Do I need to keep my big clothes

[slimmy120 2]

Have gone from a size 22 to 14, getting to 12 soon hopefully. Trying to get preganant, which of my old clothes and what size do I keep, Friend said the trousers are no good keeping as will too big in the legs? What size tops, dresses, skirts etc do I keep. Or do I just keep jackets and tops?? confused as dont want to spend heaps.Not pregnant yet but practicing to get there,practice is fun.

hey there,

good luck on falling pg!

You won't want to keep any of your pants as you'll mainly grow in your tummy and hips so larger pants will just look saggy baggy around your crotch and bum - not very attractive at all, lol. As for tops, it all depends on how you carry. I went through both my pregnancies wearing very few maternity clothes and mainly just stretchy tops in my normal size or just 1 size larger. I would probably keep some nice big, comfy tops for around the house, perhaps even some trackies come to think of it, but for going out in public I really wouldn't go with anything larger than 1 size above what you would normally wear.

Hope at least some of that made sense for you.

Thanx for all your advice, yes it makes sense, out with the old clothes, well as you said majority of them. Best of luck on getting pregnant again, hopefully a girl this time eh?

I would keep your 14- and 16's I have grown back into mine with this pg and they look fine. My smaller ones got very uncomfortable about 5 weeks into the pg, I am now going on 14 and still have not gained a pound but i couldnt feel comfortable in my smaller size stuff. I am glad a still had mine. As for tops I am still in my regular at this point but I am sure I will be getting maternity later on.

No this is my 3rd, which does make a difference, but we all go thru that stage where we look chunky before we look pg!
