What should I wear?

What should I wear?

I am starting to lose it... I have nothing to wear and I am miserable. I haven't really popped yet at all - still totally hideable with regular clothes but my pants and skirts are all tight around the waist and just get tighter as the day goes on. I bought 3 pairs of low rise pants one size bigger from the Gap and although they are a little big on me at least they are comfortable. But I can't wear the same 3 pairs of pants everyday. Maternity clothes are just ridiculous on me. What did everyone do? Should I **** it up and buy a few more size 6s or just wait it out until I pop and go straight to maternity? What if I don't pop for like another month? I am 15 weeks now. I think this heat is getting to me... it's one of those days where you look in the mirror and want to cry (hate my clothes, hate my hair, hate my skin)

I bought 5 pairs of pants one size bigger than my normal size, and that's what got me through the first 5 and a half months. I bought a pair of maternity jeans at 15 or 16 weeks, because regular jeans were too constricting at my size, and 1 size bigger was waaaaay too long and roomy in the butt.

I know how miserable you feel, because I felt the same way.

The cruel fact of the matter is...you have to wear the same thing all the time!!! For a while....I found I couldn't buy the next size up because my legs and butt were swimming in them. I did find the magic of WRAP AROUND SKIRTS! - I found 2 on the sale rack in J Crew and those helped a LOT. Of course my husband called them my 'uniform' since I wore them so much...

Check out GapMaternity also (gap.com) for their 'barely showing' selections..and Old Navy as well. Target has a few things too. I understand your panic over spending the $. It SUCKS to buy stuff you don't even LIKE! But pretty soon you'll be in maternity only. I popped at like 10 weeks so I had this problem early on... my friend though is 2 weeks behind me and is at 16 weeks now - doesn't even look pregnant!!! She is just leaving skirts a little unzipped....

Thanks ladies. I feel terrible worrying about this after reading about what our MichelleW is going through. Sometimes it is easy to forget what a blessing this is.

I have been on Gap Maternity but didn't notice the barely showing stuff. I am going to check it out and then get myself ready for the day - in the same pants I wore yesterday

Did you try the rubberband trick? Take a rubberband and loop it around your pants/jeans/skirt button hole then attach to your button and Voila extra room I used this in the beginning and it worked great

I found lowrider jeans to be very comfortable for me during the first 2-3 months.
