30 + years ago when I was pregnant with my first - a girl. My mother told me to buy a size larger in maternity than I wore normally. (Sizes ran bigger then they do now I think.)

I gained 20 pounds and the maternity clothes fell off me because they were way too big for me to wear. With my second - a boy, I gained close to 70 pounds and I had to borrow moo-moo dresses from a friend to be clothed at all - my maternity clothes were too small after the first 5 or 6 months.

My tummy went out (I could not reach the sink to wash dishes either) but I couldn't buy larger sizes in maternity tops because the rest of me was too small to keep them on - I tried some on and they fell down around my tummy and that is not how I wanted to wear my shirts in public
