I am just about 6 weeks pregnant, so no where near needing to buy maternity clothes yet. But I have been so bloated that throughout the day I find that I can't button my pants and have to resort to the hair tie/rubber band trick.
Will the bloat eventually go away? Or am I going to need to cave and buy some cozy looking maternity pants.

I remember that feeling, and it's not fun. But the bloat does go down eventually. I broke down and bought some maternity pants around 8 weeks because I couldn't stand trying to squeeze into my pre-pregnancy pants. OMG! So comfortable!! I'm still having a hard time going back to regular pants after the baby because the maternity pants make everything feel and fit better.

I would buy the pants. Might as well get more use out of them and be comfy!

You should buy pants now. That way you get lots of wear out of them. The bloating/belly is only gonna get worse/bigger!

I was pretty bloated from 6-10 weeks pregnant. At about 12 weeks or so, it went down a bit. I still haven't bought maternity pants yet at 15 weeks. I'm holding out as long as possible before I do that. I'm overweight, so I still don't look pregnant.

I never really had bloat per se, but needed maternity pants at about 10 weeks anyways ... I figure that you will buy them eventually anyways, so might as well get them early and get a lot more use out of them.

Buy the pants. I bought mine at 9 weeks and suddenly felt much better about myself. I should have bought them sooner/ The rubber band trick made me feel fat.
