Wait as long as possible so you don't outgrow your maternity pants. I waited until the beginning of month 6, and even though I can't wear them as long, that's when I really needed them b/c my thighs/butt were also growing by that time. If I had bought them earlier, they probably would have not fit in the thighs for long.

I hated spending the money, but was so glad once I did b/c it makes such a difference not to be squeezed in like a sausage!
