Week 10 : Shop till you drop (your pants)
I started buying maternity clothes the second my pants felt a little tight. It didn’t matter that the reason they were tight was that I had just consumed a large meal; I was pregnant and needed an entire new wardrobe!
Only problem? All those large jeans belly panels aren’t meant for a 10 weeks pregnant woman that consumed an entire cake because “the baby needed it.”
Shopping at a maternity store before you’re really showing is somewhat embarrassing. It’s kind of like all those times I bought bridal magazines without a ring on my finger: You know most people think you’re just jumping the gun.
Every time I’d walk into one of those establishments, I’d try my best not to make eye contact with the women with big bellies. Even though, in theory, we belonged to the same club, it seemed they were a little more qualified to search for pants with belly panels than I.
But, what’s a girl to do? Invest in a nine-month supply of sweatpants? Walk around with my pants unbuttoned, just waiting for the day they fall down to my knees?
No, I’d buy my pants and try them on with the “fake belly” pillows they leave in the dressing rooms.
Just don’t ask me to model my new outfits outside for everyone to see.

I'm 10 weeks today, and I've just ordered maternity jeans online. I had to - I don't fit into any of mine jeans, and B&M stores somehow have only sizes starting from 18 (I'm size 2). I have now idea if my new jeans (no stretchy panel, just sit below waist) are going to fit, but at least I can grow into them :)
Just go ahead and wear maternity clothes when your real clothes are too tight. Who cares what people think. Even if its at 8 wks, your oomfort is important. To avoid maternity clothes until a "certain point" is a form of denial.
oh btw i dont like the pants that go over the belly. they are ugly as hell LOL. plus i hate things touching or going near my belly button lol. i prefer the kind that have a very stretchy band that can go right under the belly. much more comfortable, and no one can tell they are maternity clothes. =)
LOL im 10 week i have bought maternity clothes bc im sick of sweat pants and i cant get into my normal clothes. i dont care what people think, every woman is different and each show at different times. with my first i gained all my weight the first trimester and i slowed down. i looked the same from 2 months til 6 months. its not sad, or embarassing to me. its the way my body is. granted i know its not all baby at this point, its mostly major bloating going on, but it is what it is. i dont eat whole cakes, or dozens of doughnuts, i dont dont drink pop, or chug milkshakes all day long. i eat normally. in fact ive gained 15lbs already and ive been eating less then when im not pregnant. is my body. nothing to be ashamed of, and if the dr. told me to slow down and loose weight this early on id find me a new dr. lol. be proud of yourself regardless. i would want my baby to walk with their head held high no matter what, so i should start him or her off on the right foot and hold my head high for them! so what if im showing at 3months and need mommy clothes? i think women who glare are jealous bc they didnt show so soon! id wear what i want when i want. i dont particulary care what another woman thinks of me or what i wear. LOL. ive known overweight friends, who have bought maternity clothes bc they fit them better and looked nicer and they werent even pregnant! LOL
Live and let live.
I'm 11 weeks,I kind of understand but at the same time, I don't really care, I'm already pushing it and seeing nutritionists but even at that I was told I was going to need mommy clothes. Which is fine with me, I really don't care. I honestly think that hey, if your feeling to that point or are like alot of us shorties with not much body to us, get the pants, wear them with pride, who cares what others think :)
im eleven weeks and this is going to be my 2nd preg. im already showing and when see other women that are ten/eleven weeks also and arent showing like i am, its sad!!! i think,should i be this big already?!?!? lol but i have already been to maternity shops. They are expensive!!! i learned that if you go to Target they are cheap and cute!! to be honest, iv even gone to garage sales and come across some cute tops!!! but as for the pants,iv only got one pair!!! well there capri pants and i wear a xs.i prefer the ones with the big panel than the elastic pants!! They are baggy on me in the legs and the but to a little but they are comfy.my first preg i did have more sweat capris than pants but i like the jean capris with a cute top.heck,your preg,and u might as well make the best of it!!!!
HA!!! OMG i wish i could find maternty pants that do fit....my butt and hips did not swell out huge like my sisters.. i am naturally a really small person. So i am stuck with sweat pants and a belly band for my jeans that i love so much... :(
don't feel bad. i'm on my second pregnancy and now i am having twins. i thought i was dumb for wanting to start wearing maternity clothes already but my clothes r getting tight and b/c i have twins and its my second pregnancy, im only 10 wks and already starting to show. it doesnt help that i am a little overweight as is. its just harder to suck it in now. lol. ive been feeling very depressed on how i look, but it is what it is. im pregnant with twins.
My hubby keeps wanting me to go shopping & get some pants that fit me, but I don't want to cuz I know they're not gonna fit me after I have the baby and exercise till I get back to my original size...
i so bought a 9 month supply of sweatpants :)
i know exactly how you feel and i'm only almost 9 weeks and my pants are a tad tight, the maternity pants are just so much more comfortable. why suffer with your regular pants if you dont have too~!~
I'm wearing sweats and my husbands shirts from now on!
I completely feel like I had 1 too many donuts! I don't look like I'm pregnant, I just look like I enjoyed the holidays a bit and I am kinda embaressed. It's probably in my head. My clothes feel a little tight but really uncomfortable by the end of the day. I think I might stick to wearing dresses as much as I love my jeans, they will last longer and I can still pretend that I'm tiny.
On the other hand I looked at some maternity pants, and there is NO WAY they are gonna stay up on me! What's a girl to do? Anyone PM me, give me some advice. Please?
& they're comfy too!
I'm at 9 weeks 5 days and I have found that the cloth stretch pants with the big elasic waistbands (you know the ones that don't dig into your gut) have been a life saver for me! Not sure what the next step will be after they get too tight! I really don't want to wear maternity clothes until I absolutely have to!!
i am just 10 weeks and my pants were starting to get uncomfortably tight so i bought a pair of pants with the belly panel and they are comfortable but i quickly realized i don't have the belly to hold them up.
I understand that. We don't actually have maternity stores any wear near where I live though, the closest maternity store is an hour and a half away. But I haven't been able to wear my regular pants without the ponytail method since I was 5 weeks, a week before i even knew that i was pregnant. It is really frustrating to try and be 10 weeks along and be just as big as the lady in the cubicle in front of me thats at 18 or 20 weeks and not think to myself, damn maybe i need to not eat that second bag of jerky. Its embarrassing to be big and barely pregnant.
I started showing at 2 months, my niece gave me her maternity pants. They roll down and it is a constant struggle just to keep them up. It worst part is I am tall so when I buy my pants I need to buy a large-the large fits the length but they look so big on me. People at work are like boy you are growing there Momma.
I agree, I'm only 6 weeks but I'm very skinny and even though I haven't gained any weight yet, I have this weird looking belly that seems to escape from my jeans! Fortunately it's summer and I can get away with elastic-waist skirts and baby-doll tops... LOL
I feel the same way. With my sec preo i was shopping at 7weeks because i was showing early. Then with my 3prego i am having trouble finding anything to fit me. My everyday cloths are to small and martenty is sometimes just a little to big. The delimas that we go threw.
This story is so me!! I am only 10 weeks but my jeans have already gotten tight and the rubber band thing is annoying to me casue my zipper kept falling. So I have bought a few maternity pants. Now shirts arent that big of deal as long as they house these breasts I don't recognize! LOL. The pants i bought fit ok if I roll them but i can wear them well into my 5th motnh if not longer I am sure.
I am only 9 wks...I wear a size 0 or 2 depending on the jean. I am starting to show also. This is going to be my second child. I showed very early with my first one(4 yrs.) But the Gap has hidden panel jeans that look exactly like my normal low cut jeans. You can wear them your entire pregnancy. I can still wear my normal jeans but my shirts are not fitting like I like them anymore so I am actually going shopping today for some tops.
i started buying maternity clothes when i was 8 weeks, be proud and hold your head up high, women bodys are diff. im showing already and im just 10 weeks, who cares what other people think of you when you walk into the motherhood..keep buying gurl
I'm 10 weeks pregnant and have been wearing maternity pants since I was 7 weeks pregnant. My pants just didn't fit. This is my 6th pregnancy (only 2nd child due to miscarriages) and I think that may have played a role. I too am really embarrased to be wearing maternity clothes so early but I swear my regular pants cut off the circultation to my legs!! hahaha I think once I hit 16 weeks I'll feel better about myself...i hope
I really only buy maternity tops. My skirts usually fit untill the very last 2 months so I usually just borrow some from my sisters in law. That helps to save a little money.
I am about 9 1/2 weeks now and I still kinda fit into my regular pants, unless I'm sitting down then they are too tight. I still have my maternity pants left from when I was pregnant with my son. I haven't tried them on yet. I'm too scared. I haven't even told my boss I'm pregnant yet. Not sure if I'll still have my job. I knew I was pregnant when I applied.
You are sooo not alone. When I decided to get pregnant I gained 10 pounds in a week. LOL So needless to say I was showing but it wasnt a baby! At 8 weeks I bought all new maternity clothes because look at it this away. You are not going to get smaller for at least 6 more months so get the clothes and wear them proudly!
Hi girls, My jeans were getting really uncomfortable at seven weeks, thought i was to to early for maternity wear. My Mum decided we should go clothes shopping. I went along convinced nothing would fit, but Mothercare and Mamas and papas both do a 'early term range' they are so comfortable and discreet. They look just like normal jeans but have stretchy panels at the front pockets, so much nicer than the belly pants. Good luck Girls xxx
I can totally relate. I'm 10 weeks and started wearing too large maternity pants this week because I've gained 5 lbs and my regular pants are a little too tight to be sitting all day. When I went shopping last weekend I didn't feel a bit bad about it - I want to be comfortable! It does help that I'm carrying twins though - eases the guilt a little. I think I've finally surrendered to the fact that I'm going to be huge with two babies, and to that I say "bring on the spandex!" :-)
OMG! I am in the SAME boat. But get this, I started shopping last week at 7 weeks pregnant. I think I may have just been getting a bit bigger to start with, but I don't fit in ANY of my pants anymore. So I bought a whole new wardrobe. I felt so depressed that my butt would actually get that big. But that are better than uncomfortable jeans you can't button.
I am so glad I found this site. I'm pregnant with my third and am 10 weeks pregnant. My husband finally asked me why I was making myself uncomfortable and he broke out my maternity clothes and said here your pregnant with our third just be comfortable. Love him. You just need to feel comfortable in your clothes, your pregnant enjoy it.
LMAO!!!..I thought of me too...I had a c-sestion with my first child,(who is 6) and the fat there never really left it..so the need for maternity clothes is there but embarrasement is also....
it's not weird, i went to motherhood at 9 weeks to buy some big belly'd pants. i explained that i know i'm not big yet, but i don't wanna bum around another pregnancy in pajama pants.. she was very nice and helped me find the right fit i was looking for... also to where i gained alot in my theighs last time, she helped me find some that i could compfortably grow into! she didnt treat me any different then any other pregnant woman to walk into the store. i felt funny at first, not having a huge buddah belly... but with the fake belly in the dressin room to try on, you know there are other moms using it too~
I am 10 weeks and my mom took me to buy maternity clothes because mine were already getting tight and digging into my already nauseated belly. I would rather have maternity clothes that were a little too loose than wearing my husbands shorts as he suggested. To my surprise there were women also shopping who had smaller bellies than me.
LOL! People looked @ me funny a couple of weeks ago because I am pretty petite,my problem is not the pants yet,but my boobs! I've always been pretty well endowed and now with this being my second baby,my breasts are getting larger quicker for some reason! The Sales Lady was laughing because I'm a 34 around but they don't make 34 f's and up...which is probably what I need,so I settled for the 36 E! Good Luck to everyone with a similar prob.!
lol girl thats so me rite now im only 10 weeks an 5 days im so nervous about buying maternity clothes wen my my belly aint showing but none of my pants me!! an then i have highschool starting in 3 weeks an yea i have no pregnancy clothes i think ima break down lol!!
Why in the world would you buy the 1960s big-belly-panel pants at 10 weeks (or at all, for that matter) when there are so many other options actually MEANT for that awkward "my regular clothes don't fit but I don't have a big pregnant belly yet either" in-between stage!?
Anyone who's been really been pregnant should know by now that there are all sorts of options in the tummy department ... semi-panels that come half-way up, roll down yoga pant versions and, my personal favorite, those that look like "normal" jeans but have added elastic backing (but look "normal" from the front) or a thin two-inch-high band of soft cotton-covered elastic rather than the regular constricting button closure. Either are meant to go below your growing belly, so they generally have very few fit problems.
There are even entire lines devoted to the first two trimesters and intended to carry over postpartum! And most are no more pricey than the full-panel jobs this woman's writing about. Old Navy has plenty of affordable, even attractive items meant for this stage exactly. And quite frankly, if you like the under-the-belly type like I do, they'll generally last you through your entire pregnancy and into the first few months with baby, until your pre-baby clothes feel comfortable again. I've had three children and am pregnant with my fourth, so I'm definitely speaking from experience here. LOL
But what is up with the dated pregnancy humor? I mean, sure, it's funny in an "I've never been pregnant but if you were in 1982 I can see how that would be funny" sort of way, but it's not most women's current experience with pregnancy fashion -- which is making HUGE strides (I prefer my maternity wardrobe to my "normal" one! LOL). Frankly, this article seems a bit misleading for many first-time-moms.
I just wanted to say how relieved I am to have found this site and thread. I am 10 weeks, too, and had no idea there were so many others like me, out there! I've been wanting to get maternity pants for a couple weeks now, just because I think they'd be way more comfortable. You ladies have talked me into it!
This is my 5th pregnancy. They have such great transition wear now I say get a few pairs of pants it will help you not feel so fat. I've noticed the women who try to get by forever with their normal clothes are the ones who complain they are fat the most. You can also go to the thrift store or some childrens resale shops and buy the under the belly panel a size down, so it stays up. in my part of the country I really don't find maternity to be more expensive than regular clothes.
That is funny, I am prego with my 4th and my husband tells me I got all the clothes from before so I should just wear them, but they are way out of date and almost embarrasing so now I just wear all his basketball shorts and t-shirts to get my point across!!
Than k God for this website it takes care of any insecurities. I was wondering why I was showing at 10 weeks. All I do is throw up and I still see my belly getting bigger. Nice to know I am not alone.
I am 11 weeks. I'm not "showing" so much as rreally bloated and barfy and not into tight waistbands or control tops - I don't care if its 'too early' - bring on the elastic waist.
I just bought a pair of demi-panel pants on sale at the Gap and its the best $25 I could have spent. My bloated belly is SO much happier and they look better, and maybe I'm crazy on hormones but I think they actually look better because they aren't digging in like my regular pants were and creating lumps. They fit my butt and legs just like my regular size, and there is room for belly growth, so I'll get lots of wear out of them for months to come.
I consider it an investment. Wearing your regular clothes when you're too big for them will stretch them out and make them look weird when its time to get back into it.
A good minimizer bra will help get more wear out of blouses and t-shirts and support the twins.
I am so glad that i read this article!! Here i was just as you ladies were thinking Omg! I am over-eating! This is my second and first time round didnt need any maternity clothes until around four months (ish) but already i am bursting out of my favourite jeans. Funnily enough they were too big for me before i got pregnany! I am just so glad i read all of your comments because had i not i would still be thinking that i am over eating and feel fat! Although i think i will still feel fat until my bump gets big enouogh for maternity wear!! Good luck to all of you preggers ladies out there!!x
I'm almost at 11 weeks, and before I was pregnant I had a small pooch any way. So - I haven't been able to tell if I was actually getting bigger, or if it was just my pooch. My pants were tighter and I had to unbutton them, just like the previous ladies... The only pants I can wear semi-comfortably are the few low-rise pants. These comments helped me feel like I'm getting bigger because my baby is, not because I'm getting fat myself. I think the rubber band idea is great for those days when I need to wear my work oufits. Thanks ladies and congratulations!!!
After reading this article and looking at the photos of the other girls I am starting to feel better. I am 9weeks along and feel so fat. Both my sisters and mother didn't start wearing maternity clothes until their forth or fifth month! My low-rise Guess jeans still fit but that is about it. My tops don't fit anymore because I have gone from a B cup to a C cup within this past month. I have now had to buy maternity tops at least or resign myself to getting a bigger size shirt that I may or may not fit after the pregnancy and definately not when I am really showing. My wardrobe is shrinking at such a rapid pace I see myself wearing the same five outfits to work each week. I don't care what the ladies at the store think but what the other ladies that I know think. I feel like pulling my hair out.
This is too funny..yet so true!! im on my 11th wk, and what i did was i bought those pants/skirts that stretch as u get bigger! they fit just fine now and they have alot of stretch in them...
I went maternity shopping this weekend and wow I love my maternity jeans its like wearing sweats but I look stylish. I LOVE THEM!! Go to maternity boutiques and they sell designer jeans (seven) ect. As far as shirts gap has really baggy styles in all clearanced $2.97. Cause they look like crap on regular peopkle but are great for pregnant woman. I'm so Huge!! WHY?? I"m going to be so giant by the end.
I'm SOOO glad that I found this site too, I have a few friends who are expecting who are further than me and the little size 0 types, me being a 10 not pregnant and my third pregnancy has my clothes not fitting so well but this pregnancy is soooo different I never showed or felt pregnant this early I think it's because this was planned but still I was getting annoyed but this trick worked for me, buy one of those belts that have the half circles if that makes sense the ones you fold over in the circle things you can rock your norm jeans with them unziped and unbottoned and NO ONES knows and you don't look like you dropped a load like you would in maternity at this point lol, those bands are great but I feel like I'm going to lose my pants. Only thing that sucks is I'm gaining all over and I hate this fat cow feeling hopefully soon I'll be out of that feeling and feeling good, great and pregnant and fashionable too :) CONGRATS to you all and thanks for your great comments MWAH
haha is it wrong that Ive already bought pants at 5 weeks because I'm CONVINCED that i already show... I know i dont... it just made it more real wearing belly panel pants and LONG stretchy t shirts
Re all the comments above- same. I am eleven weeks and my waistband is cutting into me as we speak. However, I cannot figure out if this from the pregnancy or weight gain because my eating is so bizarre and out of whack- I am nauseated and starving at the same time.
omfg!!! I'm so glad that I found this website!! Im 10 weeks and showing and my pants are so tight that it hurts for me to wear them! Soo I sucked it up and bought a pair of maternity pants! All of friends are prego but way further then me and they all laughed at me when I told them I bought some maternity pants! So Im glad that Im not the only one out there! thanks ladies and goodluck!!
I bought my first maternity pants just last week at 10 weeks... lol I was pretty embarrassed. Now I buy most of it online and it doesn't matter if it's a little big or not the perfect size... It will fit EVENTUALLY!!
I'm barely even showing but definately getting to the point where I can barely button my pants and i want to go shop over there but i dont' want those women to think i am crazy or something cause you can barely see my little pudge
I thought I was the only one, seriously. I miscarried in June at 5 months with my first pregnancy and I didn't gain much too early. But this pregnancy I am 10 weeks and I look like I'm about that x 2. But honestly, sometimes its hard to find maternity clothes that you like and for different occasions that dont cost 100 bucks for just one shirt.
OMG!!!! I am 10 weeks and I just did this today!!!! I can't stand living everyday in sweats. It makes me feel frunmpy. I wanted to look cute and be comfortable with my ever-expanding waistline, so I did the unthinkable 1st trimester deed......I went to the maternity store! AND.....I spent $200!!! But, hey, I'm pregnant! I can do whatever I WANT!!!! Right?!
I have found something to solve all of your problems! It is called Belly Ups. They are mini-suspenders to help hold your pants up. They sell them on BabyCenter and also at www.bellyups.com. I can't live without these - I wear them almost every day!
I'm also 10 weeks, adn I'm having the same problem. My old clothes are too tight and uncomfortable to wear anymore, yet I'm not ready for maternity. I'm going out to buy those black elastic dress pants that you can find in the womens section of most department stores. They're comfortable, yet professional. Good luck ladies!
At 10 weeks, I can still, "suck it in," and be comfortable. The rubber-band idea is great, and I'm going to try it as soon as I get home today! I also just bought a Belly Band (called, "Bella Band"), and I love it: I fold it in half so it doesn't ride up from my tiny tummy, and it feels like a gentle hug, instead of a firm squeeze. If you're thinking about a belly band, search for boutiques in your area that carry them (Google Bella Band). The shopkeeper let me open one up and try it on right there to see if I liked it! I got the one with lace at the bottom (cute!), and my pregnancy is still, "my little secret."
earlier in my pregnancy i was so excited that would be showing soon that i went to the store to go and buy me some maternity clothes....come to find out they arent exactly the cheapest price in the world.....atleast for us cheap military people that dont make all that much money....i find that if you buy a size or 2 up in regular jeans you end up saving money....because after you give birth you'll be able to fit into those regular jeans alot quiker and it will make you feel like your loosing the weight alot faster....also if you have any friends that were recently prego you can see if they have any good hand me downs....believe me you'll fit into more than you think...
I'm only at about 8 weeks but i'm just gonna save some money for the baby on the way and use the whole rubberband theory Jenn had wrote. Wish everyone luck!!!
wow but looking like you swallowed a water mellon i really need help everyone i have met is like dang your big already but everyone that has seen the 9 weeks sono said that i will have a bigggg baby... should i be sad? i was 174 before i'm scared to see what i am now
I know how you all feel! 10 weeks and nothing fits, a cheap way of doing it is to buy the next size up from charity shops each time the waistband gets tighter, until you're big enough for 'big maternity pants'!
I thought I was the only one who felt this way!! I'm so glad that I'm not alone. I'm only 10 weeks but my pants are just not comfortable. I feel like I'm going to burst any second! I bought my first pair of maternity jeans and I was soo embarassed. I keep thinking these women must think I'm crazy. LOL
I just went through that for the first time last night! I felt so fat and knew I must be showing to everyone else in the world in my 'normal' jeans, but as soon as I walked into the dressing room, I felt terrible. At 10 weeks, I felt so weird trying on huge pants and having people tell me I was actually going to need them.
I'm 10 weeks now and at about 8 weeks, I just couldn't get thru the day in my jeans. So, I went to babyGap and found some great jeans in their 'Anytime' line. I felt so much more comfortable and fashionable at the same time. So, there is something out there for everyone - go for comfort! Congrats everyone.
I say, don't feel embarrassed. I am only 10 weeks and wearing maternity clothes already. I did the rubberband trick and it worked well for a while. I also bought the belly band but I didn't like it. It rides up under my bustline (which is NO fun in public) Anyway, this is my 3rd child and it is normal to show faster with more prgnancies. Also, everyone is different, some women just show very early. Check out the calendar girls page, I am bigger than some of the 18 weekers and smaller than some of the 8 weekers. Bottom line, do what you are comfortable with, God knows we go throught enough just being prgnant.
That is SO FUNNY!! OMG! That is me talking! I feel exactly like your article. My clothes are feeling tight and uncomfortable and even more so after eating. I walk around with my pants unbuttoned and sometimes unzipped as well. I want so bad to wear my maternity clothes and go shopping for new maternity clothes but I'm embarassed go shopping incase people ask me, 'how far along are you' uhh, l'm only 10 weeks but I look BIGGER! I've been hoping that I'm actually further along or maybe there's an extra baby in there somewhere. Then my size would be justified.:-)
This made me laugh so hard!
It's weird, because my MIL took me out to shop for maternity wear this past weekend, at exactly 10 weeks along. I cracked up in the dressing room because there were some pants that were absolutely gigantic, but I know I'll need them soon! It was actually kind of fun...I'm looking forward to showing now!
I, too, just bought my first pair of maternity pants at only 10wks! The saleslady at the store was sooo welcoming. I told her my dilemma of shopping so early, but she told me women start shopping for mat clothes as early as 6wks, or women who aren't even pregnant yet, but are trying to conceive. I even ended up with pants that have the extra big panel and I LOVE THEM!! Everything is smooth, I don't ever want to back to regular pants! To all the newly pregnant women out there, get out and do some shopping! 9mths goes fast!
You can also rig a rubber band through your jean button hole and wrap it around the button for extra room. It doesn't even show!
I found this awsome thing at motherhood materity called a belly sleeve it goes over your unbuttoned unzipped pants it covers the opening and holds your pants up too! It's AWSOME!!
This made me crack up, my best friend and I went to the much dreaded maternity clothing store last night. I have been fighting it, but my clothes keep shrinking and I need bigger ones, te same problem occured...they weren't meant for someone only 10 weeks. So, I bout a pair of "stylish" sweatpants, and a pair of gouchos...(which I hated the looks of up until last night when that is all that would fit right.) too funny...once again, I'm not alone.
LMAO! That is so me! I am now showing at 19 weeks but my clothes haven't fit well for at least a month now. Going to work with your pants unbuttoned just doesn't feel professional at all! So my mom finally bought me some clothes at Target's maternity section b/c I was so pitiful.
