My bump was getting so big that some tops weren't fitting well so I needed some longer maternity tops. Glad I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530323 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:32:44 +0000 duckduckkristen 530323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no problem buying stuff up until the end. Most of my clothes were from Old Navy sales and I plan on having 4 kids so I knew it would all get worn again. I just tried to buy stuff that could be worn during any season (tees, tanks, cardigans, pants that could be rolled up, light blouses, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530304 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:06:36 +0000 BananaPancakes 530304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to buy stuff until the end. I was so huge from retaining water, I had to buy shoes to make it the last 4 weeks. I think I went shopping one last time around 35-36 weeks. I literally fit in nothing. Swelling stinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530289 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:50:03 +0000 shopaholic 530289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought most of my maternity clothes early on, but definitely by third trimester, I was NOT in the mood to buy any more maternity clothes. I started buying more regular clothes in larger sizes or just trying to maximize what I have. At this point, I'm sick of maternity panel anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530288 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:49:05 +0000 JessiBee 530288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy much at all in the third trimester...except an amazingly comfortable pair of fuzzy boots! BUT I also live decently far north, and I'm due in February, so the majority of my maternity-clothes-needing pregnancy has been in one clothing season: cold and layers. I've also done a lot of layering, wearing non-maternity cardigans and blazers open over maternity tops, letting me buy a lot less and wear things in more different weather. I've been bored with what I have the last few weeks, but at this point (37 weeks plus), there's no justifying anything new...and baby clothes are so much more fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530287 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:46:51 +0000 sslm 530287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 30 weeks and I'm trying not to buy anything else. It seems like a waste! I did buy some new stuff on Friday but I bought nursing tanks and a nursing sweatshirt so I can wear them after :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530252 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:58:43 +0000 birdofafeather 530252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought things up until maybe 33 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530237 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:47:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 530237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt start wearing maternity clothes until 27 weeks!</p> <p>So at like 28+ is when I bought the most stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530202 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:58:14 +0000 wheres_c 530202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 30weeks here </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530075 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 14:05:16 +0000 immabeetoo 530075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought new leggings at 36 weeks bc I was gigantic. I wore them hard until I delivered though so no regrets here and they were cheapie old navy nonmAternity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530062 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:53:43 +0000 HLK208 530062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped buying clothes at 30 weeks...I was so sick of being pregnant by that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530061 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:53:33 +0000 JerricaBenton 530061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I'm due in Feb - I was still buying things in November/December to get through the holidays. So for me it was probably 2 to 2 1/2 months out when I stopped buying maternity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530051 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:37:57 +0000 autumnlove 530051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I could use a few cute pieces! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530043 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:24:40 +0000 twinmama 530043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly was out of control at the end, but I worked until about 35 weeks, so I had to keep up a decent supply of pieces that fit and covered well. </p> <p>In the final month I bought 2 pr of regular xl yoga capris that stayed up ok, and 2 maternity tanks in xxl that would still cover my belly. Since I was home it was just nice to have something comfy that looked decent and covered the bump. It was like $40 for all 4 pieces and was definitely worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-530015 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 12:41:38 +0000 GrapeCrush 530015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped the last month and only bought one thing in the last month because I had a baby shower(I was in the wedding) so I had to dress a little nicer than what I had </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-529970 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 12:00:25 +0000 mrskc 529970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 32 weeks I stopped buying stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-529954 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 11:44:52 +0000 lomom 529954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 25 weeks and I don't think I'll buy anymore stuff. I have several tops and 4 pairs of pants that should take me through to the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-529943 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 11:30:29 +0000 ladyfingers 529943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I stopped buying when there was 2-3 months left? It sucks in the final weeks when nothing fits but I can't justify buying anything that I'll wear once or twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-529939 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 11:26:16 +0000 travelgirl1 529939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought until the end.....the weather changed and I needed long sleeved stuff so I got some, and to be honest wore it for about a month after having her as I put waaaay too much weight on and have still to get back into my regular stuff. Hoping I will do at some point though, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-529930 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 11:15:55 +0000 mrs. wagon 529930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought pieces all the way up to the end! I bought a dress for my shower and only wore it once. Haha. I've gotta get this stuff to the consignment store...!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-529925 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 11:11:28 +0000 rachiecakes 529925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I bought clothes until almost the end. It made me feel better, haha<br /> I was put in bed rest at 37 weeks and from there on out, it was yoga pants 24/7 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-think-it-was-too-late-to-buy-maternity-clothes#post-529917 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 10:57:23 +0000 autumnlove 529917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm gonna be 27 weeks soon and I am not sure if I should buy more maternity pieces. I might stick with wearing mostly non maternity pants that fall down! </p>
