I hate maternity clothes.. I think its ugly. I wear bigger sizes and I buy clothes at rue 21 and the clothes look adorable. I don't think you need to dress ugly just BC you're pregnant! Lol some people don't care but u should show off or bump not hide it!

You will definately know when you need to buy them. I had to start wearing maternity clothes at 14 weeks. And just buy a few things to wear so you dont waste too much money.

I started a little early but with maternity pants they should last the whole pregnancy .I'm 17 Weeks now but started like 3 Weeks ago. I wear dresses in the summer, so maternity dresses were great because they expand with the belly and no rubbing!! If you're looking for reasonable maternity clothes try old navy lovee them !!

Before you're clothes get to tight. So you're not running around at the last minute.

@ brinabear the store I went to did it that way so it was easier to find out what size you wore. It was the same size, just maternity. But I did end up outgrowing my jeans after 3 months

So, in the US, when you are a size 6 regularly, you would be a size 6 in maternity? I'm still confused..

With my first I was in maternity clothes by the end of my first trimester, my second I was able to wait till the end of my second trimester and with my last I didn't end up needing any maternity clothes so I'd definitely wait it out as buy as needed because every person and every bump is different.

Here in the US it's the same size you wear, but in maternity so I would guess it's the same there? I wear a 11 so I wear an 11 maternity

My entire pregnancy I only bought 2 pairs if maternity jeans ( which I outgrew in 3 months) and a pair of maternity shorts. The rest of the time I was in sweats and big t shirts. It was ok for me since I worked in a factory and it was more about comfort than style lol

My advice would be to only buy as you need because noone knows how big their bump will get. I found that buying new maternity clothes when things started to feel a bit snug rather than buying loads that I possibly wouldn't wear long saved me a lot of money and hassle with returning things :)
