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...

I am 9+ weeks and a co-worker brought me maternity pants last week. I didn't try them on until yesterday, certain they would be too big...of course they fit and they are sooooooo comfortable, I wore them to work today. Although I was apprehensive, I have a very small frame and there's no where for this baby to go but out!

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

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.

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.
