Instead I lived in empire waist dresses and leggings. So comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-7504 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 11:39:38 +0000 Red 7504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was lucky to get a lot of hand-me-downs from my neighbor but when I did buy, it was from craigslist, target, burlington coat factory, and motherhood maternity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-7459 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:40:28 +0000 looch 7459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, that's the maternity uniform! Those Gap shirts are awesome...I still use mine 10 months post partum as pajama tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-7455 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 01:34:53 +0000 Boogs 7455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought Old Navy maternity pants with the full belly panel off eBay for $3! I would check there for pants. As far as shirts, I just wore a larger size in t-shirts for the most part. If you have a Burlington Coat Factory near you I just found out that they have a ton of stuff on the cheap. Oh, and JC Penney has a bit of good stuff, too.</p> <p>Oh, I found this post to be REALLY helpful: <a href="http://ohapostrophe.blogspot.com/2010/12/week-25.html" rel="nofollow">http://ohapostrophe.blogspot.com/2010/12/week-25.html</a> I have those same skinny jeans and the striped shirt, they were my most favorite things to wear and next time around I'll probably get a couple more shirts like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-7454 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 01:19:48 +0000 enjollah 7454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a couple casual jeans and pants at H&amp;M for a decent price. They also occasionally have a 20 or 25% coupon floating around on the internet too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-7411 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 16:52:26 +0000 Navy_Mommy 7411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been loving Motherhood clothes, I try not to pay full price for anything though. I just got some skinny jean capris on clearance for like $17 that are long enough to be worn with boots and you can't tell they're capris! I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-7367 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 11:14:25 +0000 Mrs. Schoolbus 7367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>forever 21 also has a maternity section. some H&amp;M's also have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6404 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:49:37 +0000 reggie 6404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Gap Maternity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6387 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:37:47 +0000 keiki_mama 6387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zappos also carries a some maternity clothes. Who knew?! Worthwhile to mention there's free shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6262 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:21:05 +0000 samantharose 6262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target! I've gotten to the 31 week mark with 1 pair of maternity capri jeans, 1 pair of full panel jeans, a few t-shirts, and MOST importantly - a long and stretchy maternity tank top or two. These are amazing, since you can layer on your pre-pregnancy clothes on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6242 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 08:21:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 6242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all i know is you guys have WAY MORE maternity clothes option than us in Canada! We don't have Gap / Old Navy Maternity. So its tough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6234 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 04:26:00 +0000 looch 6234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent as little as possible and bought as few items as possible so I wouldn't have any guilt getting rid of them. I was lucky that I could wear jeans to work, so I wore my 2 pairs of Gap jeans into the ground. I also had a denim pencil skirt, a few dresses and I had to buy a coat, that was fun. I went to TJMaxx and basically found the cheapest, size 2XX coat I could find and wore that. Worked great after my son was born too, I could wear him in his Ergo and put the coat on around that!<br /> I also needed new shoes, I had some crazy bloating in my ankles and feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6173 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:11:21 +0000 LivsMama 6173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>these pants for example</p> <p><a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS-ASOS-MATERNITY-Tab-Side-Wide-Leg-Pant/w3l7i/?iid=1561412&#038;cid=8345&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=1&#038;pgesize=20&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Black&#038;mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1NQVRFUk5JVFktVGFiLVNpZGUtV2lkZS1MZWctVHJvdXNlci9Qcm9kLw." rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/ASOS-ASOS-MATERNITY-Tab-Side-Wide-Leg-Pant/w3l7i/?iid=1561412&#038;cid=8345&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=1&#038;pgesize=20&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Black&#038;mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1NQVRFUk5JVFktVGFiLVNpZGUtV2lkZS1MZWctVHJvdXNlci9Qcm9kLw.</a>.</p> <p>you can still tuck a shirt in bc they dont have the huge panel </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6170 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:07:13 +0000 LivsMama 6170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it could be bloating that might go away. I didnt have any until way further on, but a lot of my friends had bad bloating that disappeared around weeks 12-15. If not though another thing I did for the werd transitional phase was buy suit pants in a larger size (like 2 sizes up) to fit my waist and have the legs tailored down. Good thing about Asos is they tend to carry the maternity pants with a side panel so you can still wear tucked in shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6165 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:49:02 +0000 winniebee 6165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ livs - thanks! i have a 2 week trial in December and will be about 15 wks...but am already having clothing crises! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6162 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:42:38 +0000 LivsMama 6162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee - I did a lot of shopping on Asos.com for suit like clothing. A lot of shift dresses with blazers. I mostly wore non-maternity blazers unbuttoned, but Asos did have some maternity blazers and dress pants</p> <p>I also got dress pants from Rosie Pope Maternity </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6124 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:33:39 +0000 hreichard 6124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had actually went to the goodwill, wears like new and other consignment places. I bought a few clothes at motherhood maternity if they were on sale. I couldnt afford a bunch of brand new clothes to only wear a few months. Plus i needed dressy clothes for work, so that got expensive quick. Check out your local consignment stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6045 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:59:51 +0000 winniebee 6045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need tips for maternity SUITS - ugh, yes. They are awful. And I need some for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-6016 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:13:04 +0000 katdevargas 6016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bunch of tunic-y shirts from thrift stortes that I've been able to fit into so far {22 wks}, a gf let me borrow a bunch of stuff that she had, I found a few really great items at a community-wide garage sale that I went to recently, &amp; my mom &amp; gma bought me a few things when they found out I was pregnant {motherhood maternity - cheap, but not great quality}. I'm hoping what I have will get me through the entire pregnancy as I'd prefer not to have to buy anything else. Except bras. I think I'll probably end up needing more of those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-5983 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:27:19 +0000 Andrea 5983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy many actual maternity clothes because I didn't like them. I did buy maternity leggings and then one size bigger long tops/sweaters to go over. But if you want actual maternity clothes, Gap and Old Navy are not too expensive and they have sales all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-5980 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:02:34 +0000 mediagirl 5980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loft used to be Ann Taylor Loft and is my absolute favorite place to buy regular clothes. We dont' ahvea Just Between Friends near me either, @jennylynn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-5979 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:00:45 +0000 jennylynn 5979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from a small town i Indiana, so unfortunately I've never heard of Just Between Friends or Loft. But I'll be checking around online to see if they're nearby. Thanks for the suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-5974 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 14:51:24 +0000 BSB 5974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you heard about Just Between Friends consignment? <a href="http://www.jbfsale.com/default.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.jbfsale.com/default.cfm</a></p> <p>Is there one near you? When I get pregnant, that's where I'm going to get most of my maternity wear since I don't want to wear full priced materinity wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-5970 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 14:32:52 +0000 mediagirl 5970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have found a bunch of people in my area selling their maternity clothes on Craigslist. There are a bunch who sell them during yard sales, as well. A lot of the CL posts I have seen even have dates and specifics like "only used for one pregnancy" or "Fall and Winter clothes," stuff like that. </p> <p>Did you all know that Loft has a maternity line online now? I'm so scouting CL for their stuff. Too darn expensive to buy for just 6 or 7 months!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-clothes#post-5961 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 14:07:52 +0000 jennylynn 5961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just casual mostly. I wear scrubs for work, so hopefully I'll get by with what I have already. Just looking for normal, everyday wear.
