Question

I'm just starting my pregnancy journey, and my usual clothes are already feeling a bit tight. What kind of clothes are comfortable and suitable to wear in early pregnancy?

I'm in my 10th week now and honestly, my regular jeans are already pinching me. Are you guys also shifting to maternity leggings this early or am I just bloated?

Preeti Soni · Answer

Stick to loose cotton clothes because your body temperature can fluctuate and you might feel bloated. No need for maternity wear yet, just buy one size up in regular clothes.

Enjoy this phase, it goes by so fast! Back then, I just wore my regular Anarkali suits and soft maxis. They look beautiful and don't press your bloating tummy at all.

I was so confused in my first trimester because my stomach was bloating but not showing. I mostly wore loose dresses. Did anyone else feel weirdly self-conscious about looking bloated rather than pregnant?

Haan, starting me tightly fitted jeans bilkul avoid karo na! Elastic waist pants or simple kurtis are the best and most comfortable.

In early pregnancy, pick loose pants that don't press on your lower tummy. Trust me, getting used to high-waisted, soft elastic bottoms now will also help a lot later if you end up having a C-section.

Honestly, wear whatever doesn't make you want to cry. I literally spent my early pregnancy in my husband's oversized boxers and loose t-shirts, comfort is everything.

Don't waste money on expensive maternity brands right now, we have so many hospital bills and scan costs coming up. Just buy loose cotton nighties or adjust with your husband’s t-shirts for home wear.
