when did you have to start wearing maternity clothes?

one atomic mama Due August 15: when did you have to start wearing maternity clothes?
I am 9 weeks 3 days. I suppose it is bloating and my widening body (lol). But I find my regular clothes to be a bit too snug for comfort. When did most of you gals have to start wearing maternity clothing?

I had to start with the elastic-waist maternity jeans around 4 months. I was fine with most of my regular tops until 6 1/2 months or so. Go get yourself some comfy jeans…it’s never too soon to be comfortable! 🙂

about 12 weeks but im blowing up like a balloon. Ive noticed though that maternity jeans accommodate the belly well but not the butt. Every time i bend over or get out of the car or stand up im always adjusting my pants because my butt is trying to jump out.

I’m 32 weeks, and still wearing my regular pre-pregnancy jeans – but I started to need maternity shirts at about 20 weeks.
