Comfortable Clothing

I am nowhere near maternity clothes, but my dress work pants are just not comfortable (bloating). Any recommendations for pants that are stretchy for the next few months but have to be work casual as well.

Get a Bella band.  You can still wear the pants you have but you don't need to button/zip them.

That's what I did. I didn't need to go to maternity until ~18 weeks with the belly band.

Thanks. Never used it with my first so I didn't even think if it.

I really like those belly bands but I think their way too wide, I don't like it going up my belly and it can be a pain to fold and half and have it stay that way.  I discovered you can use a strapless cami bra for the same effect, except its not as wide! 

Also hair elastic works good if there's a button to loop to

I bought some very comfy "travel" pants, oh they are so NOT youthful or too stylish, boot cut and super soft and they have ELASTIC flat waist band, super cheap at LL Bean.
