It's totally acceptable...

[shananagins]

Not only do I say yes, but I'm also taking suggestions for best brand of maternity pants. Feel free to chime in, ladies. Me and my bloated tummy are all ears

Holy cow...second time around is unreal. I picked out what I thought was a nice "slimming" outfit for work today. Caught a glance of myself on the way in a reflection from a window- hello blump! Nice to see you again. It's ridiculous. 7 weeks tomorrow.

I've been using the hair tie band since, like, day 1 and now I've moved on to maternity pants. They are just more comfortable. I stretchy clothes!

FTM so I don't have any maternity pants yet, and I'm not buying any til I HAVE to (since bodies can change). But I have been rocking the rubber and looped through the hole trick since like week 7 or 8!

I say go for it! I am trying my best to hold out as long as possible before I get into maternity clothes. I'm 11 weeks today and I don't think I'll make it another week before I have to cave!

Totally acceptable! I am 9w2d and I recently broke out the belly band and my maternity pants won't be far behind! It's crazy how much earlier I've popped with this second pregnancy.

I can't wait for my maternity pants. I love the full panel belly ones. I am especially excited to be in maternity pants for Thanksgiving.

to wear maternity pants at 6.5 weeks right? Holy bloat.

I fully support this.  

My method had just been to avoid pants at all costs.  It's the summer of loose dresses.

I would layer to keep my pants up. Tank top first, then full belly over the tank top, then shirt. It worked pretty well. Until June hit, but I was 8 months pregnant by then and they stayed up pretty well on their own.

I wore a pair two days ago but I'm almost 11 weeks. More because I refuse to buy any "normal" pants at this point and I wanted to wear black skinny jeans.

It just makes me want more maternity jeans because they're awesome.

[JoeLies]

I swear I was still wearing regular jeans early into my 3rd tri last time. I somehow don't think that will be happening again...

[quietjoy]

I've worn mine a time or two already.

I just saw a sale and was looking at pants. So expensive for limited wear. Ugh. I am also picky about my jeans and hate jeans that sag. I hated maternity pants. I am still wearing all normal clothing in a normal way and I am trying to hold out as long as possible. I am getting disappointed that my work pumps are getting tight. Last time I bought cheap flats in 1.5 sizes up.

A few months ago, I bought elastic waist pencil skirts for work. Absolutely love and I am hoping they last a while.

Oh dear god - I'm a 9.5 as it is.

I'm going for lots of skirts and dresses so far.

And the leggings, give me all the leggings.

OMG, this is me so hard.

OMG, why didn't I make this my signature for this month!?!? I feel like leggings would've won the world.

I busted out the maternity shorts today. I'm so goddamn sick of pulling my shorts up that I decided i could get away with it. Fuck the police.

[MissMusic]

Whatever is comfy!
