I voted 8 weeks, but it might have been closer to 10 weeks.
Around 3 months.
I never stopped :laugh: Seriously, though. I was pregnant three months PP and was wearing my small maternity jeans at that point still. But in terms of when did I actually start showing? By 10 weeks compared to 16ish with my first.
I didn't really wear maternity clothes until pretty close to the end, but I did get a maternity dress and jeans around 5 1/2 to 6 months. I pretty much stuck to elastic-waist or drawstring skirts and Old Navy t-shirts. With my 3rd (current) I bought maternity jeans around 22 weeks, but I think I'm carrying lower this time too. I was in maternity clothes the earliest with my first, believe it or not.
I voted 8 weeks, but it was somewhere between 8-12.
I'd say maternity pants were a must by 12 weeks. Up until then I just used a belly band or did the rubber band trick. And I'm still wearing a lot of non-maternity shirts - but only my longer shirts.
Wow! Everyone seems to wear them pretty early second time around. I better get me maternity teaching clothes in check quickly!!!
8 weeks!! I popped out right away!
I started by 6-8 weeks, mostly because my regular pants not fitting was one of my clues that spurred me to test. I bloated pretty quickly and my pants were all pretty uncomfortable in my standard wardrobe. Shirts I have worn mostly regular shirts the whole time, mostly because I couldn't afford to spend so much on maternity shirts being as big as I am. I did buy a few new shirts in a size larger than normal to carry me through end of summer/fall. But - since I was able to quit working in April, my daily uniform has mostly been nursing tanks and yoga pants, so yeah...LOL...that's all that's been super comfy for me.
Think the second time I was into some of mine around the 8-9 week mark!!
Wow. I'm 7 weeks, so I feel like I'd better brace for the change into maternity clothes soon!
Around 8 weeks but until about 20 weeks I was still able to wear my own pants.
that's great!!!!!Quote:
