Losing Figure...didn't know it would happen now

so went shopping today thinking to get some new things from Express and Old Navy. I normally wear a Small Shirt and a 6 pants! Today I had to get a freaking 10!! I almost had a break down in the dressing room. I'm 18.5...and I fit my clothes this week for work. I just am not ready to buy maternity clothes!!! Has anyone felt this way?

Yes im 7 months even my maternity clothes are more snug!. Since summer is around the corner i invested in some dresses they seem to be the most comfortable. No belly band and stretches with your body. I used to love my figure also. I used to wear belly shirts, skirts, you name it. But this is motherhood. Our life is just starting to change for our little ones. I do plan on getting my body back after baby but rifht now im trying to enjoy this cause ir wont last for long :)

Just wait till your closer to the end. your belly will literally pop at 7-8 months. I went shopping for a dress for maternity picts and almost ended up crying ;( I used to love my figure and now I feel like a huge whale. Makes me feel better when I go out and see other women not pregnant and bigger than me. We got to embrace it !

Its worse when u bring 5 outfits to the dressing room and u cant fit any of them.  Its like wtf!!!! When did my body get this big. I went from a size 4 to a size 10 by 16 weeks.  My size 10 lasted until 20 weeks.  Tummy was to round to fit normal pants.

Its an adjustment.  Better to buy maternity clothes now and be comfortable than waste money on clothes you can wear for two weeks.  Your body grows rapid after 6months.
