When to buy maternity clothes?

Question

I’m very bloated just now, so much so that my jeans and work trousers hardly fit me anymore and are uncomfortable to wear. I’m only 8 and a half weeks (with my first baby) will the bloat disappear before my bump comes or will I not be able to fit in my trousers again? I don’t quite see the point on buying trousers that will be too big for me next year when I could just buy maternity trousers that will fit for a while but at 8 weeks it’s a bit early to be wearing maternity clothes. Does anyone else have that problem?

Answer

I'm 7.5wks and I broke down and bought a maternity bra and my first maternity clothes yesterday. I'm glad I did because all my bras were extremely uncomfortable this morning and I'm loving this maternity bra. The bloat has officially kicked in and how tight all of my clothes feel has me a little down today. I agree that you need to do what's right for you to feel good as your body changes.

Answer

I’m 26+4 along and haven’t bought any maternity clothing yet. Nor do I plan on it. I did however buy a belly band which goes over the belly and your pants and keeps them in place even if they don’t button. And it works for everything. Walmart online on sale for 11$

Answer

I'm almost 11 weeks and have been wearing them for a couple weeks now. Luckily I had them from my first so it was easy. If you're uncomfortable, go ahead and buy some.

Answer

GURL!! I was debating this for myself. 
Right now I'm wearing almost like sweat pants but I'm a nanny so it doesn't matter what I wear to work.
The BRAS though are a must. The wiring in regular bras can cause a billion different issues for your breast that won't show up until after which is crazy!! 
I caved & bought some maternity jeans but I'm hanging right until I can't anymore lol. 
But the bra was a must I got a few at target, nice support but also for breastfeeding, so I can use it all throughout. 
I'd say go for it because you'll just be happier when you're comfy! Hate to be miserable at work aside from the already miserable symptoms lol. Good luck

Answer

I had to wear maternity pants around that time for a few weeks, but now I’m 15 weeks and back in my clothes. The bloat is real!  And I don’t know about you, but I needed clothes that were loose on my belly for the nausea ... do what you need to!
