I bought some cheap bits from asda in 1/2 sizes too big to bridge that gap! I wasn’t in maternity this time until 6 1/2 months, but couldn’t get into normal stuff either!!
I found that a couple of cheap tops and jeans etc were enough to see me through the awkward stage!

I am 14 weeks but I haven’t been able to fit into my regular clothes for at least 3 weeks. I was a size 2 – 4 (four was nice and loose most of the time- I really hate that the size depends on the brand don’t you?) So I had some of my mom gaucho’s that I have been wearing (they are larges!) and I am fortunate that my husband has so many really big t-shirts (he doesn’t like tight/ to fitted clothing) that he lets me steal. I feel so jealous at all of you who didn’t look like they have a basketball stuck under their belly- like I do!

You can get something called the Bella Band. You wear it with your prepregnancy clothes. That way you can wear what you have a little longer.

I started wearing maternity clothes at about 12 weeks. I got some nice fitting shirts and pants at oldnavy, and they lasted through the majority of my pregnancy. If you are uncomfortable in the maternity clothes, buy some larger cheap clothing from Walmart, k-mart, etc.

i am about 18 weeks and just got maternity clothes. If you look at some of the jeans they have this strap inside to pull it in some or let it out. I personaly think those are the best. And they are stylish boot cut and i got mine from jc pennys.

I’m 20 weeks and till can’t fit into maternity clothes. Well, the shirts fit, but the pants don’t. They make the hips and butts HUGE on those pants! I’ve been wearing yoga pants etc. until I get big enough to wear the rediculously large maternity jeans!

If you can afford it, go buy a few inexpensive pairs of cotton pants with the stretchy waist (Kmart, Walmart or Target) about 1 size bigger than you normally wear. (They are just starting to come in for spring) The tummy doesn’t fill out for another month or so but tight pants really suck when your pregnant. Shirts should be fine for now. Good Luck!!

I had the same thing happen so I bought some yoga and running pants, really any workout pant will do, and I wore those until I fit into the maternity clothes. They were really handy after I had the baby as well. I also wore some of hubby’s jeans for a few months with the bottoms rolled up (after I got over the depression of being able to fit into them, lol). Next time I am going to buy a bella band, it is a maternity band that fits over the top of your jeans and allows you to leave them unbuttoned-. Take care.
