How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

I am 14 weeks & my regualr jeans are begining to hurt me. If I buy maternity jeans/ pants soon, the band on the jeans will grow with my belly right?

Also, If I buy the belly band, I can wear it with my regualr pants but just have to leave them unbuttoned underneath?

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

I bit the bullet around 16-18 weeks, but should have sooner. Maternity pants were soooooo much more comfy than my jeans with bands on them.

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

i think 12 weeks

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

That's it, i'm running to Gap this weekend.

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

i bought stretchy black pants at around 8 or 10 weeks bc i was sooooo uncomfortable at work and i thought ppl would notice my pants were tight
its weird....my jean shorts still fit fine (not all but i have a few pairs) but jeans and capris i had to buy at around 12-13 weeks

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

I am 12 weeks and think that I will probably buy my first pair within the next few weeks! My pants still fit, they are just getting uncomfortable!

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

I think I must have been around 17 weeks, but I can't really remember. I still only have one pair of pants (I'm still trying to squeeze my 22 week belly into my regular pants/jeans with the bella band, but it's getting a little ridiculous), but I bought quite a few shirts, thank goodness.

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

I'm 16 weeks and am soooo overdue for maternity pants. I really needed them Weeks ago!! Time to go shopping!!

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

I started to unbutton my jeans and wear the belly band at about 9 weeks and I JUST bought maternity pants the other day at 18 weeks (and I should have bought them earlier bc I was getting soo uncomfortable with trying to wear my regular pants with the belly band)

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

I bought my 1st pair around 9 weeks from target. But they dont look like Maternity pants at all. I actually didnt realize they were until i looked at the tag. lol. They are very comfortable. I look foward to not having to wear my band with jeans anymore cause i dont like anything tight on my stomach.

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

17 weeks

I was around 8 weeks. I didnt care if it was too early, with all the bloatedness I knew I would need them eventually anyway and they are soooo much more comfortable!!

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

i bought them when i was probably 14 weeks or so. i didnt start WEARING them until about 17 weeks, maybe 18. i was using a rubberband around some of my jeans or using the bella band. Finally gave in.

Im still wearing the small maternity jeans i bought from old navy. they're the full panels but i just roll it down b/c i hate having it all the way up on my belly. and they still fit great..they do stretch and adjust to your belly.

the maternity shops tell you to buy your prepregnancy size.

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

I was so excited I bought them at 6 weeks.

I can't wear them yet, but I can't wait to.

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

18 weeks...doctors orders.

Re: How far along were you when you bought your first pair of maternity pants?

12 weeks, best thing ever!

Yes the full panel with grow with you, even though at that stage i prefered the demi panal. Once I hit the third tri the demi panal was really uncomfortable .
