Right, so with my son I didn't show like AT ALL until really late. I started out a 10, and wore those pants until I started a new job (unemployed for awhile) at 20w and found my jeans were poking me a bit since I sit all day long pretty much.
I went and bought a pair of size 12 jeans and wore those until 30w when I started wearing maternity clothes offically. I bough ONE pair of gap size 12 maternity because i'd gained like 60lbs by then. Eep.
The size bigger thing was HUGE on me though, and they were falling off and giving me some serious droopy drawers, but since I didn't announce my preg until 25w or so (i'd just been hired!) I needed to wait...
Sorta the same situation now, I don't want to let the bird out of the cage yet, as my boss has TOLD me several times he would fire me if I was pregnant again
My pre-preg jeans (size 8 gap, I love they actually make long enough pants for me now!!) are fitting, but really starting to dig into my non-existant belly when curled up at my desk. I just had to unzip my pants because i was having some painful tummy cramps.
I'm definately not showing yet though, just a little rounder...
(way earlier than last time...lol)
I found and bought a pair of the underbelly gap maternity pants, size 8...from ebay NWT. unfortunately my USPS has decided to play games with me (long story) and they have misplaced my package. Who knows if I will ever get it, or when
I can't fathom paying yet another 20 bucks (I got them cheap!) even, let alone 60 for another pair of size 8 maternity pants...I'm thinking at the least i'll need 10s when I do POP....
the 8s arn't TIGHT, but there isn't a huge ammt of room in the tush and such, and with my son my tush doubled!! (I Loved every minute of it too...teehee)
NO WAY 10s would fit now though, the 8s barely stay on...
I have some bigger pants, 10s and 12 (the pair from my son's preg) but the 10s are snugger in the hips than my current pants for some reason, and won't work....the 12s were huge when I was bigger...so no.
ARRGG...I dunno what to do. I could have worn the size 8s okay....but I don't want to re-buy them, esp since i'll have 2 pair then and I only have 2 pair of my regular non-preg jeans!! I'm cheap!!
*sigh*
The rubberband trick doesn't work well, my pants are low-rise, and I can't go the belly-belt route because I don't have shirts long enough to cover my button, let alone my zipper that arn't obviously maternity...
I'm frustrated...at the end of like 2 days wear I can PULL the 8s off without unbuttoning them, but they are still digging into my little belly (very little) enough to cause cramping even!
