No Way! I refuse to use maternity clothes this early on into my pregnancy. However, I must admit in the past few days, the idea is becoming more intriguing. I am just beginning that awkward in-between stage when you just look fat. After having recently lost 25 lbs. I found the idea of people thinking I'm just gaining back the weight mildly repulsive, so I finally made the official "Facebook" announcement.
I was so nervous in the beginning of this pregnancy, afraid that it wouldn't last or that somehow I had misread the 4 pregnancy tests that I had taken. I was reluctant to spill the beans only because I was reluctant to believe I was actually pregnant. I kept saying, 'not until I hear the heartbeat', which as of yet, has not happened yet (but I will finally hear on Wednesday), but the pooch that is inevitably protruding is forcing the reality of this pregnancy to finally sink in.
I just think it is WAY too early for this tiny little thing to be rearing its ugly little head. I know, everyone has told me the second pregnancy shows much earlier, I get that, but understanding and accepting is two totally separate things.
So I will continue to be squished into jeans that are too tight and completely ignore the maternity clothes I received for Mother's Day that I already secretly tried on and feel like heaven. I'll give it another month before I cave.

I'm so excited for you to hear the heartbeat Wednesday! I hope you have a blast.
P.S. Don't fight maternity clothes. Pregnancy is the only time it's socially acceptable for a woman to wear stretch pants with an extender. You gotta milk this time for all it's worth!
I say you don't last the week... let alone a whole month! Life is too short to walk around uncomfortable.
My cousin is pregnant with her 3rd baby and she said she can't believe she is already showing at 10 weeks. Perhaps you would do well with a bella band? Let me know I can MAKE one for you ;)
Don't let your mom hear you talk about maternity clothes like that....she wears them & isn't even pregnant because they ARE COMFORTABLE.
I'm with Anita all the way and doubling her bet! LOL!
I LOVE YOU & ENJOY THIS TIME. RELISH the moment & simply BE PREGNANT with your SECOND CHILD! GLOW GIRL GLOW!!!! Maternity Clothes & All!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm with Anita--I bet you're already wearing them :) And so did you get to hear the heartbeat?? That's the greatest sound in the world.
But seriously, I TOTALLY know how you feel with showing earlier. It was crazy. CRAZY. I had a little pooch at 6 weeks. By 10 weeks I was actually trying to hide it, and it's so depressing to find clothes that will make you look fat and not pregnant. I don't want to look fat! But I also didn't want people to know that I'm pregnant. Oh well. A big CONGRATS, though :)
I'm with Jacki, milk it.
