Freaked out about maternity clothes?!

I am starting to pop a little bit, at only 8+ weeks. I didn't really expect it so soon. I'm starting to wear my heavier-weight clothes (I lost almost 25 lbs. on Weight Watchers between May-Nov.), since I can't fit in my smallest pants anymore. I may be able to get away with some of my looser regular tops for a while yet, though.
But, I am not sure if most of my tops are long enough to cover my little pooch, especially in the next 1 1/2 weeks until I get some time off from work for the holidays. So I'm considering getting a few tops - either slimmer-line maternity ones, or loose and longer regular ones.
But I'm kind of freaked out about the idea of buying anything yet. We had to do IVF to get here, and I guess I'm still scared that it's too good to be true, that something will happen. My family wants to help me get maternity clothes, but they're also afraid to get me anything yet.
Is anyone else feeling the same way? Just curious...

For pants, you could try something like one of these:

And for shirts, I would just look for a couple of longer ones
Hi - I am only 15 weeks and I had to buy maternity clothes 3 weeks ago. My "loose" clothes, especially pants, were just too tight at the waist. You will be a lot more comfortable if you get some looser clothing...whether it is maternity or larger sized regular clothes.
I went to Motherhood Maternity and they had a lot of stuff on Clearance. I snatched up a variety of short sleeved tops and purchased one sweater/jacket thing and wear that over the shirts to winterize them. I am not big enough to buy a ton of tops, but I did splurge on the maternity pants. Even if they are loose now, you will grow into them.
I understand your concern considering your IVF circumstance however you need to be comfortable!
I'm about 9 weeks along and have found that I can no longer wear my jeans
Hallo,
Am 12 weeks today, my first pregnancy but not yet showing. Still wearing my normal clothes but not the tight ones. Those that used to be loose are now tight and nobody can guess that am preggers.
Cant wait to start showing. My doctor told me I might not show until 15 - 20 weeks.

I'm a first timer and I know that, even though my waistline began to expand around the 3rd month, I didn't actually look pregnant until around week 25.

I'm not excited about maternity clothes either, this is my first pregnancy.
