I'm.only 6 weeks and already feel and look bloated plus my skinny jeans and jeggings feel tight around waist and prob not helping with feeling I want to pee all the time.
I'm a first time mtb and don't know what clothes best to wear and looking ahead where to buy clothes from.. would I stay my normal size to buy just in maternity versions or do you normally go up in size.. I need help with ideas.. also any tips for sore boobies I would appreciate also..
Thanks

I used a rubber band to extend my jeans at about 8 weeks.I wore them this way for a few weeks. I then ordered some maternity jeans from old Navy online. Same size as I usually wear. Love them!

When i first found out i was in the same position.  It was hard for me to button my jeans. For a few weeks i wore leggings and yoga pants anf maxi skirts. At about 12 weeks my bloating went down a lot so i was able to get back in my regular jeans for a few weeks until i had to break out the maternity ones. Just buy the same size you normally wear. They are made to fit your belly and hips. And for sore boobs i just dealt with it but i did get fitted for a new size bra at 9 weeks and that helped. Now at 21 they are spilling out of them lol. The soreness will continue to come and go. Congrats!
