When did you start wearing maternity clothes?

Question

So I will be 9 weeks Friday, and I have already noticed my jeans are getting uncomfortably tight, but just in the waistband. This is my first pregnancy and I am sure my jeans are just feeling tight from first trimester bloat as I haven’t actually gained any weight yet. I’m considering maternity pants to relieve some pressure from my stomach. P.S. im not much of a leggings in public person. If I were I would probably just switch to those. 
What are your thoughts? Am I too early for maternity clothes? When did you start wearing maternity clothing? Just looking for opinions. Thanks! 😊

Answer

i’m 29wks4d and i haven’t worn any yet. my jeans still fit except in the waist, but i just used the hair tie trick and then doubled it when i got bigger. now i mostly live in sweat pants but if i go out i put on jeans, the hair tie trick stopped working about 2(?) weeks ago so i bought one of those spandex belly bands and just use it to cover the front of my jeans. i will admit shirts are getting kinda tight but i throw on a hoodie and i’m good. i did however purchase a cute maternity romper and some bathing suits (i live in Va Beach) just for fun lol everyone’s different with their comfort zone though, i say buy them whenever you want !

Answer

At 14 weeks my jeans weren’t comfortable anymore so I switched to maternity jeans. I don’t understand why anybody would put off making the switch, they’re so much more comfortable!

Answer

Don't invest in maternity clothes until you have to as they are expensive. I am 34 weeks pregnant and can still fit in almost all of my old clothes (shirts and pants). My thighs and butt have grown so I can't fit into all my old jeans, but when it comes to the waistband size I would be able to still fit.

Answer

I started maternity leggings/pants around that time because I was so bloated that nothing fit and a tight waistband pressing on my stomach made the nausea worse. I say go for it, they’re super comfortable!

Answer

14 weeks

Answer

I'm currently pregnant with my second and I've been in maternity clothes since 7 weeks 🤷🏽‍♀️ The bloat is real. There's no right or wrong time to switch over it's whenever you feel it's time.  Pregnancy is rough enough as it is you deserve to feel comfortable.

Answer

i didn’t need until 22 weeks however the maternity clothes like jeans they’re still loose but i’m also big enough to not fit in regular clothes so it’s annoying

Answer

I’m 12 weeks and wearing my normal jeans makes me feel sick now so I just ordered some maternity jeans. The rest of my clothes still fit fine.

Answer

I did at 12 weeks with my first pregnancy. No idea how soon it will be with this pregnancy

Answer

I started wearing them around 12 weeks! So much comfier than my regular jeans! Don’t be ashamed to switch. I could probably still fit in my normal jeans but would be so I comfortable. I’m all about being comfy.
