Maternity Clothes and Baby Bumps

[isntsure]

When did you start wearing maternity clothes and when did you start showing? Was it your first pregnancy? Was the bump only noticable to you or could others notice it through your clothes?

Oops, post too fast.
So ya, hair tie trick stop working around 3 months. And my belly really balloon up after 20 weeks. Maternity leggings work wonder now at 30 weeks, all I need is pair them with a loose top or dress. Barely spend much on maternity clothes so far, patting myself on the back ^_^

First time mom here too. I switch to sport bra right from the beginning because my breast were so tender. Pick up a couple of maternity jean around 3 months when all my old jeans got too tight and the hair tie trick doesn't work znym

I'm 7 weeks 2 days ... obviously not showing a numb yet lol but have gained fat weight. Still look and feel very bloated on top of all that.

With my first I gained a little fat weight but didn't actually look pregnant until about five.months, Thad when I got.maternity clothes, mainly pants I usually just worse my husband's t-shirts unless we.were.going out in which case I bought a.few shirts. I worked in a daycare so t-shirts.were.awesome.for.me. with my second and this one I started showing sooner cause they say after your first your uterus knows what its doing already and gets big faster.

This is my first, to everyone else I didn't start showing til about 22 weeks, maybe a little bit after that. I personally didn't buy maternity clothes, in the first trimester I was real bloated so didn't fit in my jeans, but I've been wearing sweatpants and yoga pants since then. Only my shirts I'd hafts get those long ones cos my reg ones are way to small lol. Since spring / summer is conning, it's Gona be a lot of shorts and sundresses :) I'm 26+3 now btw

I didn't need to buy any til 33 weeks. I am almost 37 weeks and can still fit in my regular clothes, but the maternity clothes are much more comfy. The only thing about the maternity jeans I got, they are size small and they still don't fit. My butt is too small to hold them up lol so I really jus wear leggings

I haven't gotten any pants just been wearing yoga pants. At around 18 weeks I got some shirts. I'm now 24 weeks, I'm still after to wear regular shirts I just got long ones. I might break down and get jeans only cause I'm a little tired of wearing yoga pants

Oh I'm 17 Weeks 4 days

I gave in and bought a pair this weekend... I really needed work pants, actually still need a few more pairs but they are just sooo expensive. All my others are so tight. I barely have a bump but I'm thinking I didn't have any room to grow in my old ones.

I'm in maternity clothes now and have been since 8 weeks. I'm on baby #3 and its very obvious that Im pregnant even tho Im only 12 weeks. I'm only 115lbs and I've already gained 10 pounds. Seems like a lot but the Dr told me its not enough. I have to eat almost non stop.  I'm thin enough that my BF can feel the baby move let alone me for the last three weeks. So my regular clothes didn't hid the bump. I can't even cover my tummy with my regular shirts. Even need maternity shirts already. Lol

I didnt put money into maternity clothes im 28wks I wear shirts that flare at the bottom, tee shirts, jogging pants and capris but I mainly wear sun dresses some r sleeveless some r knee length or long. I started showing around 16wks I think

[MissJLJ]

this is my second pregnancy technically cause first ended in early miscarriage. But its my first for experiencing everything lol. I started showing around 12 weeks (only noticeable to me) and by 16 weeks others could see a lil bump. I bought maternity clothes around 14 weeks i think, but even now at 22 weeks i can still fit in my normal Jeans, my shirts are just getting a lil shorter lol. My bump is noticeable now through my clothes.

I broke down & bought some on Sunday, I am 16+2 today with my 3rd. It looks more like a bump now, when I was wearing my reg clothes I just looked fat

[RippedonScotch]

This is my first and I bought maternity pants after 3 months just because they were more comfy.  My other ones fit but weren't as comfy to me.  I started showing just after 4months I think... but I feel that he got big fast.  it was like everything resituated itself to that area.  I have only gained 18lbs and I'm 36 wks now so I think I'm doing fairly well.
