komanthi,
if it's yr 1st bb, try to hold out as long as possible before buying maternity clothes. for my 1st pregnancy i could continue wearing all my work pants except cannot button the top button, so i just wear longer, looser tops to cover over. used that method until pants really cannot wear already then invest in maternity pants, that was around 5 mths already, but still continue to wear my regular long loose tops. only around end of 2nd tri then i bought some maternity tops.
my reasoning is cos i dunno how big i will balloon until. didn't want to hv to invest in 2 sets of maternity clothes.
nisa,
in early pregnancy if u can't drink milk then still ok. but in 2nd tri onwards if u still can't drink milk then do tell yr gynae to prescribe calcium pills for u. bb will not hv a prob but will be drawing calcium from u. if u dun supplement with enough calcium wait next time old liao get osteoporosis
