12.5 weeks and popping my jeans

Hi everyone. First timer here and did not expect to be popping already. I live in skinny jeans and so they are so uncomfortable already
I tried some maternity jeans but I am nowhere near there yet so can anyone recommend the best leggings to try?
Or are they going to be too big too atm do you think?

Twins?

You can just buy a size or 2 larger in normal ones initially, they're pretty good for after birth too.

I had to swap to maternity leggings at 8wk (6th baby), I have new look ones.

I got ones from asos as I'm tall and need a longer leg. I've been in them since about 10 weeks (2nd baby and my muscles have split)

I'm the same, first pregnancy and jeans feeling tight on the tummy.. Definitely not twins x

I just go straight to overbump everything and roll the stretchy bump panels right down. Find that most comfy and easiest solution as don't need in between clothes then.

No bluebells, same as 1boo1. I've not gained any weight it just seems to be all there.
Tbf my jeans are a good fit so there isn't much wiggle room
Glad to see other have needed to early too I didnt think it would be this soon

I'm 10.5 weeks and finding the same, even tore the crotch out of my favourite pair of black skinny jeans bending down!

I bought some maternity leggings from loveleggings, I'm normally a 10/12 so I bought a 12 and they are amazing, really comfy and thick, although the bump bit is a bit big for me at the moment I can tell I'm going to live in them.
