18 weeks - what are you wearing?

[Katnisnevergreen]

I’m at that awkward in between stage where most of my (non elasticated) bottoms and dresses are feeling quite tight, but it seems too early to go full maternity.
Is everyone just sizing up? Or have you bitten the bullet and gone maternity?
I’ve only put on about 5 pounds so far but seem to be MUCH more solid around the mid section

Right going to take all your advice and mix and match. I think a primark or H&M trip might be in order. Mix of stretchy things and maternity it is

Also, what is everyone doing about bras?? Mine are all getting small but again I don’t think maternity/nursing ones yet.
Have you just bought bigger?

I never had maternity bras, didn't see the point, just bought cheap wired ones in the size up as required. Went up a cup size every 2 months or do. Not grown yet this time!

@SoyDora - interesting to hear you’re bigger with the third at this stage. I’m expecting my fourth and am definitely showing at 16 weeks more than the first!

Reasoning that I’ll end up the same size anyway

My first pregnancy I was largely managing with my normal clothes at 18 weeks other than jeans. It was around that time though I moved into maternity clothes. This time round I’m only 6 weeks and already look like a beached whale. I hope the bloating goes down otherwise I’ll be in a sack by 18 weeks this time round
