From how many weeks did you start wearing maternity clothes? This is my first pregnancy, so I have no idea what's 'normal'. I'm 16 weeks now and still just about fit into my jeans, but by the end of the day they're definitely getting snug.

    Hey Eline,
    This is also my first pregnancy, but I already started wearing maternity pants around 12 weeks... my regular pants just didn't feel comfortable anymore.

    Besides that, I find the pants really comfortable... nice to have extra fabric over your belly

    Cheers,

    I was also in need of maternity clothes around 13 or 14 weeks.
    Just like what’s mentioned above, it was such a huge relief, and by the end of the day, no more agony from tight-fitting pants!
    Such a wonderful invention, that extra piece of fabric in a pair of pants or a skirt.

    From 8 weeks on, my belly was already quite big. I was very creative for a while, attaching elastic bands to my buttons and stuff like that . Around 12 weeks, I bought my first maternity pants. They felt so much better that I switched ever since. I'm now 16 weeks and I can still button my old jeans, but it doesn't feel comfortable anymore; it's quite tight.

    I already have maternity pants... I started wearing them at 10 weeks (I'm now 11 weeks). Not because I already have a huge belly (though you can kind of see I'm pregnant, hehe) but mostly because my own jeans just don't feel comfortable anymore. They don't fit well around my hips, and not around my belly either. The button was digging in so much and I didn't know what to do; it just didn't feel good. And these pants fit so incredibly comfortably that I bought another pair.

    Now, after 17 weeks, it's really time for maternity clothes :-) It takes a bit of getting used to, but they're definitely more comfortable than those super tight jeans.

    I'm almost 7 weeks now and I already need them. I have sharp pain in my regular pants and can't even button them anymore. I really have a little belly already.
