During every one of my pregnancies, I had such a hard time dressing myself during the end of the first trimester and most of the second.
Depending on your body, you can spend a lot of that time with a slight-to-medium bump...but you still have a way to go before you get the full bump that requires a new wardrobe.
I don't like the idea of spending money on clothes that will fit me for just two months. But many of us still have to go to work or school or other places that don't let us wear our pajamas all day (sometimes adulting is no fun at all). So for those days, I'm sharing a few hacks to help you extend your wardrobe until you're ready to pick up some maternity pieces.
These also work in those early postpartum days while your body readjusts -- you may not fit into the clothes you were wearing right at the end of your pregnancy, but you're probably not going to fit into your old clothes right away either. You can find three genius ideas right here in this video:
1. Use a bra extender
Ever come home from a long day at work, unclipped your bra, and had it shoot across the room like it was springloaded because it was on too tight" Um. Me neither. But if you were to have this, or a similar problem, as things shift and grow and change, a bra extender can be a lifesaver! It's cheaper than buying new lingerie, and it allows you to actually breathe again. (Petutu Bra Extender 9-pack; Amazon, $7.99)

2. Use a waist extender
I can't reme...
