Would you let a friend...
.... borrow your maternity clothes?
This may sound incredibly silly but I figured if anyone would understand it would be you guys...
A close friend of mine is about 8 weeks pregnant. She asked if she could borrow my maternity clothes and I immediately said yes. The more I think about it...I'm not sure. Some of the clothes I never even got to wear. Seeing her in them, huge and pregnant, might sting a little. I see MFM on July 26th to talk about risks of future pregnancy and if they think I should. I feel like if they tell me my odds are too high and that I shouldn't get pregnant again, that would hurt even more to see her wear them. What do you ladies think? Am I being irrational? Obviously, I still have some PTSD issues from all of this even if it has been over a year. I'm still so bitter about missing out on the third trimester and not getting to bring my baby home with me. It's not that I'm not happy for her, I am...I just don't know if I can handle seeing her in the maternity clothes that were meant for my pregnancy and huge belly that I never got. 
Re: Would you let a friend...
Our precious girl, born at 27 weeks.
I don't see her on a daily basis but I do see her regularly on weekends. Not to mention, pictures and such on facebook. I know myself and I think it would kill me but I don't want to be irrational and let good maternity clothes just sit in a box because I can't get over it, ya know? I guess everyone feels different ways about it. I think I will see what MFM says in July and go from there. Heck, I had to buy my own maternity clothes...she can too.
My MARRIED Bio
I donated mine to a very unfortunate patient of mine. She was homeless, pregnant, deaf, brittle diabetic, and in the hospital from about 18 weeks until delivery. While she was there, she was evicted from her apartment, her identity got stolen along with the last $52 in her bank account. All she had to wear were hospital gowns. I felt bad. I'd had DS 6-8 months before she was admitted and I didn't think I'd be having anymore kiddos after all that drama, so I brought her all my stuff-- except work clothes, since she didn't need them. She cried. We hugged. It was nice. I never had to see her as I went to a different rotation, but when I did see her, I felt good about what I'd done.
This time around I don't fit into those maternity clothes. Too fat when I got my BFP, so I couldn't use the ones from DS anyway. Had to buy all new. I did get further along in my pregnancy than many of you (36 weeks), but I'm now facing the same issues this time around. Already on and off bedrest since 12 weeks. Got put back on it last week. I may never get to wear my work clothes again! So who knows what will happen. As this will be the last baby no matter what, I'll probably donate them all to goodwill. My thought is they're just clothes. Your memories shouldn't depend on them.
