with my first pregnancy i didn’t gain much until i was 7 months pregnant and then blood pressure problems set in and i got fat…lol i started wearing maternity clothes at 7 months.
now with my second i have gotten bigger faster,i have gain 6 lbs and im 15 weeks. i started wearing maternity clothes or at least pants.
Im 13 weeks and I’ve gained 5 lbs so far trying to stay away from maternity clothes as much as possible for as long as I can but with my other children I was wearing them by 5-6 months
3 pounds
By 8 weeks, I was using Bella Bands. By 12 or 13 I got some maternity pants that are stretchy polyester. They’re icky fabric but nice because they fit when I had no belly and still still fit when I have a huge one.
By 15 weeks, maternity is all I was wearing. Even if they were a little big, they were more comfy than my old pants with Bella Bands.
i lost weight in my first trimester, and i am 21 weeks now and have gained 7 pounds. i started wearing maternity pants at about 17 weeks i think
I only gained around 2lbs in my 1st Trimester as well . I was very lucky that I did not need to wear maternity clothes through out my pregnancy . What I did was just go up a size in clothing mainly in shorts and jeans from a 4/5 to a 7 Jr’s . As far as the shirts everything was baby doll style so I was able to wear them all through the summer. I only gained 18lbs through my pregnancy with healthy eating and exercise.
Remember everyone is different . Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy
i didnt gain any weight in the first trimester but i was bigger to begin with. I was in maternity trousers at about 14 weeks because i hated having anything tight on my stomach and about 22 weeks i think in tops i needed maternity tops just because of the extra length. Congratulations
I’d gained nothing in the first trimester, i’d lost it cos of my morning sickness. I had to start wearing maternity trousers around 16 weeks, and it’s only recently i’m having to buy maternity tops because my pre-pregnancy ones don’t fit over my bump anymore
lol, gives me an excuse to pinch my boyfriend’s tops 
I didn’t gain any weight at all my first trimester, even though I didn’t have morning sickness. I’m almost 32 weeks along right now and have gained a total of 16 pounds.
I could wear all my regular clothes until week 18 or 19, which is when my pants were too tight. I bought a bella band, which is like a tube top you wear around your waist over unbuttoned pants – it rocks!! This is my first pregnancy, and even though I’m petite, I didn’t start showing until sometime around week 24. That’s when I went shopping for maternity clothes. I’ve worn maternity pants since week 24, but I can still wear lots of non-maternity shirts. Anything that is stretchy or else loose-fitting still works.
Something to keep in mind is that every woman’s body is different. What is healthy and ‘normal’ varies from person to person.
1st pregnancy: 3 pounds in first trimester, 38 pounds over all.
2nd pregnancy: 0, I didn’t gain weight until I was six months along
3rd pregnancy: 6, over all 49 pounds (she was a big baby!)
4th pregnancy: 2, and I’m still pregnant but so far I’ve gained 25 pounds and I’m due in Jan.
I only wore maternity clothes the last two months of all of my pregnancies except for this one. My husband’s co-workers’ wives had a bunch and gave them to me when I got pregnant this time. They’re really cute and they were free!
