Anyone still holding on to their pre-pg pants??

I'm desperately holding on to mine! :(  I keep trying rubberbands and my "fat" jeans, almost past the point of being comfortable.  I guess I'm worried about getting into maternity pants too quick compared to pg girls I know at home.  But on here, I feel so free to try on my maternity pants! :)  I guess it's whatever you feel most comfortable in that matters.  Anyone else in my boat??

    I am.  I don't quite fit into my maternity pants yet so it's the ol' rubberband, for now.

    I was so sick of maternity by the time I had DD I know better than to hurry it this time.  With DD I had a hard time buttoning my pants by about 10 weeks so I jumped right into maternity.

    This time I will try everything else before I have to switch.  I am still really comfy in my clothes so I hope I can go longer.  I just hated having a limited wardrobe.

    Still in my regular jeans here.  Some days they fit ok (a bit snug) and some days it's Bella Band all day (those days are the majority lately!)

    I'm newly pregnant this go round, but I found it more comfortable to wear my regular jeans when I was pregnant with DS than the maternity jeans.  I was in my regular jeans the day I went into labor.

    I'm still in my pre-preggo clothes. I have bought one pair of jeans, and think I'd better go shopping soonish. I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow. I still don't really have a bump

    Still in my regular jeans.  They only become uncomfortable in the evening after dinner.  I was wearing some maternity pants/shorts by 12 weeks with DS, so I pulled the tub out and have maternity jeans on standby.

    I'm still in my regular jeans with the beband but I'm going to have to but them to rest soon. I am bloated beyond belief. My love handles have love handles. Indifferent

    I am I didn't switch over until 12 weeks last time.  I'm hoping for the same this time - we'll see. My pre prego pants still fit well and are comfy that and i would get questions that I'm not ready to answer if i showed up to work in maternity clothing...

    When you wear the rubberband or beband -- do your button areas kinda pouch out a bit?  Mine does, so I feel like it draws more attention sometimes.  I find that my lower-waisted jeans do okay (I wear jeans daily to work, so no lounge pants for me-poo!), but I have a few pair that hit closer to my belly button -- I'm trying to avoid those as they get too tight too early.  I don't think sitting at a computer all day for work help much either.

    I'm still squeezing into them, but instead of using a rubber band (I'm afraid the zipper will slip down), I'm thinking of trying to wind a doubled strand of yarn through the loophole and the top of the zipper and see how that works.  I'm trying to save as much as I can on clothes so that I can spend it on the "bean" when he/she gets here!!!

    I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one bloated around week 8.  I'm wearing a combo of both, I'm mortified to have to be in maternity pants at 8 weeks, but at least when I sit at my desk all day, I'm not dying!  I only bought a pair of black ones and jeans, and then I bought a belliband so I could wear my other clothes.  I also found that I wear mostly form fitting shirts, so I went to Lane Bryant where I knew they would have some cute tops that weren't "maternity", and found a few things that fit.  I'm normally a size 10, so they are a bit big, but they are hiding the bloat nicely without having to wear the traditional maternity shirts.

    I'm still wearing pre-pregnancy pants. I think 2 pairs of jeans are totally off limits now, but the rest are much stretchier, and I have no problem walking around with them unbuttoned all day. I'll wear them as long as humanly possible.

    Im rubberbanding it and bought some cute flowy tops. Everything I have is fitted and i have big ole bloat belly that grosses me out. I cant stand looking fat. Looking pregnant, I would be fine with, but I hate just looking like I have a gut and don't know how to buy clothes that fit.

    I'm still wearing my pre-pregnancy pants, some in a size larger, and definitely with the bella band for the past 2 weeks or so.  I jumped right into medium maternity pants last time so I was happy to find out that they were a little big :-) (I gained 50 lbs last time!)
