawer again. Plus some of the things Ive seen are ugly or very expensive. So I just wear work out clothing, stretch, summer dresses etc.

    i'm going to be 18 weeks and I've bought some maternity clothes, but I haven't started to wear them yet...i'm hoping to hold off a little while longer. I work full time and have to look business casual so I'm not lucky enough to wear sweatpants all day long. I have a few elastic or tie waist pants and skirts that I can still wear and for everything else, I rely heavily on my bella band! that thing is a godsend! my shirts still pretty much fit, except the button down ones, those, I just wear open with a camisole or dressy tee underneath

    I started wearing maternity pants at 10 weeks I was really bloated and couldn't button my pants. I just started wearing maternity shirts at 16 weeks.

    I started wearing them at about 10 weeks. I was extremely excited to finally be pregnant, showing some, and may have rushed it a bit. Whenever you feel you are ready, go for it. Most of my friends started wearing maternity around three or four months.

  • With my first child i was about 28 weeks. With my second i was the same. And now with this one i was 26 weeks. My normal clothes fit just right still. I still wear my normal pants just use maternity shirts.

    I started to need maternity pants when I was around 15 weeks, i'm now 20 weeks and can no longer fit into any of my pre-pregnancy clothes! :( But,it's ok...hopefully i'll be able to get back into them after the baby is born!
