Are you wearing 'em yet?

[thedevinemissm]

Yup, I feel like a FOOL! :LOL

I am already wearing maternity clothes. I know everyone says you show faster w/#2+, but still. I'm 8 weeks. I can't wear my regular clothes & I REFUSE to buy *in-between* outfits. I can't afford it on my SAHM salary. :LOL

Has anyone else crossed over yet?

[Lula's Mom]

Not yet! I started exercising a few weeks before I got pregnant, and my butt has gotten smaller... so I'm actually fitting in my regular clothes *better* than usual right now! But I think my stomach might be getting a little bigger. Thank goodness for low-rise pants. :LOL

[Larissa]

I have pulled out all of my maternity clothes, and sorted them by what I will need this summer...and what I will need later in the fall. I have washed everything too. I am ready for them...when I need them, but I really don't need them at all yet. It will likely be a few more weeks before I will need them.

[laurata]

Not yet!

But I am wearing my bigger clothes fairly consistently. I'd like to just avoid maternity clothes this summer, and stick with flowing sundresses and soft, stretchy cotton shorts. I hate having fabric on my belly when pregnant.

[KoalaMommy]

I am dangerously close to "crossing over" at 8 weeks. I know I shouldn't be. My first problem is that I've gained weight since I got married last year, and NONE of my late spring/summer clothes fit me right now, but that's not all of it. I've always had TINY hips, like only 5 inches larger than my waist, but now not even elastic waist skirts fit over them, it's bad!!! And I'm sorry, but the belly has grown. As if to prove the point, I've actually lost 5 lbs since I got preggers, but my waist and hips are bigger. I spent 45 minutes this morning trying to figure out what I was going to wear to work!!!!!! All this and I'm trying really hard to keep it a secret at work until 13 weeks. I did fortunately buy a few things that are maternity but don't look maternity, and I have 2 dresses and 2 pairs of pants that still fit me, but I'm going to be wearing the same 5 outfits every week for the next 5 weeks. At home I go around in maternity clothes because they're just more comfortable. This is my first baby, but I'm really short, so maybe that's why, I don't know. My mom swears she didn't show until she was 7 months with her first and she's shorter than I am.

I wore them at 6 weeks, (!) but I was determined NOT to wear them, so I bought in between clothes, which need to be hemmed, so now I am wearing rolled-up jeans. I don't know which is nerdy-er now.

[storeimy]

Oh yeah. I'm wearing them. I'm pg with my third and my belly has popped out already! It's unbelievable really. I just find regular clothing too restrictive right now. I need to breathe-so I'm letting it all hang out.

[Changed]

I got you all beat~ I'm already in them at 4.5 weeks!!! I just don't care. This is my 4th pregnancy and 3rd baby and every muscle has given out. HAven't gained any weight but somehow nithing fits at all. I usually wear pretty form fitting clothes though. I bough some great motherhood capri overalls and am in heaven. They don't make me wanna yak like having the pressure jeans does. I am one of the stange people who LOVE maternity clothes anyway. The sooner the better IMO.

[Ravenmoon]

6th pregnancy and 4th child here and i could easily pass for 4 months pregnant at 4 weeks along.I'm still wearing my normal pants but they are unbuttoned as i sit here i have also been working out a lot in the past few months so that is helping.

[Changed]

Ok, You have me beat. But, Since I'm a chubby anyway, I could probably pass for 4-5 months. Is that 4 months of a 1st pregnancy or sub? We all know after the first it all gives out alot sooner.LOL!

Wanna try something funny? Try to suck in your stomach. LOL!! I can't do It! Not sure why but I absolutlely can not suck it in right now. I feels just wrong to even try... I got a good laugh out of that considering I wansn't in maternity with my 1st until 61/2 months. :LOL

[taradt]

i am so happy i am not alone at 4 weeks i have had to move into my transition pants and i am looking into nice low rise capris to get me through the next few months.
with my first i didn't show until right before she was born (granted she was 5 weeks early) up until the week or so before i just looked fat sigh...
the second pregnancy i was showing by the second month.
this time i swear i looked 3 months pregnant as soon as those two lines showed on the test ;-p

[Jenb]

I'm not, but I can't wait to! Maternity clothes are SO comfy!
I probably will be in them in another month.
4th baby, and 0 muscle tone:LOL

[Jessviola]

this is so funny because i was just checking out websites trying to find a good pair of low-rise no panel stretchy top maternity jeans because my normal ones are too tight. my hips are already expanding! that happened to me pretty early last time too, but not for a couple months. anyways, i definately don't want to spend the summer in panels, which all my old maternity clothes have so i'm looking for something that isn't obvious. plus i love low rise normally and always hated those panels, they made the shirts stick funny. i'm also hoping to find some peasant shirts and stretchy skirts to get me through the summer. i can't wait until i'm really showing, but we haven't told anyone except MIL in chile yet.

[taradt]

i have been eyeing the gap low rise panel less capris and shorts. they have them on ebay but they are a bit pricey. i am trying to justify if it is the only thing i have to buy this pregnancy

tara

[Changed]

If you decide to get gap, know tht it runs huge!~ I am a size 14 and bought a pair of X-large shorts and they were HUGE! I wear XL in motherhood but these XL were like 5X. I reordered and get a medium and they are still a bit big.

[taradt]

:LOL there's another reason to go with the gap ones

[Jenelle]

Well... I'm not in "maternity" clothes yet, but I am buying some more comfy stuff. I was on the road to gaining weight before I found out I was pregnant, and now I know I'm just going to keep gaining, so there's no way I'm trying to stuff myself into most of my pants! If I keep eating the way I am, I will be into the maternity clothes before long...

[Changed]

MAYBE THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA? I did that one time Janelle. Try to find a good balanced diet, it's hard but we have to tell ourselves that pigging out is not excusable because we are pregnant. OK, now I need to repeat that to myseld every 5 minutes. lol~~

[Jenelle]

Angela, I guess maybe that sounded worse than it really is. I have been working my way back up from 107 pounds! I was on a very strict Candida diet for about a year, which included LOTS of veggies... we are now eating veggies that I had never even heard of! And no sugar, wheat, or dairy... So my diet is MUCH more balanced than it was with #1. But when you go off of a program that strict and start eating out again, etc. - you're bound to gain some weight back! But thanks for your concern.

[lauren]

I'm not in them yet even though this is my third. I'm mostly just bloated at night, so when I get home from work I change right away to some big elastic waist old pants and breathe. My jeans are getting very tight, but not impossible yet. Won't be long I'm sure!
