Maternity Clothes

[Koala]

Please talk to me about your maternity clothes.  Were you able to fit into regular maternity clothes throughout your pregnancy?  Or did you have to switch to any of the clothes made specifically for multiples?  I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow, but I'm starting to worry about how big my belly is going to get by the end.

I'm wearing regular maternity clothes. Honestly, I didn't know they made maternity clothes for multiples pregnancy. I'm 26w5d and my clothes are fitting fine. When I'm lounging at home and wearing maternity lounge pants that are not full panel and an older maternity t-shirt from my last pregnancy my stomach shows. It's really annoying and I'm always pulling up the pants. That's my biggest gripe right now but since I'm just lounging at home I just deal.

Oh and my underwear will not stop rolling down all day everyday. I did not have this issue with my last pregnancy. I've tried to go up a size and switch brands but still have this issue. It is beyond annoying and the thing I want to complain about the most this pregnancy. Of course I don't complain about this to strangers. ha Just my DH and sisters.

I had my boys at 29 weeks, so I was bigger than a full term single, but I wasnt into "twin big"' territory. I just ordered a size or two up in maternity clothes, so instead of a M maternity tee, I got a XL. Clothes were fitting fine but they were so itchy that anytime I was home, my belly was bare and out. Haha.

I wore regular pregnancy stuff the entire time. Things got slightly ill-fitting toward the end, but I was so uncomfortable I didn't care. I mostly did tank tops and cardigans or maxi dresses (in October/November) because I was so hot.

Thanks everyone! This is helpful information and makes me feel better! A little bit ill-fitting is probably fine. I work from home, so I can't imagine I will be going too many places towards the end.

I wore regular maternity stuff, but toward the end even the full panel pants wouldn't cover but half my stomach. Dresses were my friend.

Oh yeah. I pretty much never wore maternity pants, except for leggings. Dresses and skirts all the way.

I did size up on a couple basic t's and had to wear them at the end. But pants and skirts were fine the whole time for the same size.

I barely, barely fit in regular maternity clothes. The only thing that really fit were xxl maternity tanks from Old Navy that I could pull way down over my belly (exposing my chest but I wore a shirt over it). I carried straight out though as in barely looked pregnant from behind and babies were both 7lbs. I don't think most women carry the way I did.

I carried my son that way too but with the twins I kept waiting for it to go out to the sides but it never did lol
