With LO1 any waist band drove me crazy from day one. With LO2 is wasn't such a big deal until a little later. Also, I just had things already so that was helpful, maybe I just paid less attention to the transition. There are more "non maternity" things I have continued to wear this time, but that's because a lot of my summer clothing is WAY more accommodating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613833 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 09:23:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2613833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh for sure. And I know b/c I'm pregnant this time only a month later than last time! I was showing so much sooner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613824 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 09:01:49 +0000 schubr03 2613824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks bees, I will probably try and hold out on buying normal clothes and just purchase maternity clothes in a few weeks (most of my maternity wear from last time in so worn out!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613818 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 08:56:08 +0000 lamariniere 2613818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: This was my experience too. Although, by the time my second came along I was WAH, so I didn't really need to buy dressier work clothes. I just bought a few pieces as needed to round out my wardrobe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613816 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 08:55:39 +0000 skipra 2613816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was definitely in maternity clothes sooner with my second than my first but later with my third than my second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613812 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 08:53:44 +0000 catlady 2613812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely sooner. Even though I am apparently "measuring on track", I feel like I look at least 4 weeks ahead of where I was last time. I did start 5-10 pounds heavier though, so that obviously changes things too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613808 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 08:50:09 +0000 MrsKoala 2613808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I was in them much sooner. I was exclusively in maternity by 16 weeks this time whereas my first pregnancy I didn't need them until 23 or 24 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613799 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 08:42:13 +0000 mamabolt 2613799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore them sooner but more so because I had them and knew they would be more comfortable than squeezing into the non maternity stuff so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613791 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 08:30:43 +0000 ValentineMommy 2613791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Much sooner. Moreso for comfort from bloating, but I was definitely in them during the first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613770 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 08:02:57 +0000 Alivoo01 2613770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in my maternity pants sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613761 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 07:23:26 +0000 Ajsmommy 2613761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in them sooner. I think with LO1 it was around 20 wks or so and this time it was 14 wks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613705 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 21:23:52 +0000 nana87 2613705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I def started showing earlier with this pregnancy, but I also was just more willing to bring out the maternity clothes sooner bc I already had them (lo's birthday is within 2 months of lo2's edd so seasonally similar ) at 17 weeks now I'm almost totally in maternity clothes with the exception of a few more oversized/flowy tops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613704 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 21:23:00 +0000 avivoca 2613704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I was in them sooner! It was crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613703 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 21:21:44 +0000 lilteacherbee 2613703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wearing maternity shirts by 13 weeks and pants around 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613699 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 21:13:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 2613699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone asked my friend if I was pregnant at 8 weeks! </p> <p>So yeah I needed maternity clothes sooner- though as a mom now I have a lot more stretchy clothes anyway (hello yoga pants and leggings). It was a lot sooner that I needed more room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613688 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 20:58:55 +0000 caterw 2613688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't need any maternity clothes until I was 22 weeks with DD1. With this pregnancy I started wearing maternity pants at 10-12 weeks! My regular shirts fit until 16-18 weeks , but I had a definite bump much earlier and I needed stretchy pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes-during-second-pregnancy#post-2613625 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 19:40:01 +0000 schubr03 2613625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to plan my school year wardrobe and was wondering, did you wear maternity clothes earlier in your second pregnancy than your first, or about the same? I can't decide if I should buy a bunch of regular fall/winter clothes, or if I should just buy a few and wait to see if I have to invest in winter maternity clothes. </p>
