Clothes..........

[Cazza]

Ok I'm only just 5 weeks and a 'larger' lady (18/20) but I'm having problems with my clothes already!!!

My jeans are a no no, they hurt!!

I'm fine in leggings/track pants.

My work uniform trousers are stretchy enough for now but not sure for how long!! May have to try the hairband trick!!!

Anyone else having issues???

Oh and have had to go and buy new bra's 2 cups larger.............

At 5 weeks I was generally bloated anyway. My stretchy jeans are still ok and leggings are fine too but my skinnys are now a def no no you may find your stomach goes back down after 6-7 weeks x

I am in between sizes really (prob would be a size 15 if they made them) so my jeans are a bit bigger than I need so am getting away with it for now but wont be for long!! Think those maternity jeans will be being bought very soon!!

I have maternity leggings on, only cos I've just bought them and wanted to test them out, comfy!! X

I've only just started struggling with pre preg jeans as I always wore hipster jeans but I literally own one pair of skinny maternity jeans from top shop ( got off eBay) and linen trousers from asda and been buying a few long tops and bump band have been a saviour xx

 

[GemmGirl]

Have you thought about trying a bump band? These go round your tummy, give support and it meant I could wear my normal jeans/trousers (undone) for ages before I had to buy maternity clothes. The bloated feeling should hopefully go away soon though. Congratulations on your pregnancy. G x

I just stick to my maternity jeans and jogging bottoms. I don't feel all that comfortable in my maternity jeans though as they have got a bit tight xxx

I'm also an 18/20 and 5 weeks pregnant. My jeans are quite stretchy but I noticed on Friday my work trousers were quite tight. I do feel really bloated at the moment though, so it could just be that. I guess I'll find out on Tuesday when I'm back in the office.

I'm dreading the boobs getting bigger, I'm already an E, which is plenty big enough!

Eeeeep! I have enough trouble finding jeans as it is I'm too short for anything. And now I am going to be too short AND too pregnant !

you should try it! I love wearing my other halfs clothes, they are sooo comfy and they are massive, makes you look smaller .. hehe. I wouldn't dare go out in them though. Acutally at this moment in time I think i probably would. i'm at the stage where I just don;t care anymore! I hate wearing my works stuff just love slopping about in soft baggy things ! god wish I could be in my PJS 24/7 too..
