At 6 weeks pregnant w/ #2 I am already sporting a bump/ tons of bloating to the fact that a pair of pants already doesn't fit without doing the elastic band trick! Not sure ill have that many more weeks in normal clothes. How early did you need to dig out your maternity wardrobe?

Like you, when I was newly preggo with #2, I was super bloated and gross that none of my normal clothes fit nicely. But after a couple of weeks, things settled down and I was able to wear my normal clothes again. I started wearing maternity pants at 13 weeks just for the comfort but it wasn't truly needed until about 16-ish weeks.

I usually wear a lot of sun dresses and skirts with an elastic band so I was able to wait it out until 12 weeks. I didn't want people to recognize that I wore these clothes in my last pregnancy and notice I was pregnant.

I think I stopped fitting into my normal pants comfortably around 8 weeks- I still had a few looser pairs I could wear, or I could do the Bella Band thing, but it was as early as 8 weeks or so that I had to ditch most of my normal pants.

I popped super early with my second and got back into maternity clothes around 8 weeks.

I'm 11 weeks now, and still managing to wear my normal clothes. I did have an "omg I'm getting a belly already the world is overrrrrr" fit at 5 or 6 weeks due to bloat, but it calmed down within a week
