Opinions regarding Professional maternity cloths

So I am 20 +2 weeks today, and starting Monday I will begin my new job as a bank teller. the dress code is professional, so slacks, nice tops kind of job. I have had a lot of jobs in the past where it was business professional code, but My questions is while pregnant what are things you think will be easier to pull off and not be too expensive at the same time. I don't mind showing off my bump. It took me a while to get my little one so i am proud show him/her off. But i am normally pre pregnancy a very skinny girl. 6 feet and 120lbs. I know i shouldn't expect to loose the weight and be back to pre pregnancy right away, but I don't want to spend all this money on maternity cloths for work, when i am going to be shoving them in my closet afterwards for fivish years until we are ready to have another baby. So what are things that either yourself have done for work, or have seen others do for work (business professional) while pregnant.

Pictures or links are appreciated! Thanks!!

LMBO... I love how it went from clothing to Food! lol well I am pretty sure we have a victoria secret and a forever 21 but its at a mall thats an hour away from us, which is okay because i work an hour away. Subway and baskin robins yes I currently live in wasilla, and we have both, Lots of subways! Which is amazing since its my craving constantly.

I feel the same way regarding cloths. for pants, its hard for me since i am so tall and skinny, and I live in AK... sorry for any alaskians as i say this.. but all the cloths are short here.. no one is very tall in this area. So when it comes to pants I am going to try to keep my to dress pants i have now and spent like 60 bucks on (pre pregnancy pants) and wear the belly band over top of it. If i need to i will see if i could wear skirts, or like the above post said some yoga pants and cover up the belt area. but I will def try Target and look around. i have a few spandex shirt and was thinking that with a decor scarf would look nice. with maybe a light sweater to wear on top.? Is that professional?

exactly how I feel ! Yeah right if im guna spend 55$ on a pair of "good" maternity pants im 25weeks & starting  to need them I went to Victoria secret and bought multiple cute spandex/yoga comfy pants that I can pull off for any type of occasion for 20$ each and just a bunch of cute XL shirts that will fit around my belly :) i also am guna consider a belly band ladies been telling me about I personally dont think maternity clothes are needed unless I get extremely big but not to spend 55$ on a good pair ill wear for 3 more months then store away.
