Clothes shopping advice needed!

RussianMommy

This is my first pregnancy. As I quickly learned at 9 weeks when going out for my wedding anniversary, my clothes are tight! I thought I could get away with them for awhile longer bit because I have grown so much in the chest, my shirts are tight!

I've gone into the ONE maternity store in town but their clothes are made for women with bellies. So, my question is..... Whenever I finally get over feeling like sh!t, I think I may just buy regular clothes. But whatever fits me, should I just buy the next size up??

Also, since the majority of my pregnancy will be in the winter, do you think I will need heavy sweaters or will just being pregnant keep me warm? I already feel like a walking furnace.

Or should I just go ahead buy maternity clothes?? I should note that I'm 5 feet tall with a really short torso, so I imagine I'm going to get BIG!!
