I am 12 weeks preg with our 3rd and I feel so fat right now. I don't recall feeling this way with the first two. Anyway, just curious to know when people grew out of the regular clothes.
Feeling FAT

Oh dear god!
I was so bloated that I started wearing maternity pants at 6 weeks!
I put on the majority of my weight in the first trimester. My regular pants COULD fit, but they were really uncomfortable, so I just went with maternity. I really hate having anything tight around my waist.

Yes, I feel so happy to be growing a baby! I am more than happy to show it too I just hate the stage of just looking oinky instead of pregnant.
I seem to remember being 4-6 months before really getting into maternity clothes but not this time. You just feel like how did this happen, yesterday my jeans fit fine and today I can't even button them!

Susan, Yeah, that chubby stage is hard on our self-esteem, isn't it? A couple more weeks and you'll look "officially pg" to everybody - especially wearing maternity. That "popping out" does seem to happen overnight. Just go with it. You said you are happy to show - I always am too. Other people see you pg and they smile as if you made a total strangers day good just simply by being pregnant. Congrats! Check in with us!

Congrats on your pregnancy. I am preg with my second daughter...our first is only 14 months...and am due in 3 1/2 weeks. I was in maternity pants by 10 weeks this time. Right now with the changing seasons I only have 1 pair of pants that fit and a few pairs of shorts. When I am home, which is most of the time, I wear my hubby's sweat pants and t-shirts. Right now I am beyond big. I agree that people smile when they see pregnant women. Enjoy your pregnancy.

With preganancy #1 , I bought larger sizes from weeks 12-24 then began wearing maternity clothes. With #2 I bought form fitting maternity clothes at old navy and needed them by week 12. My belly looked bigger early on with #2 but I gained equal weight with both. I have heard that you show quicker with each pregnancy.

Has anyone used the bella bands. Between those and the low rise jeans and shorts I have been able to wear my regular clothes a bit a longer. Sweats and elastic are definite my friend.
I gained the same with the first two but it was so much harder to lose the 2nd time around. I was still carrying 5 extra lbs when I got pregn with this one. I was also able to exercise a lot more in the first trimeser with the other ones. I am glad to be in the 2nd tri now - this is the most enjoyable stage for me. I can exercise normally, I feel good, etc.

I'm 14 weeks and can only wear low rise jeans and maternity pants. My first 2 pgs I went a lot longer in my "regular" clothes, but not so with this one.
