Maternity clothes during subsequent pregnancys

[lexus]

When did you start wearing your maternity clothes again? I'm only eight weeks but my pants don't fit right anymore. I've gained less than five pounds but it's all in the tummy. I got a belly band but I feel like I'm always pulling up my pants and there isn't much privacy to do that in my classroom. Part of me feels like a fat slob for wanting to get them out so early and the other part of me just wants to be comfortable at work. WWDWPD?

I show early (or bloat early) so very early both times. Around 10 weeks with #1 and 8 weeks with #2

Earlier with each subsequent pregnancy. About 8-10 weeks the last time b/c the bloat was so bad and the pressure of regular jeans was killing me.

Earlier. Being that it was summer I had some wiggle room, but I definitely was not wearing my skinny jeans or khaki shorts even at 6-8 weeks. The bloat was awful and never went away. I dug out maternity clothes around 10 weeks. At this point I'd prefer to wear sweats and dhs sweatshirts all the time. FFTC: By the end of the day I am ready to strip it all off and go naked. I hate clothes these days.

I think I was about nine weeks.

Maybe around 10 weeks. I was newly pregnant at this same time last year and wore lots of leggings and tunics on top in the beginning. I gain a lot during the first trimester so maternity clothes came out quickly.

I don't know, but early. Do it as soon as you want to. With the fourth one, I had people commenting on my pregnancy at SEVEN WEEKS (so it was so obvious that they evidently felt confident commenting, even though I thought I was "hiding" it!).

Like 8 weeks? I was so bloated.

With my third, I was in them at 6 weeks. I was SO FREAKING BLOATED.

With #2, I was bringing down the maternity boxes before the positive test. Ugh. Soooooo bloated and anything pressing on my tummy made me want to vomit. I gave up on any regular pants by 6-8 weeks.

I knew I liked you ladies! I just got them out of storage! No more belly band for me!

Yeah, go for it! I got them out super early the second time around, too. I hate the feeling of a normal waistband at the best of times, let alone while pregnant! I wasn't working, so I mostly hung out in stretched out yoga pants or maternity clothes.

We're supposed to stop wearing maternity clothes after the baby is born?

Yes! You just transition to other stretchy pants like yoga pants/leggings.
