Clothes...

Hey everybody! I was wondering what you
all wore the first few months of your
pregnancy. I am around 7-8 weeks along
and have gained no weight but my tummy
sticks out so far that I can't wear my
pants, shorts, or skirts anymore. It is
so irritating because everyone is saying
that I shouldn't be switching clothes yet
and that I am just imagining it. Well,
last night I hung out with my 2 sisters
(one of whom has been pregnant 5 times and
the other one been pregnant 3 times) and
they can't figure out my tummy either! It
is really hard and you can't pinch
anything off of it. In fact, you can't
pinch anything off of me anywhere! I am
so frustrated because I have no clue what
to wear. The 2 pair of maternity pants
that I bought are way too large around the
legs because my legs are still skinny and
all of my normal pants don't fit me
because the waist won't button. I did buy
a pair of bigger jeans but they are
already getting too tight around the belly
and any size bigger looks dumb around my
legs. 
sorry too ramble you guys. I needed to
vent. Talk later

I wore my pre-preg clothes until I
couldn't anymore. The first maternity
thing I remember buying was a pair of
black pants for work. Then a couple of
shirts, then bigger bras, then a few pairs
of pants. After I was taken off work, I
bought a sh|tload of jammies to lounge
around in, which worked out incredibly
well because that's pretty much all I wear
now as a stay at home mommy.

Thanks, I have been living in workout
pants but my boss wants me to start
wearing nicer clothes to work. She says
that even though I am pregnant I shouldn't
be a slob
oh, and I already had to buy a new bra. I
am about to buy another one too that is up
another size!

I wore my regular clothes. They started
to get a little uncomfortable around
12wks. I still can wear my pre pregnancy
clothes and im 38wks!!! But they are a
little uncomfy on my lower stomach when I
sit down so I wear my soffee pants when I
go out.

I wore my normal jeans til I really
couldn't anymore but all I did was zip
them up as far as I could (had a shirt on
that hid the zipper obviously) & I
looped a hair tie around the button &
thru the hole...I don't know if .I'm
explaining it right but that was how I did
it the whole time I was pregnant. I was
able to wear one of my pairs of jeans
right up until I had .Kaylee..
Maybe that would work for you?

hehe, I was going to suggest that!
What you are experiencing is early
pregnancy bloating and it is very common.
Maybe you could get some relaxed fit type
pants?

I think that I am going to try the loop
thingie. That should work I think.
Yeah, I know that it is bloating but it is
so different feeling than my bloating
before I have my period.
This is off the subject but..... Is it
bad to sleep on your stomach? Just
wondering.

I slept on my belly until it started
turning into a bump... Even though a few
times in the beginning of my pregnancy
before I got used to not sleeping on my
stomach, .I'd wake up & catch myself
on my belly & flip over real quick.
Not sure if it can hurt anything that
early on but I was too paranoid to chance
it.

This early in your pregnancy, it should be
fine. Do it now while you can, because
later on you'll be soooo sick of sleeping
on your left side.

I was able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans
throughout my whole pregnancy and never
wore maternity pants or anything like
that....I never really went anywhere
except to my doctor appointments,store and
my work, I tried to avoid wearing jeans as
much as possible but when I did I always
wore them on my hip. But like everyone
else said, I bought a lot of those elastic
waiste outfits with the matching jacket.
I'm a pajama pants girl too haha.

i am 9.5 weeks along and I sleep on my
stomach all the time. The doctor said it
would not hurt anything and I could do it
until it was uncomfortable for me. I
will be in trouble when I can't sleep on
my stomach anymore, that's the only way I
can fall asleep fairly quickly!!!
