Where are the posts about...

how early you go into maternity clothes? I put on a skort I bought a month ago today and it's too tight The medium shirts I bought (non-maternity) are looking snugger than I like them to look (I'm a little pudgy to begin with and feel I need to 'hide' in my clothes)

I'm about ready to buy a whole load of drawstring pants!!!

I didn't buy anything until I was out of that 'window of fear' period (at 12 weeks). I just figured I would lose it if god forbid something happened and I had to look at a closet full of maternity clothes. I just pulled out my comfy clothes and wore my zipper open quite a bit.

about 12 weeks. Before then, I would wear some larger clothing. I fit into my regular clothes though until about 10 weeks.

I think what you are feeling now ia a little bloated maybe- your body is still getting used to being pg. Should go back to normal in a few days and you will fit into that skirt again- at least for a few more weeks/month.

really? this bloating goes away??? AWESOME but I think I may need to go into size L and 12 in the meantime!

no, the bloating doesnt go away... your belly will just keep getting bigger silly. Just get a bigger size and you should be fine

I pretty much started wearing them at about 10 weeks, just the tops at first. But now the rubberband doesn't work on my jeans anymore.

I was behind in doing laundry at about 10 weeks and all of my work pants were dirty so I put on a pair of maternity pants I had in the closet and there was no turning back

I probably could have lasted a while longer but the stretchy was just so comfy that I never did.

I don't think I started wearing maternity clothes until 14/15 weeks, but let me tell you I'm NEVER GOING BACK I have a lot 'fat' clothes in my closet from my chubbier days, so I ended up wearing those for most of the first trimester, and a lot of sweats I just stopped by a Gap outlet last week and bought all these really comfy skirts in a few sizes too big, and they work REALLY well...

I bought my first pair of maternity jeans @ about 10wks. They are the COMFIEST pants! I found that I would have a belly in the AM but by PM it was much bigger, so the theory of buying one size up didn't work for me. You can wear most maternity pants for the whole pregnancy - I figured I'd rather do that than spend money on a regular pair of pants I never knew how long I'd fit in.

For the most part I am still in my regular clothes. I do have a few maternity shirts that someone gave me. I am going to go to Target tomorrow and get some more shirts and get some pants. Liz Lange has alot of nice stuff there. My regular shirts are too short for me because my boobs got so big. (I am 16 weeks this coming Saturday)
