Anyone else in maternity clothes yet?

I am so bummed. With my first two kids, I didn't need maternity clothes until I was about five months. But, I couldn't stand it anymore, and went and bought some last night. I can't believe it. THEY FIT. And I look SO PREGNANT. Yet, I haven't gained even one pound. I mean, I'm already heavy...but I didn't look pregnant before. Now my belly is HUGE and firm. Why so soon? Is anyone else having this? I'm just ten weeks on Monday. Of course, there is a possibility I'm having twins...I should find out Monday. At my first sono at 8 weeks, the MD thought she saw two heartbeats. I guess that could explain the huge gut, huh? LOL.

I am 10 weeks and def. starting to show quite a bit...but all I can say is I love low rise jeans right now LOL!  I have gained 2 pounds but my belly looks like it has an extra 15 pounds in it.  I am going to wait for my appointment tomorrow and see if everything is still going well...and then I think I have another size of jeans higher in my closet, then its on to materninty pants...and to be honest...I can't wait to go maternity shopping!  I hear Old Navy is a great place to shop for them!

I have a cute pouch, lower stomach!! I'm still wearing my ordinary clothes just with a sticking out tum!! I'll probably end up like the size of a house with it being twins!!

I'm 9wks5days and don't fit into my pants at all. I can hardly even use the rubberbands to keep my jeans closed. I am going to go next week and get some maternity jeans. Not the ones with the huge belly cover but the ones that has a small band around the the lower belly.

I feel your pain sister!! LOL With my daughter I didn't start wearing actual maternity clothes until I was atleast 6 mths......NOW however I am 6w2d and have the wonderful pooch and have to do the rubberband through the loop on my jeans because any pressure on my belly makes me even more quesy (plus I feel like I'm suffocating my lil sweet pea)....One of my clients told me today that she always remembered her doctor telling her....pregnancy is like bras, the first is nice and tight the ones to follow are nice and broken in.....Good luck to you!!!  Pregnant bellies are beautiful, enjoy it ;)

Yeah I've went and bought maternity clothes. I had my first u/s on the 31st. I was 8.5 wks. I just started wearing them. Just my pants were getting way too tight around my belly. I forgot how expensive maternity clothes were. I didn't really have to buy any with my first.
