Ok, I found some really cute jeans the other day. This isn't SO bad.

Thorn...where's your fav place to find stuff? I need to improve my maternity wardrobe, then maybe I'd be more excited about it. Right now I haven't even pulled the boxes out yet. I've never ever shown this soon. I think it must just be bloating.

I have gained 7 lbs but everything fits just fine, just a little tighter in the bum
I should be able to stay out for about 14-16 weeks hopefully

Actually, I am having dh bring up the trunk with the maternity clothes this weekend. Between what I am sure is a ton of weight gain and the bloating from the fertility drugs, I am well out of all my regular clothes.

Sarah0404, have you tried Goodwill for maternity clothes? I found some really nice stuff there last time - one dress from Motherhood maternity that I think I paid six dollars for and wore a ton, and a couple pair of shorts that were only two or three dollars each. I also checked out every thrift store I passed to see if they had a maternity rack. I scored some nice inexpensive clothes that way.

I don't have a lot of money, so I had a quick look around ebay for some more things to wear. But nothing really jumped out at me. It was all just random things and i don't really know what I want to wear. Plus they're not all that cheap for second hand clothes, by the time you've added the postage costs. I have some maternity patterns, but they're all kind of frumpy. Vogue has a nice one, but it uses stretch knits, and they are kind of hard to find locally.

I need to find something more to wear or I will go mad! Usually I don't wear maternity stuff till 5 or 6 months, but today I have put on my too big pair of jeans and found I had to unbutton them! I don't feel like I look pregnant. Just plump.

I went to Gap today and got 3 pairs of pants and 2 t-shirts off the clearance rack for $32.00.

pregnancy clothes are going to be one of my biggest drags. Last time around I had a very laid back job and just wore sweatpants and tshirts. I had a couple cute outfits for going out and that was that.

This time around I'll be having to dress up for work. I JUST got the job last week, and my closet is very "mommish" so I need to buy work clothes now, and then later. : that's double the expense.

I pulled out one maternity item as I'm already poochy. My jeans had been fitting "just right". Then I washed them and I'm not even going to try and stretch them out now that I'm pg. So I pulled out a pair of maternity cargos a friend gave me. Those should last me a couple of weeks.

I'm going to have a hard time this time because everything from my last two pg's will be too big. I lost a lot of weight last year. A friend of mine gave me a TON of clothes but she was due in April and of course the seasons won't match up with how big I am. So we'll see. I'm a pretty simple gal though. I won't have to buy much. Dreading summer though. I'm going to miserable!!

I'm dying over here with bloating.. Thought I was almost 10 weeks pregnant until yesterday... realized I was only 6 weeks 5 days.. and now I'm feeling even more bloated... Im huge!!

The worst part about wearing maternity clothes now is that people are like "when are you due?" and they look at you with the strangest face when you tell them the truth... Ugh.. I just wanna yell at them "I'M PREGNANT AND HORMONAL AND BLOATED... SO BACK OFF!!!!"

But I dont.

I am just as excited, but I can wait to switch my closet out. : With my first I didn't need maternity clothes until month 7. Month 5 with my others. I don't think I'll be so lucky this time. The baby is just a bean at this point, so it's not like I'll be getting big anytime soon, but gosh, bloating. I've never bloated like this before.

Anyone else bloated? I hope it goes down. I'm keeping my reg. clothes!!

well i can't wait to wear maternity clothes again. I found great stuff when I was expecting my last, at an online place called Coming Soon Maternity. (the site is http://www.csmaternity.com it think?) It's a little high end though.
