You can buy bigger clothes and cover up your expanding belly. I'm sure you will find cute clothes that will make you look beautiful while pregnant. Good luck!!

i’m 27 and don’t wear women’s clothing, i still wear juniors and i haven’t bought any maternity shirts while pregnant. i just started buying one size larger shirts and making sure they were stretchy around the belly or that they flowed at the bottom. there actually are some VERY cute and comfortable maternity jeans out there. i have a pair of seven maternity jeans that are awesome. also the brand “momi” has some cute ones. so, you absolutely don’t have to wear ugly maternity clothes, you just have to be creative.

Have you seen the movie Juno? Her kind stepmother gets all her cool tight jeans, cuts the belly fronts out and sews in stretch fabric panels. You could do that! The regular low cut tight jeans might be a bit tight and squishy and not safe for the baby.

ok, you can wear normal clothes, but if you buy bigger sizes they wont fit you everywhere else you'll look like a huge frump. maternity clothes are designed to look and feel the same as normal clothes just giving you the extra space and stretchy material around the belly. you can buy a belly band to put on you pants, skirts etc but there's lots of nice stuff around and there not all just for ''woman'' just look around on the internet you'lll find some really nice stuff. also, just because you small doesn't mean you wont get big, it all depends on your baby not how skinny you already are,so don't assume you wont need maternity clothes. you still fit normal clothes (except for the belly area) for pants like i said you can use a belly band, but will need a long top to cover it, and you probably will need proper tops as the time goes on, normal tops on pregnant woman look ridiculous when its showing half there belly because it doesnt fit. maternity clothes should be the least of your worries, all you need to focus on is having a healthy happy baby and pregnancy not worrying about your fashion.

I wear my husband’s t-shirts all the time, mostly because they are comfortable for my big belly! But yes, I have quite a few baby doll shirts I have found in Target and what not that still fit very well, just remember that your belly will grow to unholy proportions, and the smaller you are the bigger it will look! At 31 weeks I still fit into SOME babydoll shirts that I have, but I did have to splurge on quite a few maternity shirts to cover the rest of my wardrobe. I also bought 2-3 pair of maternity pants, they may be ugly with the elastic waistband, but they are so much more comfortable than regular pants. I do have about 2 pair of pants from pre-pregnancy that i still can wear, simply because they are cut low and can fit under my belly.

Good luck

You don't have to wear maternity clothes, you can buy big size clothes that fit you comfortably, it's up to you.

Wait until you know if you are pregnant, and are starting to not fit your pants. I wear big t shirts, and some maternity shirts that are nice. You can get maternity pants that stretch around your tummy and fit comfortable, jeans and cargo pants too. My cousin bought everything like she normally would, just bigger. It can look sloppy though.
