Maternity sizes

Morgan • I`m Morgan Cheyenne and have PCOS and am pregnant with my first child. I am due May 4th. I am extremely nervous and petrified but at the same time am very blessed I have even gotten to enjoy this.
I know everyone's bump is different but I was looking at some maternity clothes on eBay and I have no clue how to estimate what size I'll need. I'm already big so I just don't know. I just wanted to know about yalls experiences. Thanks

Based on material, I've either stayed true to my pre-maternity size or sized up. For example, blouses for work which have a little less give I've sized up, cotton t-shirts I've stayed true to size. Worked so far for me!

I'm an XL normally and XL in maternitity as well.. You do have those brands that run small or run big. I love the motherhood brand. I haven't had any issues with sizes

I'm an Xxl and I bought that.. the belly band works well with the growing baby so you don't really need to change pants... but.... shirt you must go up a size they have baby bumps to try
