With maternity pants!! I am about 8 1/2 weeks pregnant. I've only gained 2 pounds so far, but none of my pants fit. I had been wearing my old pants with a hair tie holding them together. I thought it was stupid to buy maternity pants at 2 months. But, I gave in and I could NOT be happier! The lady at the maternity store said it was nothing to be embarassed about, because I am definitely not alone! Now that I have them I may never go back!! All of you who are thinking you shouldn't buy them this early, believe me...they are worth it!!
