I was wondering where everyone gets their maternity clothes? I'm only 4 weeks but have been bloated since my ER. I look about 12 weeks to be honest! haha.
Last pregnancy I bought all of my maternity clothes at Motherhood Maternity. I think their clothes are cute and cheap :-)
The only thing I may invest in this time around is a really good pair of jeans. My Motherhood ones gave me saggy ass and all my friends said the only ones that didn't were designer jeans.
I would suggest visiting your local thrift and consignment stores. I bought 3 shirts, 2 pairs of pants plus one item for each of my DD's for less than one pair of pants would normally cost. This is where I have found almost all of my maternity clothes this time. They are just not worn enough to get worn out. GL!
I'll check out all these places. Yes, we have a BCF but I havent heard of Gordmans (i'll google)!
I'm lucky because I only work 3 days a week and can wear my pjs if I want! I'm a nanny. But I would like to look 'normal' on some days and nights if we go out with friends!
I have gotten a lot of clothes from goodwill, i went on wed. and bought 5 items 2 pairs of work slacks, and 3 blouses for $26 they were all motherhood, w/ exception of 1 old navy blouse.
I guess it all is relative to what you/I think is "cheap". With DD1, I bought most everything new but now life with 2 kids, if I can find something for $5 - WHY NOT?! While $25 for a shirt at Motherhood is cheap to some, not many of those are in the cards for me this time.
Try to find a baby consignment shop near you. I live in a pretty big city, and I have three that I visit with consistency. Besides having super cute and super discounted baby stuff, they usually have an awesome maternity section. because it's consignment not donations (like goodwill) it's usually pretty high-end stuff and in excellent condition. That's where I've done all of my shopping so far, and i've gotten some amazing cute pieces for super cheap

Ditto!
I've seen lots of secondhand maternity clothes listed in the Baby Stuff section of Craigslist. I can't promise it would be cute, though.
