FFTC: I tried on a bazillion pairs of maternity jeans yesterday at Old Navy (PSA they were 40% off yesterday) and I basically hate all maternity pants.

It's going to be a sad, sad day when my regular skinny jeans stop fitting.

I never did maternity jeans bc every pair I tried on was hideous. I went with the rubber band your regular jeans method for awhile and then eventually did belly bands with all my regular pants for the rest of the pregnancy. Worked out nicely and I saved a lot of money not having to buy a bunch of new pants. I did get maternity leggings though bc you can't unbutton regular leggings

I bought one pair of maternity pants last time and ended up using a belly band quite a bit, but then it got warm and NO MORE PANTS!  I wore skirts and maxis all summer last time, and I'm planning on the same this time.

Yeah I tried on a pair of leggings but they too didn't stay up - they were too small though, and ON didn't have any bigger sizes. Mat jeans are a definite no for now, there just isn't anything to keep them up

Question? When should I worry about weight loss and my inability to eat 90% of food? I jumped on the scale last night and have lost 5 pounds. I'm eating what and when I can but it just isn't a lot. I know some of you are having a worse time (sorry!) but I don't know if I should be worried or call my nurse.

Call the nurse. That's the point of weight loss that my docs started worrying about me.

[NariaDreaming]

Just got home. Baby looks great. Heart rate of 181. Hopefully this tides me over until my NT scan in two weeks

[arimaythea]

NariaDreaming, my goodness with all the bleeding scares, I'm so sorry you are going through that on top of HG. So happy to hear that baby's doing fine!

[bootsorhearts]

NariaDreaming thinking of you! Hope everything is ok.

caitost21 I would not worry but call the nurse and see what she says. Have they given you nausea meds to try? As long as you can keep liquids down you should be fine. Take your vitamins, eat what you can. Hope it gets better soon.

[kj808]

NariaDreaming, I can completely commiserate with you on the bleeding. My dr had me go to the ER on Saturday because I was gushing blood. Stupid SCH. Thankfully my baby is fine and i'm glad to hear all is well on your end too

[thatgirlrachel]

Finally got notice that our campus is closed tomorrow. And I currently have the Damn Delicious shrimp boil in the oven. It's a good night.

[racegurl87]

Well hello nausea, it's been a few days but welcome back... I guess.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

+1 for stomach sleeping over here. I need to get my Snoogle from the attic. It really was the best investment I made last time

NariaDreaming so glad your appt went well today!

[danvers]

The nausea is getting worse. It was awful today and all I could do to not dry heave or puke in front of my students. I do not remember it getting worse with DD at this point... ugh.

I LOVE my old navy maternity jeans. But I only have one pair and they were from a resale shop so I'm not sure they even make them anymore. But I love them and would wear them everyday. Love.

NariaDreaming I'm so glad everything is ok with you and baby. FX for an uneventful two weeks to the NT scan!

[cougarette]

I loved my Old Navy maternity jeans too. I need to get them out of the attic!

I just don't think the ON jeans work for my body type, and certainly not right now. Every pair I tried on spent most of its time hanging out with the inseam about 5 inches below my crotch. No thanks.

I feel like you and I are built similar. I had one pair of boot cut and one pair of skinny jeans from ON last pregnancy but I never quite filled them out. They were always a little big. I'm seriously considering investing in a belly band for this go around.

i have ON mat pants from ds. And the crotch is way too big on me as well. I have 1 pair of non mat jeans from them. I despise them. I regret buying them.

I need low rise pants. I have no crotch. But a DERRIERE the size of Texas. So pants shopping is not fun.

For slender/not curvy ladies: My unicorn maternity skinny jeans from last time were the Jessica Simpson jeans from Motherhood with the fully belly panel. Perfect fit, so comfy. Can't wait to put them on again. I also had a pair from H&M that fit well in the butt and legs but the belly panel wasn't as good.

[racegurl87]

I got my maternity jeans from Gap and they were the same style that my regular jeans are (which have now been discontinued and it makes me sad/angry). But since it gets 100+ here I won't be using them until end of 3rd tri/after delivery when the weather gets cool. I'm sol for summer and I hate wearing dresses/skirts

[duskymonkey]

NariaDreaming, Naria jeez! You can't seem to catch a break. Glad that all is well with baby. Hoping everything will start to calm down for you soon. Hang in there!

Another tummy sleeper here! It felt like forever when I was able to sleep on my tummy again cos pregnancy with DS + nursing for 1+ yr - leaky boobage so get ready for not being able to tummy sleep for a while for ladies whom are planning to nurse.
I need to see this snoggle because my typical sleeping apparatus is a bolster - see linky. It's sort of like a body pillow except it's cylinder. I had one which "grew" with me as an infant lol! So even DS has well... 2 now! and he sleeps with it. This helps me side sleep and relieves pressure off my hips on a daily basis too.

[duskymonkey]

Oh by the way the cost of the bolster of the link is utterly ridiculous! It's such a rip off! We stuff it with the same stuff of like...FREE! There's a Kapok tree growing somewhere always spewing cotton.

littleowl913, Great news on your glucose test!

Uh oh! I just ordered the ON pair of skinny jeans! Guess if they don't fit well it's going back. I like their Rockstar skinny though and they fit me well but I am pretty much done with them. I never got jeans the last time instead I got cords from Gap that I could wear to work and I prob should've bought a size smaller cos they were just a bit big so yes to buying mat size to your usual size - I didn't know then and bought everything a size larger. I usually wear a belly band over my maternity pants to "hold them up" or they tend to slip down so you could try that? I broke out my mat work pant yesterday and it was still too big but I am so uncomfortable in my regular pants so we may be in this weird between sizes phase. Luckily a GF of mine gave me a bunch of her mat clothes since we were similar sized and short to boot so it was pretty awesome.SaveSaveSaveSave
