I ended up taking some of your advice and just get rid of the stuff I didn't want to wear! It's one of those things that I will end up wearing them even if I don't want to because I have them, but if I get rid of them, no more frumpy! haha I love getting rid of stuff, now I just have to figure out where to go on to next!</p> <p>Those of your who pack stuff away and save it for later, that's a great idea too! That's kinda what I do expect put it away. If I haven't worn it in the last couple of months, purge it!</p> <p>Thanks again ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91811 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:46:12 +0000 autumnlove 91811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love purging...I got rid of stuff I was hanging onto for no reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91809 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:41:31 +0000 Andrea 91809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say go for a purge. It doesn't sound like you want to wear some of that stuff anyway. </p> <p>There was some stuff I didn't feel was "mom" and I remember getting rid of it. Like my shortest skirts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91798 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:26:57 +0000 pastemoo 91798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Oh, then it's worth it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91781 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 20:18:53 +0000 chopsuey 91781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just put my smaller clothes away as my body started getting bigger. :P and donated clothes I knew I'd never wear again post baby. I would get rid of the clothes you don't like right now. It'll make you feel good! :) Do some spring cleaning in your closet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91750 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 18:53:31 +0000 mamabolt 91750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am constantly purging my wardrobe, and during pregnancy has been no different. In the early part of my pregnancy I was just throwing everything that didn't fit into big tupperware bins, but today I actually went through all of it, sorted it into work/casual clothes, and got rid of a chunk of it that I likely won't wear again. I'll do the same thing when I unpack it all in the fall. I love looking my my closet now and seeing only stuff that I like and that fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91745 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 18:40:57 +0000 heffalump 91745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got rid of things I knew I'd never wear again. Like my teeny tiny clothes that I would I will never again fit into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91733 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:44:28 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 91733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you were going to get rid of them anyway I would just go ahead and do it. Otherwise I hid clothes I didn't like when I was pregnant and have only recently gone through and made decisions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91730 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:38:19 +0000 yoursilverlining 91730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently got rid of tons of clothes I doubt I'll wear post-baby. Some are size 0 which I doubt I will be again (I was a 4 before pregnancy, and will try to get back there, but probably won't get smaller/slimmer in the hips again). I also got rid of "clubby" type outfits from my early 20's. I don't plan on dressing like a frumpy mom once LO is here...but some outfits just were not especially useful to my current lifestyle anymore. It felt so good to free up space in my closet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91729 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:38:18 +0000 mediagirl 91729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: it was mostly clothes that had shrunk I the wash or stuff that was old that I'd been holding onto too long. Nesting in an odd sort of way. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91724 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:29:05 +0000 pastemoo 91724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I don't even have 5 bags of clothes total, includin regular and maternity (and excluding my wedding dress, which might take up 5 bags on its own).<br /> I won't allow myself to get rid of anything now because I don't know what size I'll be after baby, but I do know I won't want to go shopping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91715 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:01:28 +0000 mediagirl 91715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I don't wear something for a year, it goes. I think I purge to make up for my husband's lack of ability to purge!! I got rid of 5 bags of clothes during my pregnancy so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91709 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 16:24:17 +0000 pelikila 91709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm of the mind that if you were planning on going through your closet anyway, go ahead and throw it. I don't like to keep more than I use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91708 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 16:07:44 +0000 betsyboop 91708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been good about keeping my closet tight and donate clothes to Salvation Army regularly. But pregnancy forced me to give everything in my closet another look, and I ended up selling a ton of it via consignment with Second Time Around! I'm glad I did, but we'll see how I feel in May when I have nothing to wear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91702 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 15:35:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 91702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I find myself torn on getting rid of stuff, I put it away for 6 months. If I still feel the same then, I donate it! I have all my off-season clothes in a suitcase in the closet. You could do the same with the clothes you aren't sure if you'll want later :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ladies-get-rid-of-clothes-while-pregnant#post-91700 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 15:31:45 +0000 aMohror 91700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the biggest urge to go through my closet right now and just get rid of a bunch of stuff! Even before I got pregnant I had been wanting to get rid of clothes in my closet that were just old and things that are getting worn out. Some of them have nothing wrong with them I just don't want them. I feel frumpy in them! I'm afraid if I do this now then after I'm pregnant I won't have anything to wear. At the same time I want new clothes anyway...haha </p> <p>Have any of you ladies done this or been through this. Advice please! </p>
