Seriously...bloat

I didn't get maternity pants or leggings until I was 5mths. I had bloat but I don't remember it being this bad at all.

Today I caved in and bought some leggings and a pair of maternity dress pants (not full panel). I used the hairtie trick and a band and hated feeling I was losing pants or the button pushing into me.

I'm so not ready to switch over.

Is there anyone out there that has started wearing leggings or maternity pants?

Are there any 2or more mommy's that had to wear them earlier compared to your first?
