Im 38 wks preg. and i just wear regular clothes. All stretch pants because pants with those buttons like jean pants arent good for you. Something loose fitting and comfrontable is all you need. Pants with tie strings that stretch are really nice because you can losen them has you get bigger.
Plus regular cothes are cheaper than maternity.
Doesnt matter how you wear you pants i always felt more comfrontable below my belly button.
I didnt even buy new clothes until my 6 month of pregnancy which is when i gained most of my weight and started showing. I wore my other clothes sometimes i just left my pants unbuttoned people cant see when you wear beggy shirts. I wore my fiance's shirts lol
Why buy a hole bunch of clothes when your not going to be able to wear them later? Know what i mean you could do other stuff with that money.

It is okay to wear regular clothes and not buy maternity clothes, but of course you will be going up a few sizes. As for how to wear them, you should not have anything too tight around your stomach, pants should be big enough to fit comfortably or should be worn underneath your stomach.

I have had two children and have never bought any maternity clothes except a nursing bra. I personally think they are a waste of money as you can get by with just wearing bigger, cheaper clothes. Do whatever you want to do, there are no rules and comfort is the most important thing.

I am 16 weeks, and just had to go get some maternity clothes. It is ok to wear your regular clothes, until they are too tight, if they put pressure on your stomach then don't wear them.

You can wear them, but they should not ever be tight or restricting your uterus. Some women with small figures and slip there jeans right below the belly and never need a maternity pant (lucky ones!) but most all will need a few shirts if you don't want the cute belly hanging out at work! Good Luck!

Of course it is ok... you can wear whatever you like. Oversized shirts work great. The pants maybe a bit problem, because the bigger sizes tend to much baggier too, and may not hold your belly when it gets very big, because normal pants stops around the waist, and you won't have one! You need maternity pants to either cover your belly, or the ones that can hold just below. Or you can wear oversized skirts instead.

For my pregnancies I usually wore overalls, sweat suits or anything comfortable that wasnt tight around my belly. You dont want to squish the little bundle of joy. Wear what you feel good in. It is not a must that you spend money on clothes you wont wear to long. Best wishes

I didn't really wear maternity clothes I mostly wore like sweatpants and stretchy pants. Anything with an elastic band in it. I just wore them like regular clothes. Just as long as it isn't to tight it is fine.

Maternity clothes are a waste of money! Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in.

Ok i can promise you that if you dont buy them you will grow out of your regualar clothes now you can still wear them as long as they are not to tight but after that no more. Or if maternity clothes are too expensive just buy bigger sizes or mens clothes always worked for me too.
