I am 10 weeks 1 day and my pants are getting too tight. I have been working out lately and been eating healthier but I feel like its not helping. Was wondering when I should start looking at maternity clothes. Well pants at least!
I hated maternity pants when I was pregnant with my son. Stuff across my stomach used to drive me nuts. I used a hair tie to keep my pants together and just wore maternity shirts. Lol ghetto but effective. And comfy.
I used a hair tie until I couldn't fit into that comfortably anymore which was around 10 wks. I only gained 3 lbs too I was like wtf?! Lol I did use one of those belly band things for awhile but they kept rolling up and were annoying
I never thought about a hair tie! I can button them but when I sit down I have to unbutton them lol. I think I will wait till my belly gets big to get maternity pants.
I just used the hair tie too and also got the be-band at target, 16.99. You can leave your pants unbuttoned and it hides the fact your pants are unbuttoned with the be-band. After I hit about 25 weeks when they started to get tighter I went to Ross and they have very cheap.maternity pants, 9.99:) if you don't have Ross try walmart.com bc with my last pregnancy I ordered from there and they ran about 10.99...only online tho. Target has maternity but can run 35.00 for a pair. Also shirts I found target or Ross isn't too bad price wise. Any kind of store you have in your area Marshalls, Ross, aj Wright, tj maxx are good to check, or call before you go bc they can tell you when they get shipments in, that way you don't waste time:)
I usually just lurk, but I remember the answer to this question being really important to me! I waited until the beginning of the second trimester. Try ebay! I got 5 pairs of pants for $9 plus shipping. Good luck!
I started wearing maternity pants at 16w. However I had pants that use to be my "big" pants like a sz bigger then normal. Try using a pony tail. wrap it around the button then they the hole then loop it around the button again. I did that and still do with my 2 pairs of jeans that still "fit"
I got mine at 12 weeks this pregnancy. I got the ones that look like regular jeans with the stretchy in the back...I'm 32+4 and they still fit perfect lol They're really great for post partum too
@ChristinaLynn that's what I was worried about if I get some now will they fit later!
@babyluv8 yeah I am in my fat pants today lol. I am gonna try the hair band thing though!
@sam505 idk if I could buy pants without trying them on. I am so picky lol. But idk if I get big enough I'm probably not going to care haha.
@sehra4177 I never thought of Ross or tj max or Marshalls! I think after I hit the second tri I'll do some shoppin.
@RTMommy@kayleigh27 Idk if something across my tummy would bother me or not. I always wear camis under my shirts so I am use to something tight so we'll see I guess!
I got two pairs from target but only wore the shorts because the jeans sagged and made me look like i had swamp ass. Or shit my self lol. Btw i have NO ASS. So that was my problem lol. So i ended up buying a bigger size normal jeans and only wore those or dresses. But i also live in florida and had my son in july lol.
A belly band was a life saver for me. I was able to wear my normal pants/shorts unbuttoned! I'm definitely going to find more this time in different colors. Also for shorts in the summer I went to Walmart and got the kind that are stretchy and they worked up until my last weeks!
I love pants, jeans, shorts, etc that has the stretchy material that goes over the tummy. It feels so much better and makes your tummy look better. I know for me, in the beginning, I look more fat than preg and those type pants make me feel better about myself. also, search on Craigslist. I got two black bags full of maternity clothes last year for $40 and they had bathing suits, bras, shorts, etc.
Buy maternity jeans one size bigger than what you are now. I got mine at 3 months and wore them throughout my entire pregnancy. I didn't buy any maternity shirts, my tees and stretchy shirts fit until 8 months then I bought a few 1 size larger.
I have been working out lately and been eating healthier but I feel like its not helping. Was wondering when I should start looking at maternity clothes. Well pants at least!
