It was long enough to get through to the end...and I second the idea of dresses, which are so comfortable and you can wear to work. </p> <p>Good luck finding something that works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271764 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:45:00 +0000 matador84 271764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't bought maternity clothes in forever...since before 6 months! I have just been letting it all hang out this last month or so...and I don't even care! I did have a lot of dresses to begin. Shirts are too short and forget about pants...even stretchy ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271755 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:37:56 +0000 MusicaV 271755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: Undecided, but I'm strongly leaning towards adoption if we decide to expand our family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271565 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:24:54 +0000 cvbee 271565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MusicaV: are you going to have another baby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271556 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:17:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 271556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my last few things at 30 weeks. one shirt I got that I still wear was a side ruched top from motherhood and I love it. I still really like how it fits and it was one of the only ones that fit until the end of my pregnancy.<br /> I think it was this one: <a href="http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=93199Z20017&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC2" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=93199Z20017&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271495 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:28:39 +0000 MusicaV 271495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! I went to the mall this afternoon, but I only lasted about 20 minutes before I got discouraged and exhausted. I'll try again after my dr. appt on Tuesday, assuming I'm not showing any signs of impending labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271470 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:08:35 +0000 mrsjyw 271470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't bought any since the middle of 2nd trimester. Don't plan on buying anymore besides a couple pairs of thicker leggings and maybe a fall coat/jacket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271304 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:55:18 +0000 SleepyMonkey 271304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For work clothes, I'd probably buy a couple new tops and a skirt if my current wardrobe stopped fitting. I'm hoping that doesn't happen, but my belly growth has been so fast in the last 2.5 months that I'm getting nervous about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271289 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:30:27 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 271289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that point I bought some side ruched, non maternity shirts that covered my belly, they still worked great post partum. I think that they didn't stretch out as bad because I didn't wear them for as long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271256 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:33:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 271256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I broke down and bought a pair of jeans and two skirts at 33 weeks. My work dresses are starting to get a little short. Hopefully my shirts work until the end now at 34 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271255 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:31:02 +0000 pastemoo 271255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ALSO&lt; i wore those dresses for the first 2 weeks post partum. Definitely worth it for me. Mine are "nursing friendly" like @bcpmarj's and I wear them still.<br /> I just did laundry often---I had only 3 outfits that fit at the end and wore them each every 3rd day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271254 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:26:44 +0000 bpcmarj 271254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you plan on nursing, target has some maternity shirts and dresses that are also nursing appropriate. They are labeled as "nursing friendly". I am nearly 4 months pp and atill wearing one of the dresses:) You may also find that you are wearing your maternity shirts longer than expected, as most of my regular shirts were too tight on my belly and boobs until recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271249 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:13:50 +0000 mrskc 271249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still working, so 2 shirts wouldn't cut it for me. I would definitely need at least 5, so I would be heading out to get a few more. I'm hoping I don't have to buy anymore at this point (31 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271247 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:11:23 +0000 autumnlove 271247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a dress a month before my EDD for my baby shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271244 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:09:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 271244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 36 weeks I bought one more shirt because I couldn't stand any of my clothes any more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271237 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:03:01 +0000 Tidybee 271237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also facing the same problem. I went to a consignment store yesterday and got 5 pieces for fall for $53, including 2 cardigan type sweaters that I can probably wear after the baby is born. I'm hoping to work as long as possible so I'm a little nervous about having clothes that still fit. I may just suck it up and literally buy just 5 outfits and wear one each day of the week. I think by then I won't really care that I'm repeating so often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271231 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:57:17 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 271231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in your same boat....I just think its too late to go buying stuff now, especially since my doctor recommended I watch my intake and taper off my weight gain.<br /> I probably should get some things but I refuse. I am 33w2d and honestly...I *can* wear all my stuff and it looks OK but it feeellls so tight and uncomfortable.<br /> At home I live ...LIVE....in yoga shorts and a cami.<br /> I will continue to buy bras though! But, I am making all of them nursing bras so they can be used for some time afterward...and I'm making them cute so I could possibly wear them for a few weeks after nursing ends too and be in no rush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271230 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:55:09 +0000 DillonLion 271230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still plan to be working at that point...and I couldn't wear the same two shirts to work everyday. I'd be heading to the store to pick up a few last minute items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271229 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:54:45 +0000 eeh 271229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refused to buy anymore clothes after about 35 weeks but I also wasn't working and rarely had to change out of yoga pants and my husband's tshirts.</p> <p>I know that isn't an option for most. Do you plan on being pregnant again in the future? If so, but more clothes because you'll use them again. If not, I'd buy one or two cheap clearance shirts that are really versatile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271228 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:54:00 +0000 pastemoo 271228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought 2 dresses in the last month--so glad I did! Everything else showed the underbelly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271225 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:51:19 +0000 sorrycharlie 271225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 36 weeks Tuesday, and I bought a shirt last week. But only because target had clearance and it was $6, lol. Otherwise I'm just sticking it out and rewashing the same few that still cover my belly :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-you-didwould-buy-maternity-clothes#post-271219 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:46:40 +0000 MusicaV 271219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 36 weeks, I'm down to two shirts I can confidently wear out of the house. I have a few shirts that are borderline appropriate, and quite a few things that don't fit anymore. My belly has gotten so big and so low that most shirts just aren't covering it.</p> <p>It's possible that I could be pregnant for 6 more weeks, or less than a week. I'm thinking about shopping the clearance racks for a few cheap tops (already checked the thrift shops - nothing). What would you do? </p>
