When to start investing in maternity clothes?🤰🏻

Question

I am currently 12w2d today! I already started to show 😍 but am not sure when to look into purchasing maternity clothes. I’m not trying to spend tons on them since I’m not planning on having another kid for a few years. When did you ladies start purchasing your clothes???

Answer

I got two pairs of maternity jeans from old navy on sale around 13/14 weeks - i usually wear mom jeans that are high waisted, so I couldn’t button them over my baby puff. They’re comfy side-panel jeans that I plan to wear for the rest of my pregnancy (and maybe shamelessly for thanksgiving after 😂). I haven’t needed maternity shirts yet. I bought one from old navy, a simple tee shirt, to gauge where I am. It’s way too big for me to wear - 20 weeks on Tuesday. I did have to pick up a couple of shirts though a size bigger than I normally wear because my belly is absolutely noticeable.

Answer

I got maternity jeans about 12w because my bloat was unreal. They’ve lasted til now (34w) and will probably last through the rest of my pregnancy. I got 2 pair from motherhood maternity (sale was going on so I paid maybe $50-$60 total) and some dress slacks off Mercari for $6. I have maybe 3 maternity shirts, all my pre-pregnancy shirts still fit so I haven’t really bought a whole lot of maternity wear.

Answer

I’m 13 weeks and I’ve already bought a couple maternity pants... my shirts are still ok so far as I wear a lot of loose tops and blouses to work.  But I’m definitely showing already and none of my pants want to fit now.  I just want to be comfy and the maternity pants help

Answer

Honestly, don't invest in a lot of maternity clothes, they're just a money grab. Get some of those elastic belts with the fabric so that you can wear your pre-pregnancy jeans, and invest in some stretcher tops once you get bigger. The only things that you should invest in "maternity" wise are nursing bras and tops once you get into your last trimester/near your due date as your body will change a lot before than and you can't really tell how big your boobs will Get!

Answer

7 weeks 🤦🏻‍♀️. I’m too bloated for my clothes.

Answer

When clothes stopped fitting

Answer

I bought jeans first around 13 weeks because mine just werentcomfortable anymore. They I bought a pair of shorts for the same reason. I didn’t buy shirts until I couldn’t fit in mine anymore and I bought leggings  when my old leggings became restrictive even wearing them under my bump. Now that I know how comfortable this stuff is I’ll probably start wearing the leggings sooner.

Answer

I’m 23 weeks 5 days and i just had to purchase my first pair of maternity jeans today as my normal jeans are just a tad bit too tight now lol. I honestly think it’s different for everyone, just depends on how fast your bump is growing ❤️

Answer

i honestly purchased very little and did so very late in the pregnancy. next pregnancy i will start wearing maternity clothes earlier just ebcause they are way more comfortable. i bought ribbed tank tops from walmart and wore those throughout my.pregnancy and just added open sweaters to.those.

Answer

I bought some shorts at 8 weeks and a few basic tees. if you're in the US check Marshalls, TJ max and Ross!
