I can't believe I was walking around like this...

Got back from the grocery store today and changed from my maternity jeans to my comfy pants.  I noticed for the first time that there's a rip in the butt of my jeans!  I don't know how long it's been there...hoping my long winter coat covered it. 

This is the 3rd pregnancy for these jeans, but I was hoping not to have to buy any new ones...but I think I have to.  They're my favorite.  I have a couple more hand-me-down maternity jeans but they don't fit as well.  Darn it...I hate having to buy new jeans that I will only wear for a few months.  I'm cheap.

Oh no. I hate that!

My SIL loaned me her maternity clothes. In tops, we wear the same, but her jeans are two sizes too big for me. I love them for the comfy factor and I really don't want to buy any, but omg. I can not handle looking like I pooped my pants while wearing them. Especially when the panel can been seen below my shirts because they sag so badly. I'm also cheap.

Maybe try second hand shops first?  That's where I've gotten pretty much all of my maternity clothes.  More variety on brands/fits and way cheaper.

I've had decent luck at thrift stores. They usually have a maternity section but, the shirts are always mixed in with regular ones, so you still have to search.

This. I spent $60 on a pair of jeans at Thyme and then discovered I could buy them at the consignment store up the road for $10 each. I took the jeans back to Thyme.
