Anyone else in need of maternity clothes already?

I am almost 11 weeks and already completely uncomfortable in my clothes.  I've been trying to keep it a secret but I look pregnant.  This is my 5th pregnancy but only 3rd baby if all goes well.  I know they say it happens earlier with each one but I feel huge already.  Is anyone else starting to look pregnant yet?

I feel your pain everyone.. I was just bi+ching about that to my hubby this morning..

My boobs have grown so big, most of my bra's make my bulge out or the straps wont stay up due to the weight... I havent gained a singe pound and should be around 7-8weeks along, but man my pants are snug. I just bought some new shirts to fit me length wise and now they are too big on the top cause I am not that wide!

Ugh.. I hate clothes shopping as much as I hate wearing these uncomfortable clothes. I have been so sick, I am surprised I havent lost weight.

I have lost weight so not yet but I do prefer comfy pants over jeans.

happynifer- I hear ya on the IVF bloat. I too was in maternity fairly soon after IVF, and I lived in yoga pants during the stims.

I started wearing maternity pants at 5 or 6 weeks.  My jeans weren't comfortable anymore and it felt like were digging into my stomach.  I can wear most of my normal shirts still (10 weeks) but I like having the extra room in the maternity shirts.

This is my 5th pregnancy and third baby, too.  I'm growing out of all of my clothes except my "fat clothes" that I just happen to still have around after losing almost 50 lbs.  So I have those and my sweats, some of which are getting too tight, too.
I feel huge, too and everyone in my family has mentioned my belly.  I'm sure a lot of it is bloat, but I can feel my uterus now, too.

I'm about 10 weeks 4 days and my clothes don't really fit anymore...this will be my first after 2 miscarriages. I bought some small maternity pants that look like regular slacks on me but allow me to grow into them!! I bought all my work clothes a size to big and they're starting to fit tight now, guess I'll be wearing those pants before too long!
