Put away the maternity pants and take yourself out to Old Navy to get some interim jeans to make you feel normal. Go with a girlfriend you trust. Don’t look at the size, just find something flattering and comfortable.
DO NOT THINK ABOUT OR TALK ABOUT THE WEIGHT YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE IN THE FUTURE. Buy jeans to wear this week. When the day comes, you can put these in storage for the next time around, give them to a friend who is a few months behind you, or wear them when you paint that mural you’ve been talking about.

I whole heartedly agree with this one. I bought some “post-pregnancy” jeans after the birth of my first. It is such a self-esteem booster to not have your gut spilling out of your pants. You will feel less fat wearing jeans that fit well to your current body shape.
Can you believe I did this just 3 days before your post? I got the Old Navy Sweetheart jeans and it looks like they’ve embraced vanity sizing. I was able to buy a size 8…with a gut that might get strangers asking me if #3 is on her way.
They’ve also got some cute trapeze tops that are very forgiving of tummy bulge.
