Besides Target, where does everyone buy most of their maternity clothes?
I am looking for shorts mainly- we are going to Disney over Labor Day and I'll be 16 weeks. My current shorts are only fitting if I do the hairband trick, so I will need something new by 16 weeks. I'm worried maternity shorts won't fit yet though- when you were a FTM when did you start wearing maternity clothes?
I am someone that wears a lot of color and pattern so most of the maternity clothes I've seen so far aren't really my style- it makes me a little sad!

I am a LuLaRoe consultant/addict and I lived in LLR last pregnancy, I plan on doing the same this time around! I basically wear Carlys every day of the summer, I will throw leggings under them when winter comes and I also love Perfect Tees/Randys and leggings for colder weather. People on my last BMB also raved about Pink Blush. Sometimes Zulily has cute stuff, too! ETA: I just read your bit about shorts too, I think I started wearing maternity jeans around 16 weeks the first time but you could always buy a belly band to help with the transition!

I need a product recommendation. Ever since I found out I was pregnant my forehead has been super dry and flaky. Only my forehead. I need a really good moisturizer to use on that area. It's not a good look when I put makeup over it each day because it looks worse. Anyone have a heavy duty moisturizer that they love? I'm looking on Sephora right now but there are way too many choices. i don't typically have dry skin so a regular moisturizer usually is enough for me, but every once in a while I get those dry patches. I have a small thing if Clinique overnight mask that I mix with my regular moisturizer and that does the trick for me. My dry skin is nice a moisturized by morning. I was weirded out by the thought of an "overnight mask" before, but all it is is a really thick moisturizer

This time I've already switched to maternity pants (cause they were already in my closet). I started this pregnancy at a size 14/16 and I'm not showing yet, but my jeans (but not my shorts) were starting to dig into my stomach when I was sitting down.

pinkcat, most of my stuff is from Gap, Old Navy or A pea in the pod. A pea in the pod is pricy but they have great sales. Right now I think sale is an additional 30% off.

But I realized how silly it was when I had the pants already in my closet. No one can tell they are maternity pants and I'm still wearing all of my normal tops.

My maternity pants started fitting well around 20-22 weeks but I had to start wearing them around 18-19 bc my other jeans dug into my stomach. At 15w so far I am still fitting into most regular clothes but I also started this pregnancy smaller than I started my first (probably same weight but more toned & less body fat). I got shorts from Motherhood Maternity, they were on sale bc it was winter when we were shopping!

I don't remember when I started wearing maternity clothing with my first, but I remember trying on maternity jeans and thought "what have I been doing to myself" so I made the switch really early with my last two haha! Like as soon as I felt any sort of bloat come on. It's just so comfy!

I try to find good stuff at consignment shops. Often the maternity wear is in decent shape. Makes sense bc some of my mat clothes I wore 20% of the time but repeated some like 80%. So if you can find that 20% secondhand...

Had some more spotting this morning. Just a tiny amount though, if I hadn't been looking for it I would've missed it. My CM is weird too. Idk how to describe it except weird. The cramps are worrying me too. Sigh I have an appointment at 9:30 tomorrow morning. It can't come quick enough.

I am having some FOMO over all this maternity pants talk ππ I have worn dresses every day this summer and in winter I usually live in leggings. I don't think I have worn jeans or shorts in at least 2 years. I am a weirdo. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk I'm a slob and live in my yoga pants 24/7. No need for maternity pants when I already wear stretchy pants. π

I only recently have been able to stomach coffee, and today I drank two cups for the first time in ages. I think I should stick to one, I'm basically vibrating right now. Congrats on your boy, helloerrbody! I'm in your boat. I would like to have a girl next, but I also think it will be very sweet to see DS have a brother, so I'm happy either way.

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Ummm yes yes and more yes to all. I would take NBX, villains, adult little mermaid. I definitely have at least 4 pairs of Halloween leggings. They are my favorite. I also have 2 pairs of TC leggings in random prints, 3 pairs of OS (it was 4 but my black ones ripped) a perfect tee, a Julia, a Nicole, a classic tee and 2 Irmas. Clearly I have a LLR problem.

I just popped my LLR cherry last week and bought a cassie. It's a really pretty black & white floral pattern. I am definitely not into the crazy prints.
