What do you think the chances are...

that i'm going to still fit into my clothes at 10-11 weeks gestation? We're going to Florida in a few weeks for a conference/mini-vacation. We'll be there 6 days 7 nights. With my dd I didn't start wearing maternity clothes until I was about 20 weeks, and even then I didn't fill them out (they were just very comfy). My shorts are already feeling just the slightest bit snug (not loose at all, although I haven't gained any weight). Is this just wishful thinking. I really don't want to go buy new shorts that I'll never wear again. I would also feel silly wearing the few pair of maternity shorts I had from dd since I won't really need them yet.

So, do I have any chance of being able to wear my summer clothes next month?

poking in from March!

Honestly, you may, or may not .. *lol* I didn't have to size up on my clothes with DD until about 16 weeks, but it had been 5 years since the previous pregnancy .. This time .. well .. DD's adjusted age is 10mo (otherwise 13mo) and I'm 9 weeks .. the only things i can seem to get into are the things i wore 3-4 mo. postpartum (about 3 sizes up from my regular) I've been living in elastic waisted skirts mainly, lately .. Although I've got some awesome drawstring pants (cotton/linen machine washable capris in like a dark murky green) that i can tie but not button *lol*

my pants and shorts are already feeling snug too. with dd i didn't wear maternity until 20 weeks. i guess it's just that your body remembers pregnancy mode and you start growing sooner. i'm amost 7 weeks. i'm going to get a couple pairs of maternity pants with no panel to wear in the in-between time.

There is usually lots of cheap maternity available in the trading post board. I am not showing/gaining yet @ 7 weeks. I am being SUPER SUPER careful this time around (HA! I say that now after I just ate 2 eggs, potatoes, and toast at 10:20 pm :LOL). Last pregnancy I gained 65 pounds - 20 of which I never took off PP.

ETA: something really gross - my saggy strech marks from the last baby (my love wounds!) are filled out a bit. not for nothing they look much better thank G*d!

Whew! I thought it was just me! I didn't think about anything showing until about 16 weeks with my sone (7 years ago) even though I could feel him moving at 14 and a half! I knew there was a little bump, but my clothes still mostly fit! Now, I am barely five weeks and I swear my pants (the non-stretch ones!) are snug and uncomfortable! I haven't gained a poound! Just inches!

This is my first post here - I finally get to join the club! I was a regular at TTC but gave up and went back to school 18 months ago! We gave it one last shot this summer and poof! YAY!!!!!
