I'm having a slight Delima! All of my size 5 shorts are getting way too snug! And I'm only 11 weeks.…

I've had the same issue @12 weeks none of my 4-6 fitting so I bought the next size up...!

Okay! I think that's what I'm going to do. At least until "the next size up" starts looking too loose on my bum! Cuz that will make me mad! @danamarie

enjoy the weight gain consider yourself lucky

@missj_stephens, I definitely am! I just don't want to buy maternity shorts that are only gonna fit me for a month and then be too tight! Id rather buy cheap jean shorts until I can't any more (: and then buy the fancy stuff! Unless I can buy maternity shorts now. And they fit and will still fit me 3 months from now!

But my mom also bought me a pair of maternity too. I tried maternity pants on and I felt like a damn whale! Can't say I'm a fan. I'm sure they will look okay if it's just then next size like I did @awn0710

@danamarie, That's what I'm gonna try!

just buy a Bella band.

im 35 weeks tomorrow and havnt baught any maternity clothes.

I just wear maxi skirts lol.

@emilyyy96___, I do have some maxi dresses. Just 2 tho. I'm really short so it's hard to find a long enough dress that isn't too long!!!!! And what does the Bella band do!? @missj_stephens how the heck have you gotten away with that so long!! My pants barely go over my ass. Let alone button. AND I haven't gained ANY weight this pregnancy! I'm 4 lbs lighter than my pre pregnancy weight!

A lot of your belly could just be from bloating, when I was 11 weeks I looked about the same, then it would get smaller. Doc said bloating is common that early. I'd say just get the next size. I'm going on 17 weeks and just got my first pair of maternity jeans which will probably be my only pair lol. Super expensive.

Look at thrift stores for maternity anything! It is so comfy!! I tried just buying a bigger size and it just doesn't fit right...and if it does, it's not for long.

@_princesstk, my doctor confirmed that's belly not bloating. We had a long talk about it because I was pretty concerned! But yea. I am just gonna buy bigger jeans and some dresses! @_princesstk @babykepmommy I'll have to do that. We don't have many thrift stores in our area tho unfortunately!
