maternity clothes

I know there was a post about this 2 weeks ago, but i figure a lot can change in 2 weeks.
I think I am behind most of you, since my due date is August 29. I am 10 weeks today and am having a terrible time with clothing. My regular pants are squeezing the cr@p out of me. I think that may be why I am so short-tempered at work :) My "fat" pants (1 size up) are no good because I've lost a few pounds so while they fit the waist, they look ridiculous everywhere else. that leaves maternity pants. I am only 10 weeks along!! Did any of you have to start wearing them so early? Are you wearing them now? I tried on a pair i dug out, and it's kinda baggy but quite comfortable. I refuse to put the big belly paneled pants on so early, but i am tempted to switch to the below-the-belly styles. Last time, i wasn't this big until 4 months. I remember being so excited for when i finally "showed" last time. This time, i wish I could hide it longer!!!

This is my third. With the first two, I didn't show until about five months. I actually *never had to wear maternity clothes with my daughter, and I started wearing them at 5 or 6 months with my son. This time, I started wearing them at about ten weeks. I couldn't believe it...I kept resisting but, like you, I was so uncomfortable I finally gave in. I still haven't gained one single pound - but my gut is already out past my breasts...lol. I'll be 14 weeks on Monday. So...I guess I have to look at the bright side...showing earlier means special attention for longer...lol.
