Oh, CA I wasn’t fitting into all my old clothes. Within the first 8 weeks, I couldn’t wear my pants (eventho I had lost weight!). Pants in particular I was having trouble with and I got a few maternity pants and those Bella bands early on. But I did not get any maternity tops, other than the ones I mentioned. I made due by buying mediums rather than smalls and wearing kurtis and other looser styles as needed.
I did wear saris mostly to desi formal events by the end of the pregnancy. I’m lucky to have mom and mil nearby. MIL’s blouses were actually most comfy during pregnancy, so I would borrow her saris :D. I was able to wear some of mine, but I had to keep the bottom hooks opened, so no chiffon saris (
) and very careful pinning!
