Week 21 - Rapid growth

This week the belly is constantly getting bigger and the time of hiding is gone I guess. So it's probably best to dress it in tighter stretchy material from now on. Black is a good option for making it look less obvious too.

Week 20 - Show it or hide it?

This week I told another one of my colleagues that I was pregnant. She couldn't believe it. When asked if they hadn't noticed my little belly she responded they had only noticed that my bum was bigger than before... Thank you, girls!

Week 19 - Maternity trousers

This week I have switched to maternity trousers (see second image). I must admit that they are a lot more comfy. But on the other hand they tend to slowly move down which I find quite annoying. But I guess that's the compromise you have to make...

Week 18 - It's popped...

My belly really starts popping out now. I put on one kilo in one week! But in my new CK shirt (see the photo in the middle) it's still not so obvious. The grey pants are one of the last pants of my pre-pregnant wardrobe. They are getting tight now. But I bought another pair of black jeans two sizes bigger than usual. They are low cut and fit under the belly. So they have to get me through the next months. And once they don't fit anymore either there are still tights and dresses...

Week 17 - Stretch cord pants

Because I was so frustrated about maternity jeans (who wants to spend 200 US$ for a pair of jeans that don't fit well and look boring?) I bought a pair of stretch cord pants from ZARA two sizes bigger than what I usually wear. This will last for a couple of months I hope and afterwards I can probably wear my husband's pants. And they only cost me a fraction of the maternity jeans. Instead I invested in a CK jumper (the black one in the last photo) and a dress that I will still be able to wear after giving birth ...

Week 16 - A little belly

The belly is getting bigger now. But I still have one pair of low cut jeans that fits underneath the belly. Stretchy items like jumpers and tees grow with the belly. So no need to buy maternity clothes for the upper body. You can find lots of other items that are a lot cheaper and more stylish. And wide shirts will also do for a few more weeks.

Week 15 - Little dresses and wide shirts

Again my little dresses plus tights. And floating shirts are also good for hiding a little belly.

Week 14 - Floating style

I found this dress/jumper at H&M. The wide floating style hides a lot but the tight waistband adds some shape.

Week 13 - Still not much change

Again the little black stretch dress. This time with boots.

Week 11 - Not much to see yet

Still not much to see... This week I tended to wear dresses with a little bit of space around the waistline.

Week 10 - Getting started

Now I have switched to all my elastic clothes. You can't really see the belly yet but most of my old trousers don't fit anymore. So I have only four trousers or so left over...

Week 0 - Not pregnant

I really miss that skirt, but the waist is very high and tight, so this one had to be stored away very early...
