Maternity Clothes...about how many weeks?

[Lance06]

Just curious to see if any February mothers are already wearing maternity clothes?
All of my pants are so uncomfortable when I am sitting at my desk at work, I have no room in them!

For those of you who arent having their first child, about when did you start wearing maternity clothes???

Any advice would be great.
I dont want to start wearing any yet..unless I absolutely have to...Im only creeping into my 10th week..

This is my 5th pregnancy and at 11.2 wks pregnant, my pants are too tight and i have a little stomach already.

I am 11 weeks and had to buy some maternity pants already. I got goucho looking pants at target. I bought them a little big though so I dont have to buy all new clothes as I get bigger. As this is my 6th pregnancy I have some experience in this department. This will be my 4th baby so I remember that I need to buy the maternity pants bigger in the begining otherwise as I grow thet won't fit anymore...
Thankfully I have alot of babydoll tops and I have always liked bigger tops rather than tight ones s most of my tops still fit...Maternity clothes are so cute soI dont mind... I am not a big fashin person I am more of a comfort dresser...

Most of my jeans are too tight, but it's probably more bloating than a baby bump so far...I saw the Bella bands in a magazine. To whomever has one, do they really work well? It'd be nice to be able to wear real pants again. As far as shirts go, it seems like everything that's popular right now all look like maternity clothes anyway, so I think that should be pretty easy!

Hi,

I'm 11 weeks this week.  Actually I've lost some weight so even my clothes that were tight a couple of weeks ago are now loose enough to wear.

However, I'm not comfortable wearing tight clothes now so I've already bought some leggings and a tracksuit bottom (regular type).

The current style is for loose tunic type stuff, so I just went out and bought some regular loose type tops that will also do - probably for most of the pregnancy and are not the obvious maternity type.

I'm almost 11 Weeks and I'm still in my normal clothes! I feel like some pieces of clothing are starting to feel a bit snug, but its not to the point its uncomfortable. So I have a feeling I'm going to sail through the rest of my first trimester in all my clothes and part of my second trimester too. Although, I'm dying to buy some Maternity stuff! I think its adorable and can't wait to start wearing it! I just have to gain some weight! I've lost half a pound since becomming Preggo so I need to start gaining!

I am getting ready to take the plunge. I bought a bella band awhile back just so I could wear my jeans with the button undone or not neccessarily zipped all the way on days that my bloating warranted it. I just today got some maternity shorts figuring elastic waistband is not always going to be acceptable as much as I would like it to be. I am excited but at the same time not as I am very broad shouldered and most of the cute maternity shirts I would like to be wearing at some point always look all wrong on me especially anything with cap sleeves. So it will mainly be strechy tees and such and of course when it gets close a cute outift for thanksgiving & christmas gatherings.

Thanks for the posts....
I too was hoping to wait a bit...however, obviously my body is telling me otherwise. I guess its time to go out and buy some stuff.
Im not really a skirt/dress kinda gal..Im more of a pants/shirt kinda person..but, I do have a skirt now that I think of with an elastic waist that isnt maternity that would stil probably be more comfortable then I am right now in these darn pants!

I posted in the Pregnancy 21-34 forum, but wanted to add that though the jeans I wear are very comfortable, I don't wear them out!  Just to work.  LOL.  I wear a lot of dresses or leggings on the weekends or if we go out.
