I was "lucky" this pregnancy in that I was down to my lowest weight in a long, long time prior to becoming pregnant, which meant that I had my old "non-maternity" clothes to work my way up through prior to having to start wearing maternity clothes. I call that luck because everyone knows your wardrobe becomes severely limited when you cross over into maternity land. How many clothes can you really justify buying when you know you're going to get like 5-6 months use out of them tops. So, I've been in regular clothes up until now. In fact, a couple pairs of my work pants are still a touch big so I'm anticipating I'll be wearing those normally for a few more weeks.
But the cross over is starting. Other than those 2 pairs of work pants, the rest of my pants have crossed over into the "ponytail holder over the button" trick or the use of a Bella Band to be able to leave them unbuttoned and have them stay up. I'd been milking out a few of my longer non-maternity shirts as well, but over the weekend I put on one of my new maternity shirts (I bought a few in smalls this pregnancy so that I would have some to wear for these middle months) and it was so nice not to have to tug on it all day long that I anticipate many more shirts will be making their way out into daylight soon.
I have found it to be very true that maternity clothes make you look infinitely more pregnant than regular clothes. And that's A-Okay.
