I think its time I get new pants. I'm only a little over 13 weeks so i'm surprised that i'm needing them already! but my pants are becoming more and more uncomfortable.
I bought some maternity pants about a week ago. My other pants wouldn't even button anymore! They are so comfy! Target and Kohl's is where I got mine and they had some pretty good deals.

I used a belly band with my non-maternity clothes until ~20 weeks or so. Then I gave in and haven't looked back!

First pregnancy, I started wearing maternity pants around 19-20 weeks. They were so much more comfortable that I kicked myself for not making the change sooner. The second time around I started wearing them at 12 weeks.
Whyyyyyyy wait!? The time you actually wear them is so limited, they're so expensive, so cute and so comfy!! If I'm ever pg again I'm wearing maternity clothes on BFP day!!

It's like baby clothes, you get extra cute outfits that you don't want to 'waste' on a normal day, well, you blink and they've outgrown it!

With DS I wore maternity pants around 12 weeks. I probably started in maternity shirts not too long after.
This time, I didn't wear them until about 20 weeks because it was summer and my non maternity shorts from before DS fit (I lost 70lbs after he was born).
I say if you'd be more comfortable in them, go ahead!

Psshhh...limited time. I still wear my maternity pants now sometimes even though I fit into regular pants because they are comfortable. Maybe that should be in FFFC?

This so much. I bought my first pair of maternity jeans at 9 weeks and life was so good.
No one knows what kind of pants you have on but you, wear them now!
I started wearing maternity pants before i was PG during my IVF cycle. I looked about 14 weeks pregnant because I was SO swollen. I went back to real pants for a little while but at about 9 or 10 weeks I went back. They are just so much more comfortable! Youre uncomfortable enough as it is. Why not have your clothes at least be comfy? Right?

I didn't like the Target one either and was into maternity pants all the time around 14-15 weeks.
I got to peak at the Ingrid and Isabel one and it has grippy plastic, like a strapless bra, that the Target one doesn't.
Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline!

Honestly I bought several maternity things last week. Tops and dresses, no bottoms yet. I needed new clothes and didn't see any reason to buy regular when winter is going to last the next 3 plus months and I'd need bigger before the end of the season anyways ;-)

Also, I didn't like the belly band either until third tri when my belly was bigger. I used it so I could fit into shorts for the summer.
This time, I didn't wear them until about 20 weeks because it was summer and my non maternity shorts from before DS fit (I lost 70lbs after he was born).
I say if you'd be more comfortable in them, go ahead!
