My due date is tomorrow and I was still able to wear my regular jeans today. I've been wearing a lot of yoga pants and around 25 weeks I bought a couple of maternity pants by other than that I just bought a bunch of loose tops a size or two bigger.

My best advice is to buy nursing bras & nursing clothes instead of maternity. I plan to breastfeed for a year so they're necessary for me.

There's no such thing as too early to buy maternity clothes. If you need them buy them!!!

I bought dresses for that time. I don't know what state you live in though, I'm in Daytona Beach, FL so wearing dresses at this time isn't bad but if you're up north you can always get some warm leggings and a sweater dress. That way you still feel stylish without being uncomfortable.

I never bought new clothes, I just wear yogas, sweats, and leggings lol. I gave up on jeans at 8 weeks cuz they were super uncomfortable! As for shirts, Im 22 weeks so I wear long shirts so it covers my belly. But if you have to buy new clothes I suggest going to a used clothes store, so you're not spending tons of money on clothes you're not gonna wear after pregnancy.

I dont have a baby bump but im spreading out i have gotten extremely wide. I brought yoga pants 2 sizes up to fit until im abt 7mnths and leggings with XL maternity tops im usualy a size medium ****. Just to hold me over till this baby makes its appereance. Im 20weeks by the way and couldnt fit my jeans since i was 14weeks and i was told by my dr not to wear belts due to complications earlier in my pregnancy:/

My belly band was the best thing I got for Christmas when I was pregnant with my son. I wore all my regular clothes until the day I popped. They sell them at target and online at motherhood maternity. Definitely worth it!!!

I've just been borrowing clothes from friends and family. and using a rubber band to fasten my jeans instead of the button. OH, and sweat pants. if i can get away with wearing them where i'm going, i do.
