Alright, I gave in. I went yesterday and bought 2 pieces of maternity clothing. Tired of attempting to walk around with unbuttoned jeans (it works, but then I have strange pokey forms marring the bottom of my shirt) I gave in and bought a maternity jean skirt and a pair of maternity jeans, both with the nice round fabric belly panel. The jeans fit SO well that I'm frightened that they won't last long. I tried on the large (only SM, M and L in the maternity world) and they were just so ill fitting every place else, that I couldn't bring myself to do it.
But I'm glad I did it. Winter's coming (LA winter - ha!) and I might need some long pants at some point. I was just tired of having to wear dresses every second. And my wardrove shrinks day by day. I think I'm going to start a box of unwearables, and just hide all the stuff that I cannot wear from myself to make it easier in the morning. The dance of pulling up pants and then getting stuck there is old. And after having lost so much weight in France that I took my old size 8 fat pants and tossed them, keeping only the 6 fat pants and some 4's, I screwed myself. I also gave away my really big, old mommy jeans about 2 years ago, so none of that - although that's a blessing. Size notwithstanding, they are just so outdated in color and shape that I knew I'd never wear them regardless.
I still do need a good pair of sweatpants or jogging pants that don't lend towards camel-toe or any other unfortunate wardrove mishap. And some more longer tshirts would be nice. All my tees are now baby tees and I just look sort of round and strange. Not fat, just weirdly shaped - not big enough to be obviously pregnant, but big enough to look strange.
I'm almost through the first trimester, where a lot of people don't even show, but I appear to be about a month bigger than I am due to my fibroid. So I look about 4 months pregnant. I think I might be relieved when I'm finally large enough to be visibly pregnant all the time.
