How much fun is maternity clothes shopping!!!

Okay, I know I am only 13 weeks, 3 days, but I am already showing...a lot, 2nd baby and I have a fibroid which makes me look slightly bigger!  I just spent the past two hours shopping for maternity clothes at Old Navy and it was so much fun!  I don't remember it being this much fun 7 years ago!  I must admit my hormones have been out of wack and I have been an emotional roller coaster the past couple of weeks but this shopping trip was exactly what the doctor ordered!!!!

Anyway I just had to post my excitement!!! 

Hope all the mommies to be are having a great Wednesday!!!

    Fun? None. I didn't check but I can only assume this is your first pregnancy and you're not very far along. 

    I dread going maternity shopping. I am pregnant with #3 and refuse to go buy some more clothes so I am continuing to do the good ol rubber band trick.

    I don't like it at all.  I can't find any pants that fit good.  I am a pre preg 0/2 and it's hard to find pants that are that small.   The thought of it irritates me, I am dreading my next shopping trip

    No

    Not for me. I have a very small frame, and very long legs, so I can't find anything that fits. Add to that, not wanting to pay a fortune for everything, and I have a very hard time. Oh, and did I mention the nearest maternity clothes are an hour and a half from where I live?

    Glad its exciting for you!

    I was very anti-maternity clothes shopping until I started shopping on eBay.  I'm totally a bargain hunter, and I have found some gorgeous clothes on eBay for just a couple of bucks.  I don't think I've ever dressed so well in my life.

    I've enjoyed it too.  I haven't done much, but the small amount I've gotten has been fun. Feeling better in clothes (not squished and bloated) and actually looking pregnant is exciting

    Like I said, I didn't check. And in 7 years, yeah it is pretty much like starting over.

    I am not enjoying maternity clothes shopping at all.  Everything i found has been ugly, doesn't fit right, or is overpriced for the poor quality.  I was able to find a few things at Old Navy when I first got pregnant, but they have since stopped carrying maternity clothing at all of their local stores.  I can sew and I am thinking about just finding a few maternity patterns and making my own clothes now.

    Talk about raining on parade...GEEZ!  Perhaps I shouldn't post my excitment anymore Crying  I really did enjoy it!  I guess I figure I can't keep squeezing in to my regular clothes so I mine as well enjoy the process!

    Good luck ladies!

    Don't let them get you down!  I love shopping.  Even for maternity clothes.  I already have a pretty extensive maternity wardrobe, but alas, I was on line browsing today.  What can I say, I'm a sucker for elastic waists and tunic shirts.

    Glad you are feeling well and having fun shopping!

    It depends on the day for me.  Sometimes maternity shopping is fun and other times, well, I'm just not feeling it.

    I didn't like it much due to everything being too expensive or too cheap looking until I found Gap Maternity.  It was like a light shined down from above.  It helped me feel "normal" again, at least for a little bit.  It can be fun (in it's own way) if you are finding stuff that works for you!

    Ugh, this is my first baby and I HATE maternity shopping. It is so hard to find clothes! Every store I go to has about two maternity racks with mostly old ladyish clothing... sorry if I offend anyone. I tried Motherhood Maternity too but I am not happy about paying $25.00 for a t-shirt! Sigh... glad you enjoyed it though. :)
