Yes its quite common to need looser clothes this early on, just wear what you feel comfortable in

When I was 8 weeks pregnant I was only comfortable in loose clothes as well. I think that was mostly because I had horrible morning sickness all day and I couldn't stand anything near my stomach. I didn't have to go buy maternity clothes until I was about 14 weeks (beginning of the 2nd trimester). Then when I bought maternity clothes I no longer looked/felt fat! It is so awesome when you finally look pregnant. :)

Very normal :)
Your body is changing already! My "skinny" jeans didn't fit me very well at 8 weeks. And this is just the beginning of the bloated-ness....so get comfy!
I started wearing maternity clothes around four and a half months in both of my pregnancies -(none of my "chubby" clothes were fitting right anymore) and wow are they so much more comfortable.

I had bloating issues early on w/ both my children. I had to start wearing looser clothing nearly right away. It did go down, however. I can't remember when, but I was able to wear regular clothes briefly before I "popped" and started having to wear maternity clothes for real.

You can buy maternity clothes at any point. Target has alot of different sizes...but most of all they have loose cute clothing..that lets your belly breath...but you can still look cute or sexy if you want!!!
Since I am 27, and still dress young...I went to stores and just bought the shirts that are style that are more empire waist...they are cute on!!! Just dont buy to much...bc eventually your boobs will grow that you will not get into the same size. I went from a small to a medium before my belly even grew...bc my boobs were popping out!!!
Buy maternity clothes anytime...just be careful what you pay for them...bc you will probably grow out of them!!!
Good luck!!!

Wear whatever is comfortable! Go ahead into maternity clothes! They'll probably be too loose right now, but you can buy Bella Bands,which are stretchy elastic things that go around your belly and keeps your pants up! You can also use tube tops for this,just put around your waist!

this is my second baby, I'm 10 weeks, and i can barely fit into my jeans. even at 8 weeks they weren't very comfortable anymore. so, yes, you're normal! go ahead and shop for maternity pants... but only buy a couple pairs, because you may need a larger size/different fit later in your pregnancy. you'll feel so much better in clothes that are made for your growing belly! congrats!

its so normal and annoying. I hate my jeans but i'm not big enough to wear matenity clothes I can't wear sweats all day cuz I do have to look professional for my job. I went to target and got some maternity pants. They have different sizes and different phases for when you are barely showing to full on showing and I went to mimi maternity and got a belly band but I hate stuff touching my stomach so I really wear skirts that are elastic. Its really frustrating if you have to dress up everyday. I wouls love to wear sweats. good luck!!

From what I learned that is all in the head. I understand bloating but its not becuase you are growing already, I wouldnt start buying maternity clothes till you are about 5 months pregnant cause you will never now how big you will get. Ask your Dr about some bloat medicine!

I started wearing maternity pants at 9 weeks because it was more comfortable. Totally normal. Time for you to go shopping!! :)

Wear whatever is comfortable all women are different. Some need loose clothes, some need supportive tighter clothes and some need a mix. So just do what is best for you.
