When to start wearing maternity clothes?


For the past couple of weeks I have had to wear my maternity pants for work. I can sill fit into my jeans because they are a little stretchy? I haven't broken down and started wearing some of my maternity shirts. I can still wear some but most of my work shirts are not fitting good now. I kept having to pull down my shirt today and yesterday to cover my belly. I am starting to show pretty good now. Is it weird to start wearing maternity stuff at 16 weeks? I almost need to now.

I don't think so. I've started to wear my maternity pants sometimes, mostly because they are more comfortable. Probably another 2 weeks and I will need to wear my maternity clothes all the time.

I wear my maternity clothes because they are more comfortable to me. I've been wearing them to work for about a week now.

I had trouble fitting into my jeans almost right away. By 10 weeks I had given up and bought a pair of maternity jeans. I am headed to a maternity shop tomorrow for more trousers. I am fine with the tops I have, but NO way on the bottoms.

I think by 11-12 weeks my jeans and suit pants were tight. I basically wore sweats for a little while. Then I bought a couple pairs of pants probably around 13-14 weeks and have been in them since. Whenever you need to start wearing them is when its right for you. Have fun shopping!!

I was just over 20 weeks when I first started. As Tilly said, It dosent matter when you need to start wearing them its entirely down to you, Every ones bump is different shapes and sizes and some need them earlier than others, its you that needs to be comfortable. X

A couple of weeks ago I bought some jeans two sizes bigger than usual.
I can't afford to go buying the maternity clothes so I'm going to 'diy' these jeans when I get a bit bigger.
I've also got a couple of maternity patterns that I might have a go at!
But I refuse to spend loads of money on clothes I'll only wear for a few months!
