LOs are 7 w 3 days and I already had to buy a pair of demi-panel jeans and more yoga pants cause nothing fits me. It's all belly (and mostly bloat, oh the gas pains), but I've already gained 5 pounds, even with the nausea! Anyone know of a good brand to buy so I can actually use these clothes for a while?

i was also in mat. pants right away b/c of the horrible bloat (and i had gained a few lbs going through IF treatments, too)... none of my pants fit from day 1. By the time the bloat was gone- i was truly showing.
no real advice on pants - just don't spend a ton b/c your size changes fast... and remember that the pants you buy early on are great to wear after you have the babies, too!
I've gained 8 lbs so far, so I'm also in that in-between phase of mostly bloat/weight gain. I finally made a trip to Motherhood and found a (surprisingly) cute pair of jeans for $20. I even tried on a few designer pair but the cheapies fit WAY better than Mavis or Sevens.
The BeBand has extended the life on some my pants too - you can pick it up at Target.
I was in yoga pants most of the 2ww from the bloat of the IVF and never got out of them. Even though I only gained 43 lbs my entire pregnancy and most of it was from 19w on I was showing by 8 weeks. Luckily I run a day care from home so I didn't need to dress up.

I pretty much went through two maternity sizes so you may want to keep that in mind. But, like Goldie, the smaller maternity sizes were great for after the delivery. I got nice jeans and still wear the mediums now (not that I am proud of it!).
I bought my first pair of maternity jeans at 6 weeks.
I wear them almost every single day. I just went back to buy pair #2. I tell myself that once I deliver, I may need these jeans then too...as I'm sure my regular pants will not be my friend for a while.....
