None of my friends were preg on the same season or my size so I had to go it alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300314 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:24:16 +0000 Beebug 300314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent a lot, but also was loaned a lot, so everything I bought will be loaned back to the person who loaned me lots of theirs, it was a HUGE help for me, and I hope my collection can help her as well and returns the favour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300310 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:17:34 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 300310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a group of women who all shared our maternity clothes. It was kind of awesome because there were like 6 of us and each woman added the clothes that she bought... so what started as a couple of boxes of clothes ended up being a massive treasure trove of maternity wear. (And I still didn't have anything to wear by 38 weeks!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300306 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:12:51 +0000 mamabolt 300306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would to my sister or a close friend now with the expectation I'd get them back, and once I'm done having kids would give them to anyone who needed them. A coworker of mine lent me three garbage bags full! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300169 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:48:16 +0000 dookie32 300169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are a nice friend :). I'm honestly really picky about my clothes and I wouldn't trust someone else to take care of them- I'm like that with regular clothes too. I spent a decent amount on maternity clothes knowing we were going to have 2 kids so hopefully I'm pregnant again in the same season :)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300152 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:40:27 +0000 pinkcupcake 300152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Awesome idea!</p> <p>Most of my clothes were pretty worn but I wouldn't mind lending out the nicer pieces. I'd do with the mind that it might get ruined/stained, though, and just think that I'm giving it to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300138 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:29:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 300138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: that is so cool :) does she love it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300118 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:21:39 +0000 mrsjyw 300118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: hehe that's where she works! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300116 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:21:25 +0000 Mrsbells 300116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I dont like sharing clothes. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300112 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:20:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 300112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: how awesome would it be to be pregnant while working at a yoga clothing store- leggings everyday?!? Love it!! I would love to work at lulu lemon!</p> <p>I bought hardly any clothes- two jeans, 1 sweater, and a few tops. If someone asked I would but since have next to nothing it wouldn't make much of a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300075 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:02:51 +0000 Mrs. Bee 300075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I did and got them back for olive. Now she's pregnant with her second, do I'm giving them back to her. The clothes survived 4 pregnancies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-300009 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:37:20 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 300009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I toooootallly get you. I want to lend out maternity clothing but I want it to be in good shape by the time I have #2. I think I'll lend them if a friends ASKS but I won't offer....I think all the friends I have take pretty darn good care of their things anyways so I guess it's dumb for me to be worried </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299863 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:39:36 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 299863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I so do! And it's going to get passed along amongst our close group of friends. We're doing a sisterhood of the traveling maternity pants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299776 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:09:18 +0000 shopaholic 299776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyboecksmom - What a great idea!</p> <p>I haven't heard of any of my mommy friends ever lend or give each other maternity clothes? I suspect b/c most of them just kept buying/wearing regular clothes. I probably would if someone really close to me asked, but it doesn't seem to be a thing anyone does in my circle of friends. Probably cuz we're all shopaholics (and being in the fashion industry) and everyone wants new clothes all the time! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299763 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:03:19 +0000 kml636 299763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299744 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:52:13 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 299744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I loaned out every single item of maternity clothing I own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299695 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:25:49 +0000 AprilK 299695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have loaned mine out to a friend who I KNOW is really careful and will take care of them.... she even mentioned to me rotating through pieces to be mindful not to wear them out, so I know they are in good hands. But overall I've been kind of stingy about it - I spent alot of money on maternity wear and want to be able to use it all again and want it to be in good shape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299693 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:25:10 +0000 yin 299693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my sister borrow some of my maternity clothes, and I know she will return them to me when I'm ready for #2. I'm also looking forward to borrowing some of her clothes too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299643 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:04:17 +0000 littlebug 299643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would except that a) most of my friends are done having babies and b) the only people who are having babies are either nowhere near the same size as me or live in Georgia and won't need my winter maternity clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299638 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:02:11 +0000 pastemoo 299638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: cool!@mediagirl: me too, except my pea coat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299636 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:01:58 +0000 winniebee 299636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent a lot (probably $1000) on clothes but happy she will be able to use them....and maybe I won't ever have a kid in winter again, who knows! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299616 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:54:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 299616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will, I figured I have no idea if I will be in the same season or not, so I will lend them out to people who need them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299612 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:53:21 +0000 mediagirl 299612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave it away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299611 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:51:51 +0000 lavender 299611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My maternity wadrobe was 90% my sis's. None of my friends are my size really but certain pieces I would lend out but expect them back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299605 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:49:34 +0000 Honeybee 299605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! After DD was born, a friend gave me all her maternity clothes (she was done having kids). I boxed up my clothes and her clothes and lent them out to a third friend. When that friend was done, she added her clothes to the box and passed them on. I got the box back (it's now like two giant storage containers) and was surprised to see so many new, awesome items! Right now the boxes are just sitting in my storage, but if another friend needs them before I do again, I'm happy to pass them on. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299602 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:47:26 +0000 Lozza 299602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I let three friends rifle through all my stuff, even the nice stuff. I figure it's good for karma. There's one friend who is totally wearing out my nicest shirt, but I figure that's what friends are for, and in the greater scheme of life, it's no big deal :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299591 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:42:15 +0000 DillonLion 299591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put together a large maternity wardrobe that was all bought brand New. I don't want to risk lending it out and never seeing it again, since I definitely want to use it for number 2. I might lend out one or two specific things if someone needs it but I won't be sending the whole collection out to anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299576 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:36:47 +0000 BeachMama 299576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated buying maternity clothes so yes I would lend them out, with the expectation they'd be returned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299545 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:28:49 +0000 blackbird 299545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! A friend let me borrow a tub of maternity clothes and they are great transition clothes for me! She is a little smaller so her stuff will fit me well for the next few months. I'll be returning the favor when she's having her second. Nothing in the box is super expensive by any means--shirts from Target and JCPenney, etc. It was super super nice of her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lend-out-maternity-clothes#post-299541 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:27:36 +0000 heffalump 299541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, but I would just let her know that I wanted them back when she was finished. </p>
