Maternity Clothes

I apologize if this is already discussed... I'm almost 9 weeks and my jeans are starting to feel tight. I'm not sure whether to buy a maternity band (bellaband, be band, etc...) or splurge for a nice pair of maternity jeans. Has anyone broke and bought these yet? Thanks!

    Almost 9 weeks myself and bought my first belly band yesterday but haven't used it yet. I plan to use a hair-tie to secure my jeans without buttoning and wearing the belly band over it.  My goal is to avoid spending gobs on maternity clothes, Bras and some shirts but I am going to try and stick with my jeans and existing skirts worn low. FTM here so I'm not sure how practical this is.

    At my last pregnancy I waited until I was really showing to get maternity clothes ( around 20 weeks). When I put them on I felt like they were the best thing ever. This time around I am going to go to maternity clothes much sooner.
    I would just go ahead and get the maternity clothes. It's never too early to feel comfortable!

    I'm 5 weeks and a few days and I broke down last night and bought 2 new sports bras. They aren't specifically maternity wear, but one size up made a huge difference I am so much more comfortable! I agree whatever you do don't be uncomfortable, it's just not worth it.

    I have been so bloated that I will probably be investing in a belly band this weekend. I'd rather be comfortable over anything. Luckily my BFF's have both been pregnant and are willing to let me borrow their maternity clothes so I'm crossing fingers that I won't have to buy a lot.

    My Bella band has been out since the 6 week bloat. I was finally able to button my jeans today at 8 weeks since the bloat is down. I wore a maternity skirt last week but it was just too big at this point. I'll probably make the switch closer to 16 ish weeks.

    In my last pregnancy my mom bought me a pair of 7 for all mankind maternity jeans and they were SO worth it. I'm actually excited to get to wear them again. The belly band worked for the transition in the beginning but I found it really annoying and rolled up a lot once my belly got big.
