Its seems so long ago but I think I started in maternity clothes around 10wks. But once I was home from work I would always wear baggy joggers so it didn't matter then x
Yeah followed by the heartburn! Don't remember when I started wearing maternity clothes. I remember that one day my jeans felt too tight and I was afraid of hurting baby so I ran out and got maternity jeans but that was all a bought or needed for a couple of months. Oh did wear a lot of hubby
tshirts!
I'm 14 weeks along and have had terrible gas/trapped wind. Personally, I wore leggings and dresses on the badly bloated days, and like candiceandsesame, joggers at home. I started wearing maternity jeans about a week and a half ago and before that I used the trick of looping a hair band through the buttonhole and thrn round the button on my jeans to allow a bit of extra room. Thankfully I also had some clothes that were one size up from before I lost weight before my pregnancy. But everyone is different. Just do what makes you feel comfortable. And eat lots of fruit and veg to keep your bowels moving.
I started to wear maternity clothes at 5-6months but was small in the bump department for a while. There is no rule, when your clothes get tight and uncomfortable, move on.
With my first never needed maternity clothes as the bumps was so small (gave birth at 42 weeks, 7lb 10.5 oz, never went up from size 16 which i was before the pregnancy) second time around by 14 weeks I had gone from size 14 to size 18, by giving birth at 31 weeks was wearing size 22 and the zip and buttons wouldnt do up.
My problem was that its only mothercare around me that sold maternity jeans that suited me and didnt make me look stupid but they were £30 upwards so refused to pay for them and just bought bigger jeans and gave them to a friend who hovers between 20-22, otherwise would have made the change at 14/15 weeks lol xxx
I'm 12 weeks pregnant and also have had gas and bloating from about 7 weeks - that's when I started needing to use the hair band trick mrsb79 mentioned on my jeans too. Not in maternity wear yet though the hair band doesn't really suffice anymore - I have to wear long tops to cover the gaping split where my zip lays completely undone! Still convinced my 'bump' is bloating and not baby. This is my first baby. I believe it's normal to start showing earlier in your next pregnancies...
