When to go to maternity clothes?

[Brittny27]

I am 11wks today. For the last few weeks I have only been able to wear one pair of my jeans comfortably. I have been wearing jeans to my hotel job which I'm suppose to be wearing dress pants. I went out yesterday and bought a pair of maternity slacks. I had a few pairs but they were to big to wear just yet. I've been wearing belly bands with a few pairs of jeans but they are starting to get uncomfortable also. I live in my PJ pants when I'm at home.

When did you all get into maternity clothes. I keep hearing that most women don't start wearing maternity clothing till 6-7 months.

I had to go buy new bras again yesterday also. I was at Victoria Secrets and I walked up to the counter and the lady was very obviously pregnant. I said "You probably know exactly what I'm going through this is the second time I've bought bras and I'm only 10wks"  She replied by saying she was 7 months and she still hadn't bought any new bras. I was in shock.  I've grown two sizes already! I don't even want to think about how much larger my breasts are going to get before the end and then when my milk comes in and there engorged!

I guess I'm just wondering how much everyone elses boobs grew what size you started out at and how big you ended at?

I was a 36A when I got pregnant two years ago. I grew to 36C in the 12wks. I then misscarried and went down to a 36B where I've stayed the last two years. I have now grown to a 36D in 11 wks!!  My boobs have stopped hurting just still growing.

I am 14 and a half weeks and today I had a small breakdown getting ready for work because the small number of pants that I could wear last week now no longer fit.  I am down to only two pairs of pants that I can get away with. It's amazing how fast things changed.  I will have to go buy some maternity shopping this weekend. I have a feeling that this in between stage will not be fun - but I am not nauseous anymore and I will definitely take having no clothes over that !!!

i finally went out and bought new bras....2 cup sizes i went up and im just about 11 weeks...i have a littleish pouch showing (mostly bloated but prob prev preg helping that too) so im trying to get into dresses asap....jeans are no longer comfy....

So far at 14 weeks (and 3rd baby) the only pants I can't still fit into are my jeans - however I have lost around 13 lbs or so from severe morning sickness!  I'm also overweight to begin with.  I just bought some maternity clothes this weekend and ordered some jeans from motherhood maternity.  
Just beware all, if you start wearing your maternity clothes too soon you will be SO sick of them your last few months!  I'm holding off as long as I can!!!!

I'm 12 weeks, just starting to get an actual belly but mostly just bloated...I still fit in my jeans but their tight, so I live in sweatpants and pjs when I'm home...luckily I live in BC and it's already getting warm so soon I can start wearing dresses!
Two months prior to getting pregnant I came off birth control, and my breasts went down a size, but now that I'm pregnant they went back up that size, so I didn't need to buy new bras! Lol. I still hate them though, the underwire is so uncomfortable so I wear them only when I go out.

I'm now 14wks and finnally made the switch last week to maternity jeans. I have one pair of reg jeans that I can still fit in but get un comfortable after a little while of wearing.

I've bought bras twice so far. I feel like I might be going up another size already which is scary. I'm at a 36D right now.

i put on some weight now and gone up bra sizes..ive been dragging myself in buying new bras but the pain in my breasts is getting horrible and its time...its also time to switch over to maternity pants...i could go buy bigger size jeans but im just gonna move on to maternity...

im a little over 10 weeks and will be wearing maternity for sure in the next 2 weeks

I have gone up 2 dress sizes around the waist, haven't put on weight yet though, and I have been wearing maternity jeans for the last week or so. I'm 11 weeks.

I've gained so much weight all  ready. i cant fit anything :( this is my 7th baby so my tummy is out there. my problem is i cant find maternity clothes to fit me. do any one know where to find plus size maternity clothes?

I am only 9 wks tomorrow.  The last two weeks I have been uncomfortable wearing normal trousers to work but am still squeezing into them.  I have had to buy sports bras as my normal ones just about dont fit but, mainly to wear at night as my boobs are so sore.

I had one of those 30% coupons so that helps too :)

[Brittny27]

I couldn't believe how expensive Kohls was. They were 40% off and still $30 a pair. I didn't buy any there. I bought a few pairs in early January when I just found out because the store I went into had clearanced there Maternity section and they were like $6 a pair. It ***** because that was one of my favorite places to get maternity clothes last time. Which I returned because I found out I miscarried a week after I did all my maternity clothes shopping.
