I got one pair of black work slacks from Seraphine (Stephania straight leg black maternity pants) and I love them. Sizing was great for me (it's truly just "buy whatever your pre-pregnancy size is") and they look crisp and professional (especially great if you're still not telling people at work for a while--I waited to tell anyone beyond my boss until ~6 months) while being very comfy.

Motherhood maternity had some nice ones a few years ago.

Agree, a belly band will get you through the next month or two until you fill out maternity pants. I got some black work slacks from Seraphine.

This was my suggestion too. Wear with longer tops.

Hatch on Poshmark.

Not for work but Walmart has cheap maternity leggings and jeans. I also bought a bunch of laluroe or however you spell it tops and they work well for maternity as they’re almost like tunics. Bought them new for like $5-10 pm postmark. Prefer pattern as they hide the bump better.

Rent the Runway is GREAT for maternity clothes.

You will not wear them very long. If you need some nice ones for work, I would look on Poshmark, oftentimes people will sell a whole maternity wardrobe at once and it will be almost new. Lots of stuff on there with tags still on too.

I’m 12 weeks pregnant and my pants are starting to get uncomfortable.
