Waah...Just pulled maternity clothes out of storage

la79al · September 2014

Just to know where I stand, I pulled my maternity clothes out of the attic. Yeah, that 20 pounds I've gained since I was pregnant with DD1=no long pants fit now, let alone when I actually need them

I'm holding out more hope for my capris and tank tops...I can wear those in PA in February, right?!?!

Its on my list of things to do this weekend too! I've already had to "extend" my pants with a hair tie by the end of the day... And I'm not even 6 wks yet! (3 kids in 4 years will do that to your tummy I guess.)

I'm worried that they may not fit too - I'm 40 lbs lighter than when I got pregnant with my first two.

Sigh. Tomorrow I will try to get away with yoga pants at work!

Lol, I think my maternity cloths are still in a container under the bed, DS is 14 months.

benmel31 · September 2014

Well, I am all about layering, so the tanks may work, even here in PA! You know we are predicted to get a LOT of snow!

Sorry about your clothes not fitting!

I bought a new pair of pants last night, and today I had to break out the Bella band because they wouldn't button.

I am ready to start showing, mostly to justify my fat gut.

This.

Mine are all summer clothes so I will unfortunately need to buy and/or borrow winter clothes.

I'm pregnant the same exact timeline as DS (due date is 2 days earlier this time) and I'm excited to wear my maternity clothes again. I bought some really cute stuff (check out Asos.com) that I'm glad will be getting another wear.

Being pregnant sept-may IMO is the best. You aren't huge in the winter or the summer so I find dressing the bump is pretty easy.

Washing and inventorying my maternity clothes is on my to do list for this weekend. I've been wearing skirts and dresses since school started but had to wear dress pants today and they totally didn't button by the end of the day.

maybebride · September 2014

I had just found the box with mine (we moved into our new house a month before BFP) when we found out I was pregnant. I had planned to stash the box at the bottom of my closet just in case, but ended up pulling everything out.

I've been wearing my maternity capris regularly because my regular pants were already iffy, so with bloat, they are not a lot of fun. I could just use the bella band, which I will do more when I am going someplace nicer than the grocery store.

DS was a late fall baby (Nov.), so most of my clothes won't work all of this pregnancy, even in Texas. Thankfully, I work from home, so I won't need as big a variety as I did last time.

@annerz22‌ I didn't even know asos sold maternity clothes! Coolest maternity clothes ever!! Thank you for sharing!!!

heathersf11 · September 2014

All of my clothes still fit, but today my jeans were feeling tight on my abdomen which felt bad when coupled with my morning sickness. I ended up changing pants before leaving for work. I may need a Bella Band soon just to make my pants comfortable enough to wear without upsetting my tummy.

I'm a FTM so no maternity clothes here...but luckily scrubs are forgiving for at least the first few months

I hear you on the scrubs. I just plan on living in mine, at work and at home for the first few months. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to get maternity scrubs at some point or if I'll be able to fit in mine throughout. I'm getting to the point with bloat that wearing my jeans is uncomfortable at the end of the day ... so I've pulled out the yoga pants as well. My last child was 5 years ago and I don't have much maternity stuff left, so I guess some shopping is in order!

teachnva · September 2014

My clothes are already uncomfortable! I'm small normally (0-2) and with this bloat even the few 4s are getting tight! I showed early with my first so it'll be interesting to see this time.

beachhippiemama · September 2014

My best friend is visiting me in 2 weeks and is bringing all of mine back to me. I sent all of my maternity stuff to her when she was pregnant last year, now I get to use it again! At least they are getting lots of wear!

welly01 · September 2014

Yeah, I've just given up and switched to all maternity pants. No reason to be uncomfortable when you don't have to. I need to buy some more tops though. I feel like its so obvious I'm wearing maternity pants.

danigirl7181 · September 2014

@ramy3695‌ I looked at a pair of maternity jeans at target yesterday, but deicided to wait a bit. I need more pants.
@Jasonandsara2013‌ @jennadesigns‌ my scrubs pants fit for my whole pregnancy, I just wore my scrub jackets open with plain top.

rivieramaya · September 2014

I got my maternity stash back from a friend last week. Two of my girlfriends and I have all shared our maternity clothes over the years. This is the sixth pregnancy between us all so we have a nice little collection going. I don't think I will need the tops for some time but I am already wearing the jeans.

All of this! I just bought new scrubs too! Oh and bought a belly band yesterday bc I had a coupon. Definitely pulled it out last night.

@Sterling13‌ try target. I found an adorable dress yesterday for $7!

I'm hoping to hold out a little longer. My sil has all of my maternity clothes other than a few pair of pants bc she's much taller than me. She is due the beginning of November.

ktzen3 · September 2014

I gave away most of my maternity clothes! Pulled out what I do have left and have no pants at all. So I have already ordered some jeans and jeggings. This belly is not going to last in my regular pants much longer!

ashmichelle208 · September 2014

I had to open my storage bin of maternity stuff as well! I'm only 5 weeks but my bloat is out of this world! I had my son 7 short months ago so I can imagine that I will be showing sooner then ever before. This is my 3rd pregnancy and 4th baby! (I had twins my first preg) no shame here!!! I'm all for being comfortable!
