Ok, so I went to the beach this weekend....nearby there just happens to be a GAP factory store that just happens to have a maternity section.

I bought a few maternity clothes by 6 weeks when I was pregnant the first time because I was so excited, so don't feel bad. I don't think there is anything wrong with that! This time around, I have been only in maternity pants for the past 2 or 3 weeks, and I just started wearing some of my maternity shirts over the weekend. My belly is poking out enough to make me look chunky if I wear a fitted shirt, but not enough that people who don't know would think I'm pregnant. It sounds like the same situation you have with shirts.

There's nothing wrong with getting the shopping started early, and you certainly aren't alone! I would have stocked up at the Gap outlet too :)

Leslie,

You're not alone, I had to buy a couple things myself. I have a hard time fitting into my clothing. I live about 30 minutes away from an outlet and I made Rob (dh) come with him. Then I through a huge fit because I couldn't find anything that liked and told him I'm not leaving without something and if I can't find something he has to go to mall with me. I did end up finding something. Thank goodness, but I tried on a pair of pants this morning, a pair I felt like wearing and it was so tight and uncomfortable. I totally don't mind. LOL

You're not the only one!! I am still fitting into all my pre-preg stuff (I'm only 12 weeks) but I've bought a few things. I'm sure it won't be long. I was trying to think back to last year when I was preg and due in the smae month, when I needed to start wearing maternity stuff. I think it was well into May, so I am ready to start shopping big time!! LOL DH says I can go buy a bunch of clothes if I want when we get home (we travel a lot for his job and have been gone three weeks). I can't wait. I've been surfing Nordstrom and A Pea in the Pod's websites. I know what I want!! LOL
