Maternity clothes, how soon?

Hello all, I work in an office and the dress is business casual. Mostly dress pants & nice tops. Will I need to buy a whole new maternity wardrobe? When do you start wearing maternity clothes? Thanks, ladies!

    I am almost 11 weeks and my clothes still fit the same as they always have. Other than a few off days of bloat.

    My sister made it through most of her first wearing just the bella band, and a friend of mine is 20 weeks now and her pre-pregnancy jeans are just now too tight.

    All that being said, everyone is very different...

    I went ahead and got a few pair of jeans I found on sale and plan to do the same with tops here soon as I find ones I like instead of having to buy everything all at once.

    With my first pregnancy, I was in maternity clothes by 12 weeks.  This time, 6 weeks.

    I wear slacks/blouses or dresses M-Th and jeans on Fridays.

    Not necessarily.  I dress nicely for work (often in suits, never jeans).  The key is is layering.  Use your cardigans, blazers, and suit jackets over some maternity shirts.  Buy one very versatile black dress, a few pairs of work pants, some versatile tees and a few blouses.  I like the Gap Pure Body maternity shirts because they're one of the very few styles that will actually last a 40 cm belly.  

    If you catch it now, Gap is selling several pairs of work-appropriate pants 50% off this weekend.

    my pants are already getting tight, but just in the waist. So I'd hate to buy a size up. I'll probably go with the hair tie looped through until I have to buy new stuff. But for work I'll probably go ahead and invest in a couple pair maternity pants for when I need them.
