2nd time around - maternity clothes?

[mellymel]

I didn't switch to maternity pants until about 19 weeks still wearing regular tops to work and maternity tops at home for lounging.

i actuallt started wearing maternity much earlier, like 10 or 11 weeks!

well, i had twins the 2nd time around- but my bloat was SOOOO bad early on- i was in maternity pants literally from about 8 weeks on, b/c i was too uncomfortable in my regular pants. I think i was in maternity shirts around 15 weeks (again, twins + stretched out belly)... b/c i wanted to look pregnant and not like i was just fat, lol.

I was using the bella band by 8-9 weeks.

I had to bust out a pair of maternity jeans at once at 8 weeks because of bloat. I think I was in maternity pants full time around 12-13 weeks and tops around 16 weeks.

I started way earlier this time. I've been wearing maternity jeans for a couple weeks (since maybe 14 weeks), but it was only this week (at 16 weeks) that my regular jeans are really uncomfortable. I can still wear a lot of regular skirts and things, but not all of them.

With DD I didn't wear maternity pants until 19 weeks or so.

I can see it happening in the next 2-3 weeks. I'm on #3, and in no hurry to break out those clothes again, but the bloat is out.of.control. I already have a tummy (probably just from bloat and all the carbs I'm eating to keep the m/s at bay), and my pants will not fit if I get much bigger.

I've been wearing maternity shirts for weeks because mine aren't long enough. I've been wearing pants with a rubber band since the very beginning. I bet ill break out my maternity pants by 16 w. I'm 13.5 w now.

On #2 now - almost 16 weeks. I'm wearing some maternity tees around the house just because I picked them up on clearance and they're really soft and awesome.

Not wearing any maternity clothes to work because I still haven't told them, but I've been wearing the bella band since maybe week 12 or 13?

with my first I broke out the bella band about the same time and didn't move into maternity clothes until about 20 weeks. This time it may be a few weeks earlier...

I'm still in my regular clothes, although I think this is the last week (and my tickers is about a week off--my OB now thinks I'm about a week ahead of that).

My jeans and work pants still fit but I'm running out of shirts that look decent. However, I tried on my old maternity clothes yesterday, and they looked a little ridiculous since I was much bigger last time.

I wore regular pants through about 15 weeks.
