Not even planning to TTC until the spring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-35038 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:26:50 +0000 Penny Lane 35038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just out of curiosity (hope I'm not thread jacking!!) where is everyones favourite places to look? I think looking would be fun, but I wouldn't know where to start! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-34794 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:05:20 +0000 CarrieLouWho 34794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love looking for maternity clothes and always want to purchase, but pull myself away... I always feel like I'm jinxing myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-34036 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:52:26 +0000 TheFixIts 34036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>GUILTY. AND I have to admit that I even purchased a super cute maternity top off of zulily not that long ago. It's really just a banded tank, but I do enjoy picturing filling it out with a bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30966 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:15:24 +0000 carrieknitscake 30966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't mention in my previous post that I'm saving a few Old Navy giftcards for maternity clothes. So again, I'm that person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30942 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:57:26 +0000 sorrycharlie 30942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tana_bk: my DH does too! I told him just once I want him to be excited -- he says when I'm pregnant. Lol.</p> <p>I looked only because I was nervous about cost! But target, at least, wasn't too bad. I am wary of looking because I live in a small town, if anyone saw me looking I'd be in trouble! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30940 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:56:39 +0000 Mrs. D 30940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looked at the section in catalogues but I never looked in stores, and I didn't go into the stores until I had no choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30939 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:53:09 +0000 chopsuey 30939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.VW: I used to put things in my shopping cart (online) too. :P I was really tempted to go into a maternity store and try clothes but I resisted. I've always wanted to try on those bellies. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30907 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:40:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 30907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look at them too. Every time I see a maternity clothing store I want to go in so bad. But I'd feel like too much of a poser. And my husband would probably drag me away from the entrance. That is what he does now when we pass the baby section in stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30812 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:27:12 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 30812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister actually owns maternity clothes and isn't pregnant. She just finds it comfy and flattering seeing she has a belly. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30752 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:20:14 +0000 carrieknitscake 30752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: haha, you're not alone in enjoying that make believe world! I lived there for a better part of last year dreaming of pregnancy and baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30735 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:45:34 +0000 oliviaoblivia 30735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@carrieknitscake: I know! It's totally a make-believe day-dream land I'm living in. Not to mention that I've picked out all winter maternity clothes! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30722 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:24:31 +0000 carrieknitscake 30722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I did the not buying clothes thing for awhile. However, I reached a point at about cycle 2 or 3 that I said I need some new clothes. So, I bought them anyway because you don't know how long it's going to take you to conceive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30717 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:22:28 +0000 oliviaoblivia 30717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not pregnant, about to start TTC, and I have a "cart" of maternity clothes ready to order. I think it's normal to daydream about that kind of stuff. I have a private registry where I keep track of products people have recommended here. So why not figure out what type of clothes I'll need now too?</p> <p>And I admit I have hesitated buying new clothes lately because it won't fit (fingers-crossed) in a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30667 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:55:19 +0000 HabesBabe 30667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: ditto to this, sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30633 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:43:41 +0000 carrieknitscake 30633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guilty as well. I have may purchased two tops. One of them is knitting related, so I went for it. It's red, has a ball of yarn, and says "WIP" which means "Work in Progress." Knitter speak for a project currently being worked on.</p> <p>I also bought a bit of baby stuff too. Once we started trying, I stopped buying because it felt like a big jinx. Did I mention how I bought an Alcatraz onesie when we were San Francisco!?! Yep, I'm that person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30628 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:40:52 +0000 mediagirl 30628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's weird but...I'm pregnant and I hate looking for maternity clothes now! I just hear people saying that you shouldn't buy too much too early because you'll grow out of it. But I don't want to buy clothes 2 times for one pregnancy!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30624 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:38:46 +0000 SouthPaw 30624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>&lt;--- guilty of that too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30606 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:30:41 +0000 heffalump 30606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always did that too. Now that I have the baby but still have the baby weight... I'm happy to stay away from maternity clothes for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30588 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:23:10 +0000 eupenmalmody 30588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally did this before getting pregnant!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30583 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:20:11 +0000 cyndistar3 30583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now days theres so much cute maternity clothes and most of it you can't even tell that it's supposed to be maternity so I definitely don't think it's weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30577 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:16:20 +0000 ALittleP 30577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it! And, now that I'm pregnant, I am scared to buy any even though I can't wait for my bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30554 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:05:37 +0000 Mrs.VW 30554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost think it's MORE fun when you're not :)) Atleast from what I hear. I'm sure it's frustrating trying to dress a bump but right now it's sounds so fun! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30550 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:03:58 +0000 tequiero21 30550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha i'm pregnant and i still don't want to buy maternity clothes (think it's a waste of money!!!). i broke down and went shopping once and got some leggings and a sweater! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30549 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:03:28 +0000 chopsuey 30549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to look at maternity clothes when i wasn't pregnant too! you're not alone!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-at-maternity-clothes-but-not-pregnant#post-30547 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:02:35 +0000 Mrs.VW 30547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one that does this :) I think it keeps me preoccupied during the TWW.
