Maternity Pants

So, I gave in!  Today I bought maternity pants... I know all I have is bloat, but I am sick of squeezing into my regular pants and feeling uncomfortable.

In the store I felt kind of uncomfortable because I feel I look more "chunky" than pregnant... but hey... everyone starts out here right?!?!?

I ended up buying three pair of jeans... really nice looking... nicer than some of my regular jeans actually!  They are SOOOOOOOOO comfy... why aren't all jeans made like this... I don't think I ever want to wear regular jeans again LOL!

    I'm right behind you. Today even my fat jeans hurt.

    I finally gave into elastic today at 11 weeks. I was slender before the pregnancy but was uncomfortable in my clothes. I bought some pants at Ross that were inexpensive but comfortable. And I bought some pants online at Old Navy last night...hope they fit well!

    I got mine at motherhood... I think that's what it's called... awesome!  The best thing is they have petite sizes so I don't have to hem them!  Although the more fancy pockets don't come petite... but I bought them anyways! 

    I also tried Target today... I don't know if it's just because they are renovating... but they had NOTHING... and what they did have was horrible looking!  I really expected to buy a lot there, since their prices are always so much better, but I had no luck today.

     I wanted to try Old Navy... I'll get there when I have a very noticeable bump I guess.

    I love maternity pants! I even wore them for quite some time post partum because they were much more comfy than trying to squeeze into my pre-preg pants.

    I bought maternity jeans (and 2 new bras) at Motherhood recently, too.  I started wearing the jeans this weekend.  Mine don't stay up that well, so I put a tummy sleeve over the panel to help.  But my regular jeans were starting to cut into me.

    I dug out a pair of maternity capri pants yesterday. SO comfy! I know that I am mostly bloat, but being a 2nd timer I think I also may be starting to get more of a baby belly too.

     Also, totally agree with pp about maternity pants postpartum.  I probably wore maternity pants for close to a month after DD was born. They were just so much more comfortable than normal pants!

    I am right there. I couldn't stand my work pants anymore. I have only gained like 3 pounds and I am 9 weeks but just NOT comfortable all day..

    I'm going shopping this weekend. I have one pair of maternity jeans, and I love them. Even my fat jeans feel uncomfortable sometimes. :(

    I bought four pairs of pants the next size up.  I wear them now, even though they are a little big.  I'm just not ready for the maternity pants.  I figured I can wear them after LO is born.  I have all my maternity clothes from DD, and I pregnant through the same season so I won't have to buy many.

    I have also been doing the rubberband trick with some of my jeans.
