Too early to start buying Maternity clothes?

Question

When I began this pregnancy I was already overweight. My weight on the scale has remained stable due to moderate exercise but I only have a few choice outfits that fit me now and I'm tired of wearing the same stuff! I'm almost 12wks.

I haven't gone a shopping yet bc I don't know if it's better to just buy clothes a few sizes up for just go the Maternity route? Have any of you ladies began buying or wearing maternity clothes yet?

Answer

Just buy maternity clothes.  No sense wasting money on clothes a size or two up because they won't fit you properly later.  You may be able to wear your maternity clothes for your next pregnancy or get a decent resale for them.

Answer

I'm 12 weeks today, also plus size when I started. This is my 5th pregnancy with 2 live births. So my body grows faster with each pregnancy. I have been wearing maternity clothes since 7-8 weeks!

Answer

Ive been buying stretchy leggings and long loose fitting blouses in a size or 2 up!

Answer

The only thing I bought was 1 pair of maternity jeans to be comfortable and 2 prego yoga pants bc they were only $4 at kohls as far as shirts go I haven't gotten any maternity shirts yet.

Answer

I'm pregnant with my first as well...12 weeks today. I've put off buying maternity clothes but today is it, I can't keep wearing my jeans anymore, and most of my shirts are getting tight or riding up when I wear them. Part of why I've put it off is that I don't like the jeans Target has in stock...I typically wear anywhere between a 10 and 14 for jeans, and I never wear skinny jeans because they're restricting and my legs are short and I can't roll them up. The Targets near me only stock the skinny jeans and usually in light colors with rips and stuff...I just wish they'd stock some dark wash, boot cut maternity jeans!

Answer

It's never too early to feel comfortable in my opinion,  my #3 and pre-pregnant I'm just at 100 lbs and extremely short. I've been in maternity clothes for almost 2 weeks, but the point is that if you are uncomfortable in your clothes and the extended waist line helps then it's never too early! ❤

Answer

I bought maternity clothes almost right away! lol. I was due for some new clothes anyway so decided to just go with maternity. It is my first pregnancy and I do hope to be able to use them again. I say go for it. Be comfortable.

Answer

I am 10 weeks tomorrow and my pants don't fit comfortably so my husband and I went today and bought 4 pairs of maternity pants. I also put on a belly to make sure they will still fit when my tummy is bigger.  These are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn & I think I'll wear them even after I drop the weight!  Oh and bigger girl or not just do what feels comfy to you.  I was 112 lbs before the baby now I'm 115.5!  We all gain!

Answer

I got starchy black leggings and 2 dresses that can be good pregnancy dresses but not necessarily.

Answer

I'm a plus size woman and because I am picky about my clothes I just buys clothes I like a few sizes to big that way I will look good and feel good in what I wear. But it is all really personal preference. Good luck.
