Maternity Clothes
I found out I was PG on Weds. Very excited!
Last week before I braved the test I was feeling very fat and started to think about hitting the gym as my trousers werent fitting but of course now I know why I was getting bigger! The only thing is im only 5 + 2 and I cant do my trousers up without my belly hurting! How soon were you all in maternity trousers! My friend who is stick thin was in them at about 16 weeks but I have a feeling ill be in them sooner! I dont want to be in pain because im squeezing into my normal trousers but then feel silly to be thinking about maternity trousers already!

i didn't start wearing maternity clothes until about a week ago (17 weeks), but since about 14 weeks i've only had one pair of trousers which actually did up properly, and they were hand me downs from a friend who's a size larger! i had resorted to the hair-tier round the button and button hole trick on my jeans - which is fine as long as you're wearing a long top... but in retrospect i wish i had just gone and bought a couple of things in a size up from normal. and doing that then as siany says they'l be good for after the baby arrives as well.

Certain jeans and trousers are harder to do up but I'm trying to wait as long as possible but I think I'm gonna have to give soon. My one pair of work trousers are impossible to button up as they've always been pretty tight, so at the minute I'm making do with some weird mechanism of fastening them using a hair bobble! The rest of the time I wear leggings for work and they're ok as they're elasticated.
When I'm not at work and wearing jeans I just open my button if it gets too tight but the other week I went on holiday and in the car on the way to the airport i had my button undone, it wasn't until I got to the airport through security and everything that someone I was with noticed my flys were undone! So defo gonna have to invest in some maternity trousers soon!

I started wearing mat clothes at 11 weeks but could have done with wearing them ssoner - I was just being stubborn lol xx
I found that my stomach hurt in normal trousers from about weeks 5-7 and then eased off - I think it was to do with all the muscles stretching etc and the tight trousers aggravated it!
I think it is your personal choice and you should get mat clothes whenever you feel you need to I will say I have only bought jeans and trousers so far but they are sooo comfy!
