The truth: They might feel uncomfortable, but no, tight clothes won't hurt baby, Prabhu says.
A woman's body undergoes many changes due to hormonal effects during pregnancy to support the uterus. Hormonal activity loosens up ligaments, and increases the capacity of the chest and abdominal cavity. The wearing of tight clothes can therefore interfere with these physical changes and cause discomfort.
Avoid tight jeans: During the second and third trimester, the baby bump becomes very prominent. And this is the time when most women prefer wearing tight jeans to hide the baby bump, which is not advisable. If you still want to wear one, you can opt for large sizes as the baby bump will increase with time.
Prolonged standing or heavy lifting can cause an increased chance of miscarriage or preterm delivery (premature birth). Changes in a pregnant woman's hormones impact ligaments and joints in the spine to accommodate the developing baby.
Most miscarriages - 8 out of 10 (80 percent) - happen in the first trimester before the 12th week of pregnancy. Miscarriage in the second trimester (between 13 and 19 weeks) happens in 1 to 5 in 100 (1 to 5 percent) pregnancies. Pregnancy loss that happens after 20 weeks is called stillbirth.

It's best to avoid anything too tight or clingy, particularly around the stomach area. Although you may not be showing, you can feel bloated. Stick with relaxed shirts or tops, tunics, a-line shirts and wrap dresses.
Is wearing jeans safe during pregnancy? It's completely safe to wear jeans during pregnancy. No studies and no scientific evidence indicate that tight pants like jeans might cause issues to the baby. You can still wear regular jeans during early pregnancy if you don't feel any discomfort.
During the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, the womb will be inside the pelvis. The answer to the above question lies in observing and listening to your body. As long as you are comfortable, you don't have to change your clothing style. But stop wearing tight jeans as soon as you feel slight discomfort.
Your nausea and vomiting may be worse than ever: Morning sickness peaks around 9 or 10 weeks of pregnancy for many women. That's when levels of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are highest (morning sickness is thought to be linked to rises in hCG and estrogen).
Your mother's pregnancy is 9 weeks pregnant. Many mothers feel that clothes are getting tight, as the 9th week of the mother's uterus is expanding to accommodate the growing embryos. In fact, It's expanding to one-fold! The belly is starting to puff out this week.

Common First Trimester Miscarriages

What causes a miscarriage at 5 weeks? Miscarriage most commonly occurs during the first trimester (first 12 weeks of pregnancy) due to the following reasons: Genetic abnormalities in the fetus: Chromosomal abnormalities are the most common cause of pregnancy loss during the first trimester.
A: It is possible to experience a miscarriage without bleeding or spotting. Other signs that a person may be experiencing a miscarriage include cramps, pain, loss of pregnancy symptoms and passing discharge, which may be stringy and/or whitish-pink in colour. Any, all or none of these symptoms may be present.
The most conclusive way of finding out is to have an ultrasound done by your doctor or midwife to see baby's heartbeat. I say "most" conclusive, because even with an ultrasound, if you are early in your pregnancy, it can be difficult to see or detect a heartbeat with 100% accuracy.
The term refers to a pregnancy in which there is some level of bleeding, but the cervix remains closed and the ultrasound shows that the baby's heart is still beating.
Symptoms of a miscarriage
The main sign of a miscarriage is vaginal bleeding, which may be followed by cramping and pain in your lower abdomen. If you have vaginal bleeding, contact a GP or your midwife. Most GPs can refer you to an early pregnancy unit at your local hospital straight away if necessary.
