I'm 8 months today and have yet to buy any. I do have a belly band I use to hold my pants up instead of the buttons.  And I wear longer under shirts under my t-shirts. Going to buy a nice maternity shirt for my upcoming baby shower. I do have maternity work pants though, can't get away with the belly band for long with ems pants.

I started at about 2 months also. I've been buying mostly pants & buying larger size tops. Also, I've been trying to buy dresses & skirts that i can wear afterwards. It seems like there's more options in clothes this time. Most of the maxi skirts or palazo pants are stretchy enough to slip right under my belly :)

I broke down and bought some at about 25 weeks when my regular jeans were starting to get way to tight around the waist. Wore leggings and baggy shirts for a couple of weeks, but I love jeans and a cute top and didn't want to stretch out my shirts So I couldn't stand it anymore and got a couple of pairs of jeans and a few shirts, and actually really like them. I had to buy new bras twice though, once around 14 weeks and then again at around 25 weeks when I got the jeans.

I started wearing maternity clothes at the end of my second trimester. I only bought two pair of Capri's and about 8 shirts. I only go to the doctor and a few other places. I can still wear my joggers. Most of the time I'm at home in basketball shorts and t-shirts or nothing at all. Lol. I bought all of my maternity clothes online at jcp.com motherhood and Kohl's.

I haven't bought any maternity clothes. I'm 30+5. I just don't wanna buy clothes that I won't wear after my princess gets here :) so I have been buying yoga pants that I will wear afterwards.

After my pants got too tight ... Which was at 10 weeks for me lol. Seems really early but last week I went maternity shopping for the first time. Found out my breasts have gone up two cup sizes already, & my baby bump is obvious now :) Got 2 bras, 2 jeans, & a few shirts.
