When did your clothes get too tight?

[ammature]

I'm not talking maternity jeans needed but wondering when your regular clothes got too tight? Just realised lots of my tops are not fitting me. I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow. I was thinking of buying some new tops in a larger size but holding off on maternity clothes until I have a bump!

Tops are fine but just ditched jeans and work trousers for maternity ones at 16 weeks. It not that I can't do them up, like many others have mentioned it makes me feel awful having something cutting into my middle.

21 weeks & I have 2 pairs of jeans left that fit. Everything else has been put away til next year. I think a few of my tops will last me a fair bit longer but trousers are definitely snug!

I needed maternity jeans really early as mine were really tight.,

However I'm still wearing most of my normal clothes at seven months. I lost quite a bit through sickness at the start...

I'm 11 weeks and my sister brought me down some of her old maternity clothes a few weeks ago, thank goodness! Usually a size 12 bottoms and 10 top. Bought some size 14 trousers but found they're pressure on my belly which I couldn't stand! My work trousers are way too tight on the waist, so I walk around with them undone and a long top over them! Maternity clothes are so comfortable!

Im having my 3rd and my clothes are tight now at 8 weeks I am sooooo bloated

"Im having my 3rd and my clothes are tight now at 8 weeks I am sooooo bloated"

Yep, am in the same boat. Get bloated more quickly third time round, I think.

I lost half a stone in the first trimester but I still needed maternity jeans at 13 ish weeks. It obviously wasn't fat causing the problem as I had lost weight but I had a definite rounded tummy which meant my jeans wouldn't fasten.
I think a lot depends on how your bump grows too, my bump is quite low (has been in each pregnancy) so my bump expands right across where my waistband sits.

I stopped wearing jeans and trousers pretty much immediately as the bloating made them insanely uncomfortable. Dresses with waists I couldn't do up from around 12 weeks, but they had fitted waists to begin with. An extra inch made a big difference.

I'm 18 weeks and in a range of maternity and non maternity dresses. I'm in non maternity tops, though my vest tops are beginning to get tight.

I had to buy new bras at 8 weeks and now at 10 weeks although I can still fit into my usual trousers they are pretty uncomfortable so buying a size bigger than normal!!

I switched to maternity clothes last week 17+5. Old clothes still fit but my god, am I more comfortable now & feel like my old self - don't feel fat

I'm 32 weeks and still not bought any maternity clothes at all. I am pretty fat and into loose clothes anyway though. Was contemplating a maternity swimsuit and some jeans but is beginning to seem pointless so far on

I haven't had to buy any maternity clothes yet.. When I've been shopping I've just bought tops and trousers that another size or two up than usual! (29 weeks pregnant :) ) I feel like a very small 29 weeks though even though i'm not...as I can't see my feet anymore

Nicolah - is that stuff not huge everywhere else though? If I bought trousers two sizes bigger I'd look ridiculous!

I contemplated just buying a size up when my clothes started to get tight at 13 weeks but I figured that if I did that I would soon have to buy another size up and so on and it would be a waste of money on the long term (as well as the clothes being too big everywhere except my bump). By just getting maternity clothes straight away I knew I would only have to buy once and they will (hopefully) last me throughout the pregnancy and fit properly all over.

I am nearly 9 weeks and my work trousers are so uncomfortable in the afternoon. This isn't due to any weight gain or bump, it's because I get so bloated in the afternoon!

9 weeks I felt like nothing fit but that was first trimester bloating and constipation!!
I properly grew out of stuff at about 16-17 weeks.
