I have gained 8 pounds and have a definite pregnant belly, but I'm still fitting in my normal jeans and starting to wear longer shirts to compensate for the growing belly - which thank goodness have been in style for awhile because I have plenty!
Is anyone else carrying a bit higher so normal pants are still comfortable?

Yes, I have a blog and it's hilarious (except when it's not)
This!! It's the weirdest thing! I've been wearing the maternity jeans for a few weeks now, but really just because they're more comfortable because until last week I could still wear my normal jeans through the day. And I've been wearing normal sweaters to work, but granted I've always liked the longer style so they're still working because of that I'm sure. But I do get really frustrated because some days I still feel like I look so little or not showing at all.
I have a pair of mat jeans that I wear on the weekends because my regular jeans are too big! I'm down 24lbs so far. I anticipate that I will start to go up in the next 5 weeks or so (I did last time, anyway).
I'm still wearing my work pants and shirts, but usually with a sweater over top because the front is a little short.
Me. But I have a lot of loose fitting dresses (shift and "doll" dresses) anyway. My jeans that are very low rise still fit me without a Be Band.
My only maternity clothes so far as a couple of maternity leggings from Target and 1 Liz Lange tee.
Today I'm wearing this (with tights and knee high boots) and this isn't maternity. I have had this pre-preggo but I tend to like dresses like these anyway.

I am, except I am now wearing a cami or band to cover the unbuttoned pants/skirts. my shirts always were longer/flowy - so I've stayed in all regular clothes.
I'm not carrying high at all, I'm really super low still, but I'm filling out evenly I guess.
I'm still in all my regular pants and shirts. My jeans still button and are comfy (most days!) so I'm sticking with them for as long as I can! While I'm cheaping out on my maternity clothes, I paid a lot of money for my non-maternity jeans so I'm rocking them for as long as I possibly can
Like others have said, the few maternity pants that I bought are still too big for my bump and fall down. hopefully I'll grow soon!

Thanks! It's from ASOS.com. I'm just not sure if it's still available. Do check out the website if you like styles like these, but they have many others including maternity
This! I'm not big enough for maternity stuff yet, but if I get the urge to buy something, I make sure that it'll grow with me. I never really wore leggings or flowy tops before, so it's fun to try on a new style.

i started wearing strictly maternity jeans/pants about two weeks ago (17wk) bc although my jeans still fit - my belly was expanding pretty low and I was uncomfortable when sitting so --- why be uncomfortable
I have however been using alot of my pre-p tops bc my bump is still pretty small. I actually have resolved that I am going to continue to buy various forms of the longish open sweaters in NON-maternity that way I can use them post=baby. I just got a steal on several at Express for their big end of season sale!!!

I can still wear non maternity tops if they are long but I've been wearing maternity pants for months just cause in the 1st tri was so bloated...I can still fit into my old pants with a band but it's just not worth the discomfort.
Holy crap, some of you guys must be carrying really high! I had to give in and buy maternity pants at 15 weeks. I'm all baby so far and bump is very low, so I couldn't button or zip any of my jeans, even though I'd only gained about 5 lbs at that point.
I like wearing a lot of my longer non-maternity sweaters and tops still though. They look cute over my bump.
