Been holding off for too long 🤷🏼‍♀️ What would you do?

Question

I decided early on in my pregnancy not to buy many maternity clothes. Literally as little as possible. I just wanted to save that money and use it on a new wardrobe after I have my baby instead! 
The only maternity items I have are 2 pairs of leggings, one pair of jeans that I hate, 2 tank tops and 2 long sleeve shirts. That’s literally it!  
Now I’m 25 weeks, my stomach is large and in charge, and I’m down to about 4 shirts total out of my whole closet that don’t make me look ridiculous 😂 I look like one of those toddlers with a popped out belly in their too small 2T shirts 😂

Especially now that I only have 14 weeks left of pregnancy (possibly less), I SUPER don’t want to spend the money on maternity clothes. So the real question is.... CAN I MAKE IT 3 MORE MONTHS LOOKING RIDICULOUS or should I cave and just get some clothes?

Answer

I always buy ribbed tank tops at Walmart for like $2 because they are long and stretchy as heck. Leggings and a tank top can be dressed up with jewelry and a cardigan if you want or just fine for lounging around. You can wear them after you have baby and get spit up on 500 times a day. I sleep in them, wear them out, live in them.

Answer

STM and only two pairs of jeans and three shirts over here.  That said, you will likely gain the most amount of weight over these next three months so stuff that's almost not fitting now may be out the window pretty soon.  And even if it isn't, you don't want to stretch out your prepregnancy clothes too much.  Maybe just buy another pair of pants and a shirt or two and do extra laundry?  You may find long sleeve stuff on clearance as we approach the warmer months.

Answer

Go to Ross or a second hand place for some cheapies

Answer

Honestly I bought some nice maternity clothes from a second hand store near me. I don't see the point in spending a ton of money on clothes I can only fit for a short time. As for shirts I have a couple maternity but wear a lot of my regular shirts too.

Answer

I got a 3 pack of shirts through Amazon for like 20 bucks. I teach so my tummy hanging out is not an option

Answer

I wear my husbands tshirts. 
I have 1 pair of maternity jeans and 2 maternity t shirts

Answer

I’d say look at store like Old Navy online to see what they have on sale for a few things or thrift stores. I’ve gotten quite a few items from 2nd hand stores

Answer

I’m still wearing all my non maternity clothes (except jeans, too uncomfortable).  People tell me I don’t look pregnant.  I’m 23.3 weeks.

Answer

I have about the same amount of maternity clothes too! I’m 26 weeks almost , and I’m literally wearing the same things all the time and doing laundry every 2 days. But it’s been working out for me 😁😁

Answer

I’ve gotten a few items super cheap from Target/Old Navy/Gap. Luckily, I can still into a bunch of my regular clothes. I have a few maternity from my first pregnancy, but I’m expecting twins so I’m expecting to be much larger this time 🙈
