Did you have to wear maternity clothes sooner with your second or higher pregnancy?

I know this question has been asked before, but I think it's fun and never gets old! Did you start wearing maternity clothes with your second or third (etc.) pregnancy sooner than you did with your first?

With my first I didn't show until 5 months, with my second I was 3.5 months and now with the third I'm almost 9 weeks and can't button my pants. I wonder if I'll start to pop out sooner this time.

haha yes Nicole! I completely popped last week! Even my husband was like whoa!! You popped out over night. lol And yes, I am starting to not be able to see my feet and it's getting harder to shave my legs!!
I used the rubber band trick as well, never tried a belly band, but thinking of getting one. I have the same issue, pants (unless they are sweatpants) just will NOT stay up. I thought I was the only one. lol Suspenders sounds like a great idea! haha

Well when you did start to show you must have really popped! I saw your picture on fb of the view from above. Say goodbye to your feet ;-)

I've been doing the rubber band trick with my tighter jeans for the last week, but today even my bigger jeans didn't button. Well they button when I stand up, but cut into my belly so much it hurts when I sit down.

Speaking of maternity pants, the rubber band trick, and the belly band do any of them stay up?? I always have the worst time getting my pants to stay up when I'm pregnant it's like I need suspenders.

My 1st pregnancy was mc, 2nd was full term and started wearing maternity clothes at about 13 wks which is early but not terrible. 3rd preg was another mc and now I am 24 wks with 4th preg. This preg I was showing and in maternity clothes at 9 wks. I thought it was just cause of the meds and IUI injections but who knows!!!

For some reason with my first I started wearing maternity clothes sooner than with my 2nd and this one. I think around 10-12 weeks I had to get new pants.  With my second, I didn't have to wear maternity clothes until I was 22-24 weeks. With this one, I am just now starting to wear maternity clothes at 23 weeks. Strange! And I started out small with my first, so I was surprised. But he was a big boy, so maybe that's why!

Funny you ask that cause i just got dressed and found i had to wear a belly band to hide the fact i have a hairtie through the loop of my jeans then looped around the button...
I cant find the style maternity jeans anywhere and have been wearing shorts but its cold and raining today so im going to be so uncomfy..
This is my 4th pregnancy , second thats made this far but even with the other i was still showing heaps at 12 weeks..
