How much have you spent on maternity clothes?

marleysimon · January 2012

So far I've spent the following:

Target - $70 Gap online- $34 (although prob returning) Ingrid & Isabel online- (or whatever it?s called)-$55 Pea in the Pod- $125

About $284, I guess?

This hasn't really resulted in much clothing. 2 pairs of pants (one work and one casual), 2 dresses, 2 casual tops and 2 sweaters. I'm still getting by with a Bella band most of the time.

I think we're lucky with June due dates (at least where I live), b/c spring clothes will be cheaper than if we were in our later months in the winter.

I am trying to avoid it because I have spring/summer maternity clothes from my pregnancy with DD (she was born in aug)

So far I can still wear 2 pairs of pre-preg jeans and since I SAH I rock yoga pants and sweats most days

I've probably spent around $200 maybe. My mom bought me about $50 worth. I work from home so I don't need work clothes which has helped otherwise I would have probably spent more. I've just started to wear them full time now as I think my belly looks actually PG and not fat since last week.

TnG05 · January 2012

I'm thinking a little over $150 two pair of jeans, black dress pants, jogging suit, and tanks from Old Navy.

alisonann15 · January 2012

Between Gap and Destination Maternity I have spent about $220 I am guessing.

Only have 2 pairs of pants, 5 shirts, and 2 dresses. Bought a Bella Band as well that I can wear too most of the time.

lpichach · January 2012

I'm terrible, i havent' actually spent a dime on "maternity clothes" per say. I did buy 2 or 3 shirts at christmas and 2 dresses the other day that will fit when not pregnant, and they'll work for likely up to another month or two... they're like loose fitting, frilly front shirts....

I'm trying to hold off on getting mat specific clothes until the last possible moment!! lol

Ncaminiti · January 2012

probably about 300 so far, i just placed an order at motherhood last night.

I've gotten:

2 leggings
2 pair of jeans
1 skirt
6 tee
1 cardiagain sweater
2 camis
2 packs undies
1 yoga pant
1 hoodie for the spring jacket
2 sweaters
1 tunic top

I had some stuff that worked for my last pregnancy, but the tees need to be replaced and I was in maternity from june - oct so it's not a lot of winter. I decided to do more layering so things work longer.

KCheam2006 · January 2012

I've spent about $250, and it didn't result in much either. I got 4 pants (2 jeans, 2 work), 3 sweaters, a T-Shirt, and a bella band. Thank goodness my cousin is loaning me some maternity clothes because it is expenisive!

returning_bump_member · January 2012

Let's see...

Gap $85

Target $30

Kohl's $100

About $215 I guess. I'm really hoping that most of my long sun dresses will look okay with my big ole belly once it warms up.

Discordia1030 · January 2012

$5. I have a bunch from DS' pregnancy, plus MIL got me a bunch of things for Christmas. Also, I can still fit in pp jeans but like Holly, I SAH and spend my days in yoga pants most of the time.

topaz7777 · January 2012

100 so far, the rest were hand me downs.

Oem617 · January 2012

I have spent about $100 at Target, $60 at Gap and $50 at Macys. I also recieved a $50 Gift Card to Motherhood that I used. I got a pair of jeans, 3 work pants, leggings and like 5 or 6 tops. I still would like to get some spring/ summer stuff because when I went they did not have any. Any probably a dress for my shower.

MrsC968 · January 2012

I think I've "spent" between $225-250 from MH, Target, ON, and Kohls, but almost all of it were giftcards. That consisted of a pair of jeans, 4 short sleeves tops, a tank top, 6-7 long sleeve shirts/sweaters. I got another pair of jeans from a friend and some short sleeve & 1/2 length sleeve shirts from a different friend.

I can still wear a few of my longer regular shirts and a pair of jeans. I think I'm pretty set for now and anything else I need in the future I will go to a consignments store.

lizzybean · January 2012

Motherhood Maternity $120

Gap $100 (but had an $80 old gift card!)

This has resulted in 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of black slacks, 3 dresses, and 5 tops.

I live in Florida, and almost all of my pre-baby tanks and tshirts still fit, and probably will for a while because they are stretchy and fairly long.

I have a $100 gift card waiting to be used in Canada when I go for a visit in March. I'm thinking I won't need to spend any more! All I'm missing are capris and maybe a couple skirts for when things REALLY start to heat up around here.

danies08 · January 2012

Just over $200 or so? I got two pairs of jeans and one pair of leggings from the Gap, then this weekend I got a pair of yoga-like dress pants and three shirts from Gordmans (they carry Motherhood, I had no idea!). I am wearing the pants today, and am not quite sure if I ever want to take them off...they are just as comfy as pajama pants!

lauren1204 · January 2012

Nothing. My mom bought me some stuff, but I'm still not showing much and can still fit in my regular clothes.

sam19 · January 2012

$0. I had a couple items leftover from my first pregnancy. Not much but enough until I got more. Then I had a friend give me a ton. They are all XL and I fit into M/L so it's really huge on me but they work. My mom also bought me a couple things for Christmas. I'll probably end up buying a couple spring/summer things when it gets closer but I'm not going to by a lot and I'll probably try to get them second hand.

marleysimon · January 2012

Okay, sounds like I need to wise up in my spending. Some of you are doing so well!

daisysle · January 2012

Not much. I've been cheap and still wearing my pre-pregnancy pants and tops. I do need a few things though.

Target: maybe $30-ish, all tops found on clearance!

Gap: 2 pairs of fold over yoga pants $50

I did buy 3 pairs of pants from Motherhood Maternity for $60, but sent them back. They were horrid!! My mom has also bought me a couple tops too.

Josie22 · January 2012

$30. I got 4 pairs of pants, a skirt and a shirt from Goodwill. Then my MIL has spoiled me and gotten me some more pants, shirts, a skirt, and 2 dresses. I had DS in January, so I had no summer clothes. I'll probably get some more things. I'm in love with all this cute stuff

katmacwv · January 2012

I've gotten a dress, 2 pair of jeans, a pair of black pants for work, a black pencil skirt, several tops and a dress for around $300-$400 (Gap and Motherhood), but I also paid $48 to have the jeans and black pants hemmed. I found another pair of black pants and pencil skirt in my maternity clothes from my first pregnancy. I already have a number of warmer weather maternity items from my first pregnancy, so I shouldn't have to buy much more.

Daisy22 · January 2012

Around $400 or so. None my maternity clothes from my previous 2 pgs fit b/c I lost quite a bit of weight after DS2 by running. I hate to spend money on it but I refuse to be uncomfortable and I don't want to look like I'm wearing a bag which is what my old maternity clothes looked like. I'll buy some more when spring hits. Then I plan to cosign all of it once I get done.

mylittlesunshine · January 2012

So far I have spent nothing on mat clothes this pregnancy. I can still fit into most of the mat clothes I wore with DD. When I bought clothes during my pregnancy with DD, I probably spent around $100 total. I bought a few new items, but since I needed mat clothes during the summer/fall months, I found most of my clothes at garage sales.

monef · January 2012

I've spent about $100. For that I go a pair of jeans and a pair of black trousers for work. I have a lot of tops and dresses that still fit so I haven't needed to make more maternity purchases yet. If I can make it through the wnter, then I should be able to find regular dresses to go the distance. Depends on how big I get!

lilredj · January 2012

zero!

I still fit in all my pre preg clothes that I haven't had to buy anything. holding off as long as possible.

JessieCupcake · January 2012

$50 on jeans but I used a gift card so really $0.

My mom & grandma have been generous enough to buy me a bunch of clothes.

Karrotelle · January 2012

I've spent about $150. That got me 2 pairs of jeans and one cashmere sweater. Not much at all!

georgi611 · January 2012

About $300 at Old Navy and Target.

I'm pretty much set for now. I will need just a couple things once the weather starts to get warmer, and some bras, but that will be it!

sammyk12 · January 2012

Probably about $200 so far. Invested in $70 jeans from GAP and I LOOVEE them--wish i could justify the price to get a few more. The reason I got them from there is because they sell "short" so I dont have to take them to the tailor. I also got a bunch of stuff the day after Christmas at GAP, all for about $30. It was amazing. Then I've purchased 2 other sweaters from Target, and a few shirts this weekend. I work in a pretty relaxed office, but I still need to wear regular clothes so its been hard having pants to wear! Can't wait for summer and sun dresses!

jackpackage · January 2012

I've spent about $200. I bought 2 pairs of jeans, 3 tops, 2 bras, and some pjs. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get by until the weather warms up and cute spring dresses are in stores.

msbly · January 2012

So far I have purchased from Target, Motherhood & The Gap and only spent $195.I would never purchase from Pea in the Pod unless its 50% off the clearance price! Its way to expensive and I will only be wearing the pieces for a matter of months.

For $195 I bought 13 shirts 2 pair of spandex, 2 dresses and some PJs. All on super duper clearance and really cute!

khill86 · January 2012

I've spent about $500 (CAD) so far, but I work in a professional environment and absolutely could not push the clothes I was wearing pre-pregnancy. I got:

4 pairs of slacks
1 dress
4 blouses
2 pairs of jeans
1 sweater
1 t-shirt

It didn't go very far, but I have to buy petite lengths so I can't really shop a lot of the sales, or I didn't find anything in the sales. I've got a couple of long sweaters from pre-pregnancy that I can still wear. And I have lots of open sweaters that I can pair with the blouses I bought. All of the blouses are short sleeve so I can wear with a sweater through winter and on their own once it warms up.

I'll probably buy a few more blouses, t-shirts, and dresses. I didn't put much into casual clothes because I can really only wear them on weekends. However, I am planning on spending at least a week or two at the cottage about a month before I'm due so I'll need to get some casual things I can wear then.

I really wanted to get proper maternity clothes because I wanted to feel good about my bump. Everything I bought highlights my bump and makes me feel good about it.

brangela2009 · January 2012

I've spent about $200-300 so far and don't plan to buy much more...I hope. I've bought most things from Kohl's and Old Navy.

cchill01 · January 2012

I got a lot of maternity clothes for Christmas. I think I've only spent about $100 myself...for new jeans, because I'm a little smaller than I was with DD.

GeekFantasy · January 2012

Maybe $40ish on 3 bigger bras. Does that count? As far as actual clothes, $0. Got a bunch for Christmas from my mom and I work with all women, so I inherited the community tub of maternity clothes.

Oh wait I take that back. Destination Maternity was having a sale so I spent about $15 on a shirt and a dress.

InLove621 · January 2012

I've spent $17 at Target on a Belly Band. All my pants still fit, I just can't close them... at all or zipper them. ::insert red face:: LOL

My pre-pregnancy pants are getting tight in the hip and butt area - so I'm thinking that soon I will have to spend some money on pants. Poop.
