I'm only 7 weeks in with #2 but this bloating is making me look 5 mo pregnant! Ugh... I wear a uniform at work and can switch to maternity once I do y fit anymore and I soooo want to but I also feel like its too early. Am I crazy? Do I cave and switch or see if the bloat subsides?
-
I'm always in maternity pants by 8 weeks
comfy FTW
-
Yep I wore them the second time at 7 weeks. It felt soooo much better when I did. My belly was so big my OB thought I might be having twins. Only one baby and now at 15 weeks I look more proportionate!
-
Go for comfort!
-
I switched to maternity pants at 7 weeks with #2 even though I didn't pop until last month (26 weeks or so). Why not be comfortable?
-
You have to buy them anyway, might as well wear them as long as you can! I think I started wearing them around 12 weeks?
-
I switched to maternity leggings this time around 9-10 weeks I think. Then got pants at about 12 weeks. I'm all about comfort right now!
Last time I used regular cheap leggings from forever21 the whole way through just about.
-
I have been wearing maternity pants since week 7 with #2 as well!
-
I am switching to maternity pants next week (9.5 ish weeks) but I've been thinking about it since I got my BFP. I like maternity pants!!
-
@Mrs Hedgehog: Go get some! The worst that can happen is you use them longer and get your money's worth
I am 8+2 today and I finally caved and bought some black work pants and jeans. I had never really looked closely at maternity pants before - I cannot believe how stretchy and awesome these are! Haha!
-
Anyone have any recommendations for tall maternity pants? I've looked at gap so far, but they seem to have terrible rebiews. I want to jump on the comfort train asap!!
-
I'm out of my regular jeans, but not into maternity yet - so currently wearing thick ponte leggings with a nice stretchy elastic waist.
-
@peaches1038: I was happy with the gap jeans last time but that was 4 years ago. This time I got the regular old navy maternity jeans and they were long enough. How tall are you?
-
@MamaCate: 5'9" so not super tall, just tall enough that regular pants are too short! Inthink I'll order some from ON and gap and see what I think.
-
@peaches1038: I am 6' and was pleasantly surprised by the length at old navy. Plus the price is a lot better. I can wear jeans to work so I never bothered getting other pants.
-
Totally agree with PP, do it! There's no point in being uncomfortable. You'll just get more wear out of them, which considering how much they cost for something you only wear a few months, is definitely a good thing.
-
@peaches1038: I have a 35" inseam and have been a big fan of the gap long and lean long jeans and their long khakis....and some dress pants from Isabella Oliver and RG maternity!
-
I'm 7 weeks today and started wearing maternity capris this weekend. I was going to wait, but I was having constant indigestion from ill fitting bras and too tight pants. For some reason, Bella Bands just kind of bunch up on me or need a bunch of adjusting. Comfort is a necessity when trying to keep up with my toddler!
-
@Peaches1038 I got a pair of tall maternity jeans at Destination Maternity (actually their outlet store) - I think they are owned by Motherhood/Pea in the Pod/ etc. They were on clearance so I got them for $12!!! They fit pretty good, too - I am 5'9'' as well.
-
I'd go for it at 6 weeks!
-
Go for it! I was in them by 9 weeks last time and 7-8 weeks this time!
-
Wear what makes you feel best! I looked noticeably pregnant by 6 weeks my second time, I swear!
-
@Chaosmaven: I tried the bella band, and it bunches up and my jeans zip sticks out at an odd angle. might work better further along I think.
-
I wear a lot of leggings, and I had to switch out of my tightest pairs by 7 weeks.
comfy FTW
