@doodleoodle I agree. Their bras, pants, and shorts are amazing and I feel like I'm wearing my regular clothes. I have a ton of flowy tanks for the summer time, so I'm hoping they last me! Thank you again.
@LinziLoo09 I read somewhere that Target's stretchy non-maternity tanks are actually the best tanks to wear because like you said, they stretch nicely and then retain their shape. I don't like how they cling to the bloat right now lol, but I will be getting more once my belly pops.
I started looking at maternity stuff already, as I have to dress business casual for work and Fall will be my 3rd trimester... and I am already freaking out on what I can wear. For spring/summer... dresses, maxi skirts, etc should get me through. But, I am trying not to spend SO much money on clothes, but will do some research on pieces that I will wear a lot - like a couple pairs of dress pants for sure.
I am going to Target after work today to pick up some items, but plan on browsing some clothes as I see they have some basic tees on sale... I could just size up. They'll be perfect to wear with skirts this summer to work. And definitely checking out those tanks!

DI, Youth Ranch, Consignment stores have wonderful deals. Especially if your area has a 'high concentration' of pregnant people. Last round I bought 3 shirts/tunics, 2 skirts, 2 slacks, and 1 pair of jeans for under $30.

Our local Clothes Mentor is definitely on my list, and this weekend... they have 20% off the entire store. So, I may do some browsing - even if it's just a pair of jeans in a size bigger to get me through the next few weeks. My normal jeans are too tight, even with the rubberband - my waist has definitely increased in size due to not working out as much as I normally do, at the intensity that I normally did. I put on the pounds/ muffin top easily.

I use schoola.com for maternity clothes. They're super cheap and you can earn credits easily. Plus 40% of what you spend goes back into local schools. I got 4 or five shirts and a pair of maternity shorts for 22 dollars. Free shipping. I have links for credits to help you get free clothes. Tons of baby/toddler clothes too.
FWIW for nursing tanks I got the 1.87 camis from Forever 21 and still wear most of them. My tatas are too big for Motherhood Maternity so I ended up just wearing the shelf bra tanks from Target most of the time. If I went out in public I had to squeeze into a different bra.
Here's my stupid question...how soon would you use an at home Doppler to listen to your baby's/babies' heartbeat(s)? We have one from a prior pregnancy but I'm afraid to dig it out the box because I know the moment I do I won't be able to resist using it and then I'll be freaking out if I can't find it.
@LushC I have tried already at 8w4d. I couldn't find it, I think I'll try again tonight at 9w5d. Last time I couldn't find until around 12-13 w but I am chubby.

My stupid question. For those of you getting cramps or sharp shooting pains ( which I assume is RLP, although it's more groin located), is it both sides or all on one side? I've been getting the sharp pains on both sides but it's only one side at a time
So my stupid/TMI question is does anyone's vagina twitch inside? I don't know how else to describe it other than a twitch or flutter.
*** stuck in the box**
@Amdogger82 I had lightning crotch for the first time last night. Shooting pain in my labia and inside somewhere for like 2-5 seconds X. It makes me curse uncontrollably when it happens. It's gone fast and only comes occasionally. Does this sound like yours?
Yea, @Kacie209 and @dmontgo - Target non-maternity tanks and t-s are a great investment. Mediums stretched for me through much of third tri, and they shrank back down so I could use them postpartum as well. I agree though that now is not the time for form-fitting. The bloat is shaming me into the loosest fitting clothing I own currently.
@LushC - I think in general they say it's really difficult to hear anything on the doppler before 9 weeks. It took us until 10 weeks to find it last time. And just be sure that you're in an emotional place that you won't freak out if you can't find it for a bit too.
@zubenescamali - Mine are only ever on one side at a time...unless it's a really big sneeze.
@DiFazette it isn't actually painful at all. Just like a twitchy eye almost. So weird. I haven't experienced lightening crotch yet! Good to know that is normal- as a FTM I have no clue!
Ugh lightning crotch is no joke! Neither is lightning boob. *shiver*
@beff12 - is lightning boob a thing? I've had very quick sharp pains as if I was being stabbed in my breasts over the past two weeks. That would make sense.

I'm assuming that lightning boob is a sharp pain involving the whole boob...but I had the worst sensitive nipples the other day, having to get supplies from the walk in fridge was NOT fun

Yes! I haven't had it yet this time, but remember it from my pregnancy with DD - I couldn't remember how soon it started. I think it also happened when I was still breastfeeding.
