Maternity Clothes

[satya]

For pants & skirts either get maternity stuff or things with drawstring or elastic waist - sounds daggy I know but you will need them. Stretchy fabric skirts are good too. I wore many of my skirts right through as they were stretchy ones & I just wore them under my bump.

At the stage you are at it's common for you to fit in your normal clothes but you are only just entering the stage where the real growth starts so tailored clothes wont fit for long.

You can get some great cheap maternity clothes from both Big W & Kmart - at least you could when I was pregnant last year.

I wouldn't buy maternity stuff off ebay or anywhere online as I found that the sizing in maternity stuff varied greatly. Much better to try stuff on. Most of the tops I bought during the pregnancy weren't maternity ones but they were just ones that draped well over the belly or were super stretchy.

Maternity tops are good because they are usually longer at the front to cover your bump as it gets larger. Buying a larger size in regular clothes works for some people but if you get a big bump it wont. You need the extra room in the front that the maternity tops have.
