Mostly I've given up on shirts since 80% of my maternity shirts don't cover the last few inches of the panel on my pants anymore :'( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2463399 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 15:28:45 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2463399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore full panel pants the entire time. They never bothered me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2463264 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 14:15:21 +0000 Purpledaisy 2463264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love maternity pants! They're so comfortable! I like super stretchy jeans with a full panel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2463226 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:45:56 +0000 csross217 2463226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could stop wearing pants!!! It's way too cold here (Maine) to go outside without something on my legs... I've been wearing leggings and yoga pants when I can, but my office dress code is business casual so I have to wear maternity trousers all week. Can't stand them! Low panels fall down, full panels are constricting and itchy. I've gotten away with wearing leggings and tunic sweaters to work a few times, but I get some funny looks from my coworkers. I'm at the point now though where I just don't care anymore though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462805 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 09:42:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2462805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wear pants, period! Pregnant or not! I live in jeggings and leggings! I haven't had to zip up and button a fly in a long long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462739 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 08:58:26 +0000 avivoca 2462739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 7.5 weeks and I have quit pants. I'm too small for full panel but Demi panel pants and regular pants hit in a spot that just makes me want to barf. It is so uncomfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462733 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 08:51:09 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2462733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! Luckily it was hot here at the end, so I wore a jersey fold over skirt every day. Leggings were good too- or dresses. Could you wear a maxi skirt with long cozy socks underneath? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462647 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 07:40:35 +0000 ms.line 2462647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 10 days from my due date and I HATE PANTS. It's too cold here to wear skirts or just leggings, so on the weekends I'm wearing sweats or thick yoga pants (sloppy but IDGAF anymore!) I have to put on jeans to go to work though, and it makes me want to scream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462635 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 07:28:19 +0000 Eko 2462635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 32 weeks I dropped them. I did leggings or just dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462616 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 06:52:07 +0000 futuremama 2462616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was okay in pants with DD, but it was only certain ones. A few of the full panels could only be work with the panel bunched under my belly. She was due in March though, and it's still pretty cold here. #2 is due in July, so I expect a lot of skirts and dresses. I'm not dealing with pants and the heat. Hopefully I don't dwell too much at the end and can still wear shorts every now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462523 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 21:36:11 +0000 blackbird 2462523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah at 7.5 months. Fuck pants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462522 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 21:34:25 +0000 mrsrain 2462522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I'm 34 weeks and since I stay at home there are many days where I stick to pajamas. Pants are the worst lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462501 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 21:04:27 +0000 Finfan 2462501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I work with kids and dress code is business casual so I had to wear real maternity pants all the way to delivery. My water broke 15 minutes after I got home from work this time around at 38w6d and baby was in my arms 12 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462450 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 19:38:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2462450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my 38 week appointment I told my OB "this is the last time I'm wearing pants." Yoga pants were dress up pants, most of the time I was in pajama bottoms. My belly was so ridiculously huge this last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462446 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 19:35:37 +0000 travellingbee 2462446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I preferred pants because the feeling of my thighs rubbing together was horrid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462436 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 19:19:14 +0000 MrsADS 2462436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! South Florida... August... pants were hell! Anything felt super tight on my belly. I wore really stretchy workout shorts, or some soft jersey skirts all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462324 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 17:00:24 +0000 sapphire 2462324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I mostly wore full panel maternity slacks for work and I still found them comfortable until the end. I did wear dresses too but pants were essential on extra cold days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462314 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:54:11 +0000 LindsayLou 2462314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave up on real pants entirely by 30 weeks. After that, I wore dresses, and dresses with leggings nearly every day. I had two pairs of underbelly maternity shorts I could wear right up to the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462289 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:22:28 +0000 gingerbebe 2462289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap jersey fold over long skirt with warm fuzzy socks. Long cardigan and coat over the top. Makes me look like a super conservative lady, but it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462287 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:20:28 +0000 Greentea 2462287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only worn leggings (with a skirt or dress) this entire pregnancy. Asos are super comfortable and there is no tightness or tugging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462283 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:17:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2462283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not saying these are the most stylish, but these cotton yoga pants from target are so comfortable. I have a pair I bought while pregnant with my 2.5 year old and I have been wearing them since, pregnant and not (they are from the juniors department). Really easy to get on and off at the end. I actually wore them to the hospital when I had G.<br /> <a href="http://m.target.com/p/yoga-pant-mossimo-supply-co/-/A-15726403" rel="nofollow">http://m.target.com/p/yoga-pant-mossimo-supply-co/-/A-15726403</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462277 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:13:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 2462277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my summer baby, definitely. Dresses or loose workout shorts only at the end. </p> <p>For my December baby, nope. Too cold for anything else. But it was the same few pairs of stretched out cotton yoga pants. </p> <p>@BlueWolverine: I agree, leggings are kind of a pain! Yoga pants were much easier, especially to get off since they don't tug at the ankles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462275 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:11:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2462275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 31 weeks and mat jeans have a short shelf life once on. Leggings are still comfy though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462273 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:10:13 +0000 Autumnmama79 2462273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabolt: I feel you on the over belly constraint. Its not comfortable to have something pressing on the belly all day long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462271 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:09:42 +0000 BlueWolverine 2462271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 weeks here...I actually find it easier to put on jeans/work pants. Leggins (which I'm wearing now and fought with this morning) involve to much bending and tugging. I like a nice "just hitch that leg high enough to get it in and done" type of pants. Underwear are a pain in the ass right now too. Due to my scheduled c-section, at least I know that I have, at most, nine more weeks from today to know that, yes, the pants struggle is real. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462270 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:09:31 +0000 Autumnmama79 2462270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: Its been leggings only since about 25 weeks and now even they are a struggle. Maybe I just need a different approach? I could try lying down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462267 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:07:52 +0000 Autumnmama79 2462267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Me3: OMG yes. I'm having this problem too. For the life of me cannot find any comfortable underwear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462266 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:07:05 +0000 Me3 2462266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maxi dresses! I did not give up on pants but I did have to give up on . . . underwear. I just could not make it work without being supremely uncomfortable, and by the end of my pregnancy I was not willing to be any more uncomfortable than I absolutely had to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-up-on-pants#post-2462265 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:06:25 +0000 raspberries 2462265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - leggings from 30 weeks on! </p>
