I want to go shopping for clothing, shoes and coats SO BADLY. But, I keep thinking 'if I get pregnant this cycle, these won't fit me this winter'. Ugh..
So annoying.
Should I do it anyways? I mean, I don't think I got big with my son until like 20 weeks anyways.

Yup, I've had that dilemma a bunch of times.
I've been squeezing into smaller jeans and I realized that I doubt I would get smaller so I might as well buy clothes that fit me right. Guess I'm just hoping that at some point, I'll be back to my pre-pregnancy weight. If not, they could just go to goodwill.Oh, during my in between sizes phase, I was so close to buying a belly band to prevent me from buying the next size. Haha!

Yes! I just bought 2 pairs of nice jeans since it's been so long. I had been living in shorts/skirts/dresses all summer bc we had an awesome summer in the Seattle area but now that it's fall/winter I needed some new jeans badly bc my prepregnancy ones just don't fit right anymore (I'm constantly having to pull them up bc they are too low rise and not suitable for playing on the ground with a toddler). I kept thinking I shouldn't be buying these jeans bc hopefully I'll be pregnant soon...but I really needed them so I figure I'll wear them for a few months and then be motivated to lose the weight again to fit into them again

@TurtleDoves: shop! I do find myself going after oversized sweaters when I've been shopping lately.
-
@TurtleDoves: I am in the same boat. If I were you, I'd go ahead and get shoes but wait on shirts and pants.

This was my entire reality from March-August. I lost a bunch of weight from last summer to this one, and literally nothing fit. BUT, I didn't want to buy new things, because of the "what-if". I was so miserable, because I thought (probably correctly) and felt that I looked so slouchy All. The. Time. I think that's partly why I was so excited to get some maternity clothes, and why I like how they make me feel now!
Honestly, if I were you, and I could go back and do it again, I would take some reasonable amount of money, maybe $100 or so, and get a few things that will make you feel happy about how you look. Besides, if you get some longer sweaters, you can wear them for a while, even if you are pregnant!

Do it anyways!!!! After my mc prior to C I needed some retail therapy and had the same question, knew we had a zillion weddings the coming summer and knew dress shopping under pressure wasn't going to be fun. I bought some wicked dresses, then look what happened! It *could* jynx it you know

I didn't buy new clothes all spring or summer for this reason. I'm still not pregnant and I decided to go ahead any buy a few fall things. I would buy them. Like you said, even if you do get pregnant you still might not be too big to wear certain things.

@Beebug: I like the way you think. You're telling me: the more $$ I spend on items that I can't return, the quicker i'll get knocked u? I'm doing it!! hehe
Ok--so you ladies gave me the nudge I needed (who are we kidding?) to go shopping.
I think i'll buy tops that I can wear through the winter (the furthest along i'll be this winter is 22w). And I'll buy normal pants because when I out-grow them, i'll just use my maternity pants.@littlek: I want these but I need some leather boots too and some pumps. I need lots of shoes right now. All mine is really on their last leg.

@TurtleDoves: Aghhhhh, nice!!! I want to go shopping so bad. I don't really need anything though. Except a pair of brown flat boots. I'm hoping DH will get me a pair of Frye boots for Xmas. I've been such a good girl.
