Maternity Clothes at 12 Weeks???

[Moanyoldcow]

I should start by stating I'm fat and I'm really trying not to eat unhealthily during this pregnancy.

However, in the last 2 weeks my clothes have got progressively tighter on thighs and stomach and my breasts are popping out of my bra but I'm only 12 weeks! I also have only put on about 2lb so it's not 'fat' as such.

This is my second pregnancy - is it normal for this to start so early? I was in normal clothes until I was 5 months before!!

Feeling really quite low with it all.

Could it be twins

Every pregnancy is different. Be kind to yourself and wear whatever makes you comfortable. Congratulations on your pregnancy

Come 12 weeks of my second pregnancy I had on my floaty and very comfortable maternity dresses!

Yep. I was in mat jeans by 8 weeks wirh dc2. My stomach just gave up (and never got back!). Although actually i got huge quickly, i ended up about the same final size as with dc1 if that's any comfort

I knew this would be a second (or more) pregnancy before clicking. I was bloated from 6 weeks with my second, having not shown until 20 with my first. Floaty dresses all the way by 10 weeks. Don't feel low, it sounds completely normal.

Jesus - twins didn't even occur to me... that would be quite something to cope with! Scan this week so I'll find out then...

Thank you everyone. I've ordered some stretchy trousers and floaty tops so I can look reasonable at work at least.

Hi, 12wks, first pregnancy - I have given up and gone into maternity clothes and bras this week because nothing fits 🙄 And my bras were cutting into me and hurting.

I was in maternity bras and jeans by 14 weeks, not because I needed to but because I wanted to be comfy and they were just so nice to wear!

I'm 12 weeks in second pregnancy, usually a size 16, and I've been in maternity jeans and leggings for 3-4 weeks, and I have a noticeable bump (enough that my neighbour asked me if I was pregnant yesterday...!!)

I think it can be normal. I'm also overweight and with my first I was in maternity clothes by 8 weeks. I was so bloated and by the time the bloat went away I was close to 14 weeks and needing maternity clothes anyway. This time around I was pretty bloated around 8-9 weeks again, but then it went away. Even then I was still in my normal clothes, they were just tight. I'm 14 weeks now and still comfortably in my usual clothes. I haven't gained much more than a few pounds but I didn't either with my first by this point. I think it can just be so random how your body responds and every pregnancy can be different.

Everyone really is different! I'm expecting my first child in a few weeks and was a size 10 before pregnancy and I bought my first maternity clothing around 12 weeks as I couldn't do my jeans up anymore! 😂 (and despite the many 'helpful' comments I've had along the way of "wow, you're really big, are you sure it's not twins in there?"... it's definitely just the one in there!

Thanks everyone. I'm expecting this to be a big one - DC1 was 11lb - but still, I wasn't showing this early last time. I'm hoping for a more reasonable 9lb but that's not really in my control!!
