WWYD? Broken jeans

[blushing]

I live in casual clothes. I only have to put on work clothes once a month for a 2 hour meeting in the office, otherwise I am always at home. In my rotation of winter clothes I have 2 pairs of jeans, a pair of black corduroys and several tracksuit trousers. I am 5w5d at the moment and not in maternity clothes. 2 days ago my 1 pair of jeans broke, huge hole in the leg that can not be repaired. Today I noticed my second pair has small hole in the leg that will be probably grow and by Sunday I am going to need to throw them out.

With my pregnancy with DS I was in maternity clothes by 14 weeks. With my missed miscarriage I was in maternity clothes by 9 weeks. I do have some maternity jeans in my cupboard.

Now the WWYD? Would you go and buy normal jeans to wear for a few weeks? Or would you just start wearing your maternity ones now even though you have no bump?

(I am fat so I do have a stomach, just is this getting ahead of myself? Oh and my maternity jeans have an adjustable waist. These are them - www.vertbaudet.co.uk/stretch-bootcut-maternity-jeans-inside-leg-78-cm-blue-medium-wasched.htm?ProductId=018040080&FiltreCouleur=6404&t=1)

Edit: I forgot I also have 2 pairs of leggings in the rotation.

I feel like you'll need more than 2 pairs of pants in the next 10 weeks or so. I might buy one more pair, but not more than that because you have no idea how your body shape will change after you give birth.

I could get these for the inbetween stage and for after the birth - www.evans.co.uk/en/evuk/product/clothing-250468/jeans-denim-250511/evans-indigo-two-button-slouch-jeans-2457222?bi=1&ps=24
But I feel like they look like old lady jeans.

Or these might be better - www.evans.co.uk/en/evuk/product/clothing-250468/jeans-denim-250511/evans-indigo-clean-bootcut-pull-on-jeans-2521931?bi=1&ps=24

If you want to make them last longer, I think having a fly and using a Bella band would be better than elastic.

I only had 1 pair of jeans and 1 pair of slacks the entire pregnancy, wore leggings and dresses and skirts a LOT, I'd deal with it for the 3 weeks you need them.

i'd get a pair or two of cheaper jeans if you can. i needed a new pair around 8 weeks (my favorites got a rip in them) and got two during a sale at the gap. i knew i'd probably get at least a month out of them with normal wear (FTM) and then another month or so with a bella band. i'm still wearing them now at 14 weeks with no bella band (but probably will need one soon) and am glad i got them to tide me over for a bit.

I would not buy regular jeans at this point in time.
