Changes in clothing size?

Question

Hello everyone!
I just have a quick question about changing bodies while you're pregnant.
I know thinner women usually go up a couple sizes in clothing when they're pregnant, but I was wondering if bigger gals do too?
I've heard that a lot of women haven't had to buy special maternity clothes because whatever they have fits them throughout their pregnancy.
I'm also wondering about bras.
Did anyone go up in size while pregnant or nursing?
I'm a 46FF and I already have to special order 99% of my bras.
I'm not TTC right now but I'm just looking for information.
Any comments are appreciated. Thanks!

Answer

I'm 26 weeks I've gained 10lbs so far and my pant size hasn't gone up, the only reason I've gone up a size in shirts is so that they are long enough because I felt that my shirts were starting to get a little short

Answer

I'm 20w4d and I've actually lost 5 lbs, but my body is definitely changing. My boobs have gotten bigger and my tummy seems to have moved up and is a bit firmer. My regular clothes don't fit the same and most definitely are not comfortable. I've been able to buy a few things in the store at Motherhood Maternity and Target and try them on first, but the clothes I've ordered online I've been reading reviews to see whether other moms say they are true to size or run small or big.

Answer

I was a 14 prepreg and cannot wear regular clothes. I stayed in my 14s until 20ish weeks, then moved up to a 16 until 25ish weeks and then could only wear leggings/yoga pants (size xl) and maternity pants size xl. My legs have gotten much thicker from all of the extra fluid. I retain water bad anyway, and not being able to take my meds doe that has made me swell up pretty bad. I'm excited to be post partum so I can get back to a normal size and wear more than 5 things.

Answer

I've had to go up a size in dresses for more belly room. My boobs seem to get bigger by the week lol. I've gone up about three bra sizes. I'm 29weeks3days and my legoings are just starting to become a little snug, just in the belly though.

Answer

It all depends on the woman.
Some thin women stay thin, some get big
Some larger women lose weight, some gain
Some maintain
I'm bigger and have lost 6 pounds due to healthy eating and not having an appetite.
Your doctor will tell you based on your health where you should be
Good luck!
