That's it I gave in!

Today I gave in and pulled out my maternity jeans out for the first time in this pregnancy. Exactly 20 weeks (today). I can still get away with wearing most of my usual trousers as they are looser on me but my jeans have had it for the rest of my pregnancy. I reckon it won't be long before all my leggings come out again, although I wasn't pregnant in winter last time, maybe leggings will be too cold.

Quite pleased really, I forgot just how comfortable they were.

By the end of day 1 in the returned pair I may as well have been wearing trackie bums!

I went for the 'Joni' style which apparently promises to retain its shape all day. Still had to go down a size though as normal size ridiculous.

I have a feeling I'll be in maternity clothes by 9 weeks to. I'm only 6 weeks and I'm so bloated most of my dress pants or jeans that button up are digging into my abdomen already and uncomfortable. I already try to wear long shirts so I can unbutton at least the top row. :-(

I've been in maternity wear/my fat trousers since 10 weeks or so. Couldn't stand a tight waistband.

I've lived in Jersey dresses and leggings for work and am currently rocking a pair of dungarees. Got so sick of hoiking up my trousers.

34 weeks and quite looking forward to wearing something non-stretchy with a waistband again!

Wildfire - I had some early bloat but then it disappeared.

Having said that these jeans are so comfortable, I don't know that I'll ever go back to buttons and zips! Also so much easier when desperate for the loo.
