12-24 weeks pregnant (part 4)

Thanks Faith, you’ve reminded me that I wanted to go to Aldi tomorrow morning. I ordered a few things when the sale started online but some things I wanted were already sold out or in store only.

Over the past week I’ve noticed that my jeans have become much tighter. I still don’t have a bump, I just look like I overindulged at Christmas! I’m not sure whether it’s time for maternity jeans yet or if I should just buy a bigger size for now, any thoughts?

Hi all

Haven’t been on here for a while! Had 12 week scan on NYE and all OK, due date moved by 2 days to the 13th July. I don’t have much of a bump either, just looks like Xmas podge to me. My jeans are definitely tighter though and so been wearing more dresses with tights/leggings. I’m tempted to try on a bigger size jean tomorrow to see how they feel before I move to maternity jeans - don’t feel ready for those yet!!

I have bought a few maternity bits in the sales though to try. Mainly because they were massively reduced (summer dresses) and we are going to Spain for a week in April and will need some lighter clothes.

Also been buying a few bits for baby, mainly clothes but got a Moses bases and a couple of other bits from ALDI yesterday. Trying to rein in the purchasing as well aware things can still go wrong (my friend had a MC at 15 weeks at the weekend) but it’s proving quite difficult...

Thank you Faith


I think the new look maternity jeans are lovely and very comfy Ginger, and they'd last a while if you were to get them now and grow with your bump
I've just been living in bigger sized leggings!

I am SO jealous of all of you I've been in maternity clothes since the first week in December and I was only 9 weeks!!


My mum was the same with me though got big quickly but then it levelled out so fingers crossed that's the same lol



Brought lots of bits in the aldi sale and some in the dunelm sale today and for all my trouble Moshie (nickname for the bump) has paid me back by giving me chronic heartburn at 3am the pass two mornings and it's been constant today at this rate I'm buying shares in indigestion tablets :rotfl:plus if the old wives tale is true about heartburn meaning a hairy baby I think I'm carrying one of Chewbecca's relatives!

Haha, you will have to report back after baby is born Faith to see if it’s true!

I haven’t told work yet, thinking of telling HR in the next couple of weeks but really don’t want to tell my current manager, we don’t exactly get along and she is only interim. Hoping for some more news on our teams situation by the end of the month so will probably tell her then but only if I really have to!
