maternity clothes

Im now officially 16 weeks today and it feels weird that im still small enough I could just be bloated like a normal bad day and nothing else. I'm not a tiny person but I still feel like I should be showing by now, my question is, are other people around 16 weeks needing the maternity clothes yet or is it still to early for most people?

I'm wearing maternity jeans but they are a bit big. All my other clothes still fit and I'm 17 weeks

I've been in maternity pants since 9 weeks (more for comfort).  This whole pregnancy, so far, I haven't been able to tolerate any pressure on my belly.  It's not just uncomfortable, but mildly painful.  So I switched to maternity pants and underwear then.  I didn't start wearing maternity shirts until 14 weeks when I really started showing.  I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow, and most of my prepregrancy clothes are laughably short when I try to wear them.  But everyone is different.  I have a friend who is 10 weeks and she is small framed, and she is still wearing her regular jeans  (Low rise) and is still comfortable).

I'm still wearing my same clothes but I did go to Ross and Nordstrom rack the other day and got a couple size bigger in non maternity clothes. I even found a cute maternity top that looked like something I normally would wear. I like simple non pattern type of clothes. I'm just shopping here and there and mainly getting stretchy larger clothes so that I can wear them after I have my baby without feeling dumb wearing maternity clothes lol. Hope u find clothes that will work for u :)

Nearly 17 weeks and no maternity clothes here, although some things feel a little bit snug. I did have a look in the shops just out of interest and it all seems to be horrible floral stuff, not sure what I'm going to wear for the next 5 months :-(
