I actually went up 1 size first, and then 2 sizes. I'm only 20 weeks so hoping I won't have to go up another.</p> <p>Oh and for me it was my butt and thighs. The normal sized undies just weren't fitting right. They'd ride 'back' throughout the day so the majority of the underwear was behind me and the front was extra tight. Really weird. Most of my undies were actually old anyway, so I threw them away and plan to buy myself nice new ones after baby. Just got some cheap big ones at Target in the mean time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-493248 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 09:43:41 +0000 blackbird 493248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My belly pokes out where the underwear band goes across and it was digging in. I wasn't wearing anything super stretchy by any means, though. And I don't think my butt or hips have gotten wider...neither does DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-493009 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:07:14 +0000 immabeetoo 493009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I didn't gain thAt much weight but my hip bones widened. My body was very accommodating, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492960 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:01:35 +0000 shopaholic 492960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted about this too and needed to go up a size in some brands around 2nd trimester. I've noticed it's mostly boy shorts styles that I needed to go up a size if there was a band or detail on the leg opening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492885 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 23:27:00 +0000 crunch 492885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. The seams kept digging into my sides it was SO annoying. I wish I had those mesh undies they gave out in the hospital. Those were ugly and comfortable =] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492876 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 23:23:02 +0000 Weagle 492876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, and it was so much more comfortable. My normal size fit all the way through, but I didn't want any clothes to touch me more than necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492872 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 23:19:04 +0000 MusicaV 492872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some cheap underwear a size up. Like Mrs. Bee, I'm pretty sure my pre-preg underwear was too small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492785 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:34:23 +0000 lemondrop 492785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, no change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492760 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:20:28 +0000 pl0508 492760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Went up one size and felt like a new woman. Was sooo much more comfy. I just bought cheapies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492690 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:45:43 +0000 aprk 492690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went up just for comfort. I hated the way my regular underwear rolled down under my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492660 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:34:53 +0000 DillonLion 492660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some big cotton granny panties in a size up. I needed them towards the end of my pregnancy for sure and they were great for the post partum period where I was wearing a huge pad every day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492655 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:32:42 +0000 ladyfingers 492655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably. All my underwears are super tight but I'm too cheap/lazy to buy new ones so I just deal with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492596 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:55:25 +0000 MarieJ 492596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went up a size in panties because my butt grew. It was a pleasant change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492530 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:29:37 +0000 mamabolt 492530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I gained in the booty and thighs, had to buy some undies a size up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492321 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 18:18:41 +0000 matador84 492321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...I was swollen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492319 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 18:17:37 +0000 Smurfette 492319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 30 weeks and so far no. Hope it stays that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492299 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 18:11:29 +0000 Jumpingjacks 492299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought maternity undies and found that later in my pregnancy, they were useless. My normal underwear is much higher quality and more stretchy than the maternity. So I outgrew the maternity underwear (mainly the elastic around the thighs became too tight) and I'm still wearing my normal underwear. My advice: Don't waste money on maternity undies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492292 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 18:07:37 +0000 chopsuey 492292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have to go up in size. My underwear is pretty gnarly now that i put them through 2 pregnancies. Slowly throwing them out and going to buy some more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492279 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 18:02:32 +0000 allison 492279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up buying some more lace-waist hiphugger panties from VS as I got bigger. I had a couple pair already, and they were the only ones that were comfortable, eventually. My butt still fits into all my old ones, but the waists are just too uncomfortable. The stretchy lace waist on the VS panties are perfect for a growing bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492171 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:14:21 +0000 smocks 492171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Yeah, I think all my thongs are the Lacie. Best underwear ever. I like Gap normal underwear better than VS though, for some reason. I never bought "maternity" underwear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492167 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:13:13 +0000 tororojo 492167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: No joke! Now if only bra sizes would stay the same... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492149 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:08:32 +0000 Alivoo01 492149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I was thinking the same thing!!! I thought it was the norm to go up a size, so I'm definitely very surprised to see the majority maintaining the same size. Yay for one less maternity item to buy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492144 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:07:46 +0000 hilsy85 492144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some bigger sizes because I thought I would need them, but they just ended up being too big and saggy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492140 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:07:02 +0000 Rescuemom10 492140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am wearing a lot of the same size. I went out and bought some bigger thinking it would be more comfy. About the same. Didnt really need to and 37 weeks now, so dont think that will change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492129 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:03:31 +0000 tororojo 492129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason I was thinking it was really common to go up a size...interesting that most of the responses so far are no! I guess I always assumed I would need bigger ones since they sell maternity panties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492119 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:01:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 492119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes definitely. i think it's just because i was wearing underwear that was too tiny anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492117 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:00:39 +0000 leelee 492117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go up a size but I gained 60 lbs. yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492111 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 16:59:41 +0000 rachiecakes 492111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>probably but I wore VS 'the lacie' and Hanky Panky. They're 'one size fits all', super stretch lace</p> <p>I bought Body by Victoria stretch panties in a size up for those monster PP pads (not to mention a million stitches). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-up-a-size-in-undies-while-pregnant#post-492109 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 16:59:38 +0000 autumnlove 492109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I stayed the same but I had to replace my underwear PP because they got too stretched out! </p>
