When were you in maternity clothes?

[LadyThompson]

I'm 20 wks with my DC2 and still easily in my normal jeans. I am not boasting but trying to encourage myself as I put on loads of weight when I had my DD and I think I was in mat clothes at this stage last time I would add though that I was a size 10 pre-children, and now I am a size 14 so I'm fatter. I want to stay in normal clothes as long as poss. What's a reasonable amount of weeks to aim for?

I was a size 14 pre pregnancy so I always had the whole curvy thing going on but I'm 21 weeks now & only just in maternity clothes. You can barely tell I'm pregnant, it just looks like I've had a big lunch, it's very dissapointing! Haha.

Although, if my baby stays small all the way through I suppose I won't mind as this is my first child & I'm dreading the idea of pushing him out in 4 months time. I have nightmares of trying to push out a 12lb sumo baby!

12 weeks first time around, 9 weeks second time around. I'm small so most of my normal clothes are quite fitted (otherwise I look like I've been in the dressing up box) and my waist vanished early on both times hence nothing fitted.

Also had big babies both times which didn't help..

I am 16 weeks tomorrow and wearing mat jeans for the first time today.
some trousers still fit, but the ones with a more fitted front (ie jeans) no longer do up.

These are a bit big, though. I am putting on non-preggo weight (new found addiction to carbs) so i have also upgraded from a 14 to a 16 and given myself space for the food fest to continue for the next 5 months.
