2nd time moms, maternity clothing question.

CommAve07 · March 2011

Do you have everything you need from your past pregnancy already? Or is there much for you to buy? I just pulled out my maternity stuff and was shocked at how much I had. I forgot about most of it.... I was kindly given hand me downs from friends who were done having their babies so I was very fortunate. Might just pick up a few extra pieces, if I find things not fitting well.

My DD will be 5 in November, so I definitely need to go shopping this time around. I have now a pair of capris, a pair of shorts, two pairs of jeans (one if which is ugly haha...), a jacket, a long sleeve shirt, a 3/4 sleeve shirt, two short sleeve shirts and I think I have a coat somewhere around here. I think I might buy another pair of jeans or two and a couple more shirts.

I was given a ton of mat. clothes, but after I had Jack I gave them back and I gave what I had bought to my sister when she got pg.. So...I have just a few things. My sister was my main source of maternity clothes last time, and since she is 28 weeks pregnant right now...Im thinking I can buy a few things until she has the baby, then borrow the clothes back again!

I've got all winter stuff... jeans and sweaters, which I may be able to make use of when I'm huge, depending on the weather. I'm going to have to buy some summer stuff because there's no way I'm wearing sweaters and jeans during the summer.

I'm screwed. The majority of my hugeness will be in the summer this time. Winter last time. Oh well! Shop shop shop Big Smile

I have stuff of course, but I know I'll want to purchase some new things as well.

I wore a lot of my regular clothes during my first pregnancy and I regret doing so. I couldn't stand to look at those clothes after I had the baby.

I am showing earlier and will be pregnant in the summer as opposed to winter with my first pregnancy so yes I will need a ton of clothes.

I have all my old maternity clothes and they will work for most of the summer. I might buy a few more things.

JMKaut · March 2011

my boobs are a lot bigger now because of BFing and so most of the mat shirts are really short or just don't fit over the girls.

the pants and shorts still fit well, but they were so stretched out from being so huge that they aren't fitting super well...

I got a few things like shirts the other day, but not much.

Soon2BMrsN · March 2011

I think I will need some shorts, as I only have 1 pair (plus a denim skirt I can wear in warmer weather). Last time, I was pregnant from Oct-June and this time it will be Feb-Oct, so the seasons will be totally different. I have 5 pairs of pants (black dress, grey dress, khakis, 2 pairs of jeans). Most of the tops I wore were not actual maternity tops, but longer and/or flowier styles.

So... I plan to buy a couple of pairs of shorts and maybe a few new maternity tops to get through this time.

I didn't have much maternity clothes from Riley bc I didn't work at the time so I just hung out in sweats and basketball shorts most of the time. This time, I still stay at home but I watch kids out of my house and I go out a lot with Riley so I am going to need some jean shorts or something! I also have 5 weddings to go to so I need at least one nice summery dress...

This exactly.

MsTammy · March 2011

I gave all of my maternity clothes away after I had DD. My husband assured me we were done with 3. Yea, 16 months later......here comes #4.

So, I basically need to buy all new maternity clothes for what will probably be my last pregnancy. Im goingto stick with a lot of flowy sun dresses for the summer time that can be reused.

Sammy-Mae · March 2011

I was pregnant in the winter last time. We did go on a tropical vacation so I have a couple summer things, however, I will buy a bunch of dresses because I developed vericose veins in my hooha last time (awesome) So all I wanted to wear was Maternity underwear and dresses. So that is what I will do this time around. Skip buying the pants and just wear dresses.

Lambie. · March 2011

I was so pissed off after my last pregnancy I got rid of everything.

LisaMarie_ · March 2011

I didn't buy any maternity clothes with my first.. so I obviously don't have any maternity clothing, lol.

I'm hoping to not have to buy any with this one too!

Kml9876 · March 2011

I was pregnant with my son in the winter. Since I am going to be very pregnant in the Florida summer I will def need a whole new wardrobe.

ranfinwi · March 2011

I lent all my maternity clothes to my SIL who had a baby in September. 3 monthes later she found out she was pregnant again!! So she asked if she could keep them and I said sure. Even thought we were TTC, I didn't think it would have that soon, but sure enough 2 monthes after she announced, here I am!

Most of them were hand-me-downs that were too small for me (I am tall and most the shirts didn't cover my belly) and the stuff I bought was winter stuff and since I'll be pregnant in the summer I would have needed to get new items anyway.

Gina070605 · March 2011

I pretty much need all new stuff. I was in my 2nd and 3rd tri during the colder winter months with #1. With this one I will be in my 2nd & 3rd tri during the hot summer months. I'm planning on wearing a lot of tank tops and shorts and dresses.

Mereou12 · March 2011

I have the basics, but I'm still going to get a handful of new pieces.

It feels like I was just pregnant...and I'm still so sick of most of those clothes. It was really depressing looking through the box, thinking, "do I really have to wear this crap again?" I'm pretty much set on bottoms (jeans, capris, and a couple pairs of bermuda shorts), but I'm definitely going to be getting a few new tops.
