When did your pants get too tight?

LV Luvr · Jul 18th, 2008, 02:19 PM

So I'm curious on when everyone's clothes got too tight in their pregnancy. It's happening to me now and I'm 5-6 weeks. ugh. WAY too early for me. I wasn't mentally prepared for this! LOL!

too tight to button around 12 weeks, and that was w/ my twins and my 2nd pregnancy.
1st pregnacy you usually don't show as soon as w/ subsequent pregnancies, so for my 1st it was more like 16 weeks.

baby #1... I think that is way early, but it is all good! Best of Luck!!!

For all 3 of my pregnancies, my pants started getting tight at 4-4 1/2 months. Around that time, I started to let my shirts hang out as well.

I don't know when I outgrew them... and it's funny you should ask this now because my GF and I just finished talking about this literally 5 minutes ago.

I pretty quickly moved into a pair of black Lululemon yoga pants (the kind you fold under the belly) in order to avoid obsessing about how fast I was outgrowing my clothes...Additionally, they were insanely flattering and comfortable and I never felt fat or dumpy in them...

It worked really well for me I have to say. That pair of pants saw me through my entire pregnancy regardless of whether I was just lounging around or pairing it up with a dressier top. I really liked Japanese Weekend for tops & dresses, however I still wore those Lululemon pants for most of my first 3 months post-partum especially when I started working out again 6 weeks after my C-section. So I only gave up that pair of pants one morning about 3 months after the birth of my twins when I looked at myself in a full-length mirror and thought I could probably fit into my pre-pregnancy pants with no trouble... Amazingly, even though I washed them every day, they still looked really great almost a year later (I just followed the care instructions on the label). I know exactly when I was able to fit back into my pre-pregnancy stuff, but I really didn't want to know when I outgrew my stuff because I knew I'd get bummed out (and I took everything way too seriously when I was pregnant anyway). Theoretically, I could say that I never outgrew those size 6 pants... LOL... and somehow that made me feel much better about my expanding belly, thighs and butt....

I think at 4 months things were tight, at 5 months I was out of them. 9 weeks sounds early, but everybody is different, you know?

LV Luvr · Jul 18th, 2008, 03:40 PM

ok now i'm depressed.

ilovepinkhearts · Jul 18th, 2008, 03:55 PM

with me my stomach always felt queasy...so anything tight around it made it worse. so i started to unbutton my pants and use a rubberband [loop it through the hole and then around the button] for awhile. then when they got too small i bought preggo pants.

with my 2nd the tightness did come on quicker...

LV Luvr · Jul 18th, 2008, 04:30 PM

i'm wondering if this is bloating. the legs fit fine its the belly area. ugh. i jsut don't feel comfortable...guess i'll be feeling this way the next 7 months!

ms.fashionista · Jul 18th, 2008, 04:43 PM

Don't fret...I am now 6-7 weeks and last week, I couldn't button up my jeans! I attribute it to bloating and also I have started to drink more water these days. I have stopped wearing my jeans and started wearing more of my leggings with looser tops. Hope that helps and don't feel depressed!

princessDD · Jul 18th, 2008, 04:51 PM

i'm going into 10 weeks now, and a majority of my jeans don't fit comfortably anymore. Only my low waisted jeans are comfortable. i'm terribly sad that my designer jeans will be going into hibernation. however, i do also recommend Lululemon yogo pants. i've been wearing them often because they're very comfortable around the waist line.

*Diamondgirl* · Jul 18th, 2008, 05:22 PM

Don't worry about this...it's probably just bloating...it happened to me too! There's so many hormonal changes going on in your body. I fluctuated alot in the beginning, (due to lots of constipation...sorry to be gross), but I really didn't start showing till about 20 weeks or so. (I'm 30 weeks now)
Hope this helps and Congratulations!!

I was super skinny before I got pregnant and I started showing pretty quickly. It was hard to hide the tummy by the time I was 16 weeks pregnant. If you still like to wear your pre-pregnancy pants try using a bella band. I managed to wear my pre-pregnancy pants all through my pregnancy using bella bands.

DOn't be. My pants were tight when I was 5 weeks. I literally couldn't button them up anymore. I'm 12 weeks now and I'm still the same as I was 5 weeks but I think everyone grows at a different pace. Everyone told me you're not suppose to show until 4-5 months for the 1st child. I'm showing a bit already and I have a friend who's 10 weeks and she's showing a bit as well.

I was out of dress pants by about week 14-15. I gave up the last of my jeans by week 23 or so. Now it's dresses for work and Lulu yoga pants on the weekends.
