Maternity clothes poll

1. How far along are you?

22 weeks


2. Have you gotten many hand-me-down maternity clothes?

No, but a friend who is larger than me gave me a few things that are a size up 

3. About how much have you spent so far on new stuff?


Including new underwear, about $400-500.  I don't know how so many of you aren't spending more.  I think I have a pretty large wardrobe though it's a lot smaller than my regular wardrobe.  I packed away a lot of my pp clothes and I'm LOVING how much easier it is to get around my closet. 


4. What is your favorite place to shop/what is your favorite item so far? Bonus points for links or pics.


Ebay, Old Navy, H&M, Gap

5. Do you plan to loan out your stuff when you're done?

I will probably keep them for another pregnancy.  I would only give them out to my BFF who lives in Mexico now and says they don't have maternity clothes there.

Hmm...Maybe $400ish? Maybe a little more/little less

Every single item I've gotten has been from Target. I love all of their Liz Lange stuff. 

5. Do you plan to loan out your stuff when you're done?
Probably not. We are planning on having one fairly soon after (12-18 months) so I'll need them soon. But I might donate the stuff if we end up waiting.

1. How far along are you? 34 nearly 35 weeks

2. Have you gotten many hand-me-down maternity clothes? A co worker gave me a nice dress to wear to meetings, that is it.

3. About how much have you spent so far on new stuff? I bought a lot of stuff from thrift stores (jeans etc) so that saved me money. I probably spent about $500 total and I have tons of stuff and options.

4. What is your favorite place to shop/what is your favorite item so far? Bonus points for links or pics. Target Liz Lange I think. I bought some nice dresses there. I also got four really nice dresses from Express in the sale (not maternity but I sized up and they have ruching and still fit). Here is a pic of it on a non-pg model! I have it in a few different colours and the black helps me feel less huge! it's also not as short on me because I got the larger size.



5. Do you plan to loan out your stuff when you're done
No. I am hoping to have a second baby within a couple of years so I bought a storage bin to put my stuff in. I will give it away after the next pregnancy if I am lucky enough to have one. (after IF, nothing is a given).

2. Have you gotten many hand-me-down maternity clothes?
I'm gotten a decent number of hand me downs from my cousin, but she was due with her first in CA and I live in PA, so the seasons aren't lining up. 


3. About how much have you spent so far on new stuff?
I've spent $250 on new stuff, all my stuff is Gap, Old Navy, Target, and Kohl's. If something isn't at least 35% off at Gap, I won't buy it. I also only work part time teaching fitness classes, so I don't need dressy work clothes, which has really helped me to not spend much. And now that I'm close to the end, I can't stand the thought to spend money on clothes I'll wear for two months. 


4. What is your favorite place to shop/what is your favorite item so far? Bonus points for links or pics.
Gap and Target are my favorites. I had trouble finding longer shirts that I could wear with leggings, so I bought a longer cardigan that I can wear over my shorter shirts so it covers my butt a little more in leggings. Leggings are my favorite. 


5. Do you plan to loan out your stuff when you're done?
Not until we are done having kids, I don't loan things out unless I don't want it back.

1. 19 weeks
2. Yes, i got a bag of spring/summer maternity clothes from a friend. The rest are mine from prior pregnancies.
3. Probably $500. I had to buy a maternity suit for work and a few more tops and jeans (this sounds vain, but all of my maternity jeans from my last pregnancies were boot cut and I felt like they looked dated and wanted skinnies )
4. My ON dark wash skinny jeans and I bought a lot of cute work clothes from JCp.
5. I will probably yard sale it or donate it.

I made 1 trip to Target but I would not say that is my favorite place. Maternity jeans for Marshalls are my fav. I got them last pregnancy.
