Every woman is different. I wore my pre pregnancy pants until I was 9 months.
I am 26 week with my third also and have asked myself the same questions. I can still wear all my clothes and up until 24 weeks I didn't even look pregnant. I'm having to wear bigger shirts not but my jeans still fit just like they always have.
I can still fit in pre pregnancy jeans. I'm 25 weeks. I don't button them cuz baby dsnt really like pressure on her. I simply wear a maternity band. I've only gained 7 lbs. Baby is doing good and is about 1lb 4oz. Right on Target. ;0). You will be showing soon enough out of no where.
At 32 weeks now i still wear my pre pregnancy pants (unbuttoned of course) but a couple weeks ago had to go get bigger shirts.... Belly was hanging out ;-)
I feel a little bit better now. I have to have scans every 4 weeks due to an umbilical cord/placenta issue, so if I was a little bigger a little faster I'd have that reassurance in between scans that baby is really growing well. Everything was fine at the last one, but I feel like I am not getting any bigger. I'm happy it's not just me, helps me relax some.
I can still wear some of my pre-pregnacy pants but some I had to get some new jeans. But alot of my shirts I can still wear without an issue.
I'm almost 28 weeks and am still in pre pregnancy jeans :)
I traded my jeans in for yoga pants around 17 weeks. My Jean still fit but they were getting tight and I didn't want to stretch them. Lol. I'm now 25 weeks and can only wear a few pairs of my regular sweats and then just yoga pants.
I am 30 + 4 and I am sitting in my pre-pregnancy sweatpants right now! I stopped wearing my jeans around 15 weeks but just cause I hated the feeling of them on my belly! Maternity shirts I have been wearing since about the same time but I have a ling torso so they r good just in general fir me lol.
U couldn't really "see" I was deff preggers until about 24-25 weeks. It happens when it happens :-) if there was anything wrong your Dr & ultrasound would have caught it so dont let people freak u out.
You must just have strong abdominal muscles which takes longer to stretch and make you look pregnant.
When I was pregnant 7 years ago, I was in maternity clothes at about 15-16 weeks pregnant.
Now I'm almost 11 weeks pregnant, and my regular clothes arent't fitting as well. So I imagine I'll be in maternity clothes at around the same time if not sooner.
Every woman is different and every pregnancy is different.
