I'm the complete opposite :( I'm 4.4 feet around my belly already and I'm only 35 weeks. lol so I had to go get new stuff to wear :(

I like men's tank style under shirts. They are long and cover the view of the top of my pants being unbuttoned. If it's cool, you can layer them. If it's hot, wear solo.

I have a few actual maternity things. But I really had to hunt to find stuff that fit my shoulders (broad) and chest (more than 38E right now) without having me swimming in fabric everywhere else. I liked some of the stuff from the Old Navy maternity line. Reasonably flattering and less expensive than the usual boutiques. Good luck finding things you like.

if u cant find the belly band, bcuz it is awesome i had w my first pregnancy n didnt reaqlly fit into maternity bottoms till the last 2mnths! so get a tight tub top black n make it look like a cami under ur shirt over ur pants that r unbuttoned, i found walmart to b my shoppin store cheap not wear for long. Long tees or tanks n if they were snug it was showin my belly off to me.

I have the same problem, I already was too small to fit into women's clothes before I was pregnant and now I am almost 7 months and I still can't fit into a xs/s maternity outfit. It is really hard to find places that sell small stuff. I still wear my own pants with a belly band and luckily the baggier tops have been in style so I just buy those....like the ones that are baggy and get tight at the bottom. Those clothes have worked well for me. I also buy small or extra small maternity pants, but again they are really loose and barely stay up. Someone told me to check out Old Navy, but I guess at this point I am just dealing oh well only three more months of akward fitting clothes....

Aww, honey it will come. how far along ar you? I was so anxious for mine and every now and then I get people still tellin me how little I am, although Im 8 months, which is like my new found pet peeve. You can go to a store called motherhood if you are in America, its pretty much nationwide I think. They had something for me and i was 130 and I'm 5'9, so if you are normal height they should definitely have some tolerable pants for you. I like the Big Star, Lucky, Maggie jeans but they dont cater to preggo girls, a**holes, lol. Motherhood maternity pants are not the cute and form fitting ones like in the magazines. but they are long enough and they are tight enough. as far as shirts, I usually wore a small or extra small, so simply going up to a medium and large in some cases, did me just fine. I hate maternity shirts, well the one's Ive seen. I still want to be cute I dont want to look like im a 35 year old soccer mom, sorry. Aeropostale has cute shirts and yoga pants that are form fitting however. Hope that helps.

I found a band type thing at motherhood maternity. Its designed for your pants if you are inbetween. Like you I have a belly (expecting twins) which all the weight I have gained is just them and most maternity pants are too big. Hope this helps

I like to get the shirts that have the gather under the breasts and then flow outward going towards the waist. Somehow this cut looks very nice on pregnant ladies and doesn't look awkward. I found this accidentally with this pregnancy. I put one of these shirts on because I had an appointment and needed to look nice and was praying that it would even fit. Turned out it looked great and was a nice accent to my pregnant belly. If you can find some of these that are a little longer, you can wear leggings under them and they look very nice too. Good luck!!
