Around 20 weeks I started to wear the jeans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-850634 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 09:06:48 +0000 prettylizy 850634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10-12 weeks. I could still wear other pants but the stretchy jeans were sooooooo comfy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-850627 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 09:04:32 +0000 lawbee11 850627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-850622 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 09:02:59 +0000 bunnylove08 850622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>beginning of 2nd trimester </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-850603 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:57:30 +0000 Smurfette 850603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was 9 weeks or so. I didn't really like the belly band and the bloat was getting to uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-850497 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:25:24 +0000 Alivoo01 850497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14/15 weeks? They're pretty darn comfy and help accentuate your bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-850342 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 07:26:58 +0000 LazyLightning 850342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks! NO SHAME. I was sick for well in to the second trimester and any kind of waist made me feel like it was pushing food up out of my stomach. Even demi low panel. Full panel pants were the trick. I say if it feels good do it. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-850339 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 07:25:25 +0000 kjpugs 850339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think about 4 months? Some things like paneled skirts, I could wear earlier. But pants are hard to stay up without the belly so those were later for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-850331 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 07:22:33 +0000 Adira 850331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started wearing a belly band around 11 weeks I think, and then the normal maternity pants around 20 weeks. Sooooooo much more comfortable! And I'm still wearing them now... 14 weeks postpartum... ooops. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849590 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:18:58 +0000 heffalump 849590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried them on at 12 weeks because normal pants are uncomfortable, but they were still too big on the belly. I probably stretched them out too much in my last pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849580 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:15:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 849580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I can't believe all the people who could wait so long to wear them. The bloating was so bad for me that I had to wear them around 10 weeks I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849575 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:12:16 +0000 Sadieloo 849575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 20 weeks. So much more comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849535 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:59:28 +0000 GrapeCrush 849535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 14-15 weeks with #1 and well....I was still wearing some when I got pregnant with #2....so immediately haha I never lost all the baby weight from #1 and got pregnant at 6 months pp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849510 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:54:30 +0000 sslm 849510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 11 weeks when my pants stopped fitting. I figured I might as well!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849489 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:48:56 +0000 Mrsbells 849489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 20 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849462 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:41:45 +0000 Charm54 849462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was 14-15 weeks. I probably could have gotten away with the hair elastic trick for a few more weeks but maternity clothes were soooo comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849455 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:39:48 +0000 mamabolt 849455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 20 weeks! Once I started I didn't know why I held off so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849449 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:38:40 +0000 MrsH 849449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably next week. Argh my pants hurt so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849327 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:03:13 +0000 Pepper 849327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started wearing the demi panels around 11-12 weeks. They were so comfortable compared to my regular pants... I say give in whenever they fit well enough :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849310 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:55:10 +0000 JessKas 849310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around week 12. I have a short torso and my jeans didn't fit pretty quickly! I also didn't really like the belly band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849227 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:33:03 +0000 sotofamilia 849227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 13 weeks - but I was a bigger girl to start with and they were really comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849193 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:21:10 +0000 Lindsay05 849193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as I bought my first pair of pants last pregnancy at 11 weeks I put them on and never looked back! The jeans are actually very stylish and wore them a lot postpartum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849189 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:19:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 849189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 14 weeks or so? Like @MapleMoose: I really couldn't handle anything squeezing my stomach. It was still all bloat, not bump, but it was so much more comfortable than my unbuttoned regular jeans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849185 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:17:10 +0000 MapleMoose 849185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 15 weeks. I couldn't handle pressure on my stomach, I'd feel sick, so I busted out the maternity pants and am glad I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849177 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:14:57 +0000 singingbee 849177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9-10 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849172 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:13:18 +0000 deerylou 849172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started alternating between paneled pants, and regular pants about 16 weeks in. I was so over the god damn hair tie trick by week 20, so I just gave up, entirely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849159 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:08:28 +0000 mizjl 849159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until 26-27 weeks for me, and even then, I didn't really have to - I was just going to a buffet for dinner and wanted to be comfortable. :)</p> <p>I say wear them as early as you want so you can get a lot of use out of them. If I had known how much I'd love wearing them, I would've started wearing them much sooner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849156 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:07:52 +0000 Bookish 849156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I think I was all of 9-10 weeks :p I got bloated pretty darn fast... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849144 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:04:00 +0000 autumnlove 849144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 15 weeks with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-paneled-pants#post-849073 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:46:16 +0000 avivoca 849073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nine weeks. I had one pair of work pants that fit, so I busted out the maternity slacks. It was really cold that week and my regular pants were patterned, so there was no way I could get away with he same pair five days in a row. </p>
