When did you start wearing maternity pants?

I'm in my 13th week, 3rd baby.  I don't recall bulging out this early with my last two pregnancies and am trying so hard to hold off on the maternity pants.  For some reason that's a milestone I'm not looking forward to and don't want to hit this early.

Every pregnancy is different. I'm 20W and still in regular clothes although I'm getting a muffin top. Last pregnancy I think I started wearing maternity clothes around 12/14 weeks.

Lol, I think that's my problem also.  In my head I feel fat and not pregnant.  I think if I could feel the baby that might help, but that's not happening for at least another month, so it feels like I'm transitioning into fat pants or something.

I'm 21 weeks and am still in my regular jeans. They still fit pretty well, but I think if I got maternity clothes I'd actually look Pregnant. I don't know how I look in real life, but the mean girl in my head tells me I just look fat.

I started wearing maternity jeans at around 13 wks even though I could still technically fit into my regular jeans but the button won't close cuz I gained 15 lbs very quickly, I would just wear them cuz they're so much more comfy.  I haven't fully transitioned out of reg clothes, but I'm am 23 wks now with a definite bump and mix n match half of my outfits with maternity/reg clothes..
