When to buy maternity clothes

Question

I’m not sure when to start buying maternity clothes and I’m pretty nervous to as I’ve had two losses in the past. I’m 14w3d and I’m pretty small so all of my jeans, I can’t fit anymore and I’m tired of wearing leggings when it’s starting to get hot and anything with a stretchy band around the waist feels too tight. Are there any tips of what I can do with my clothes to make them last longer until I feel comfortable? When should I start buying clothes that will fit me?

Answer

You could try dresses as well, now that it's warmer! I think there are belly bands to help bridge the gap that you can wear om top of your regular pants while they're unbuttoned if you don't want to use a rubber band.

Answer

Buy whenever you want! You can always start with just one or two pants

Answer

With my first baby I got pregnant over New Years so I didn’t start showing until late spring/early summer. I bought one pair of maternity leggings, but for the most part I lived in maxi skirts (non maternity) because they were so comfortable! Summer dresses were also wonderful. 
I do recommend buying some maternity lounge pants though! With the pandemic I’m home every day so I practically live in my comfortable maternity lounge pants from Pink Blush. They were a lifesaver in my first trimester this time when I was bloated and feeling nauseous all the time, and I definitely regret not buying them when I was pregnant with my first. 
There’s no rule about the timing to buy maternity clothes. If you’re uncomfortable with your regular clothes then feel free to get some comfortable maternity clothes because there’s no need to suffer!

Answer

Buy whenever you are ready. Having maternity pants or those belly bands that go over the top of your pants are great to have on hand before you need them. I have nothing available near me so when I visited family at 8 weeks with my first I stocked up from sales and clearance anywhere I could. I didn’t need them for a bit but having clothes on hand worked great for me

Answer

I started buying a couple of bottoms at 9 or 10 weeks. No reason for you to be uncomfortable, and it just causes digestive issues.

Answer

I used a rubber band for a while!
