It was great to have when i was starting to schow and my pre pregnancy pants didn't quite fit and my t-shirts didn't quite cover up.. and then through out pregnancy I wore them quite a bit... I bought a classic black, a White and a Black and white print... They are also great for post partum too to cover up when breat feeding..... http://www.motherhoodcanada.ca/maternity/belly-bands.asp hope this helps My fav Maternity clothing was the belly Band… It was great to have when i was starting to schow and my pre pregnancy pants didn’t quite fit and my t-shirts didn’t quite cover up.. and then through out pregnancy I wore them quite a bit… I bought a classic black, a White and a Black and white print… They are also great for post partum too to cover up when breat feeding…..

Using what others give you and saving the difference is a great strategy. For me maternity underthings were the most important, I needed to be comfy, so I allocated budget funds for that.

I also had 1 nice outfit for dressing up. My motto was that if I was sick of my clothes by the time I had the baby, I would work all that much harder to get back into my regular clothes after I had him!

I love those dresses! I've had 4 people give me maternity clothes, but I was smaller to begin with than any of them, so I haven't been able to get much use out of them yet. I'm hoping that I can wear some of those clothes during the last few weeks of pregnancy. I have very narrow shoulders, so most maternity clothes (even small sizes) don't fit me properly. What I've done instead, is just buy a size larger than normal of regular clothes. That's worked really well for me so far. I bought a denim skirt at Motherhood back when I was about 4 months pregnant, and it's my go-to skirt. Love it, and wear it all the time! I felt like I spent a fortune on it, but it's been worth it. It's the only thing I've gotten at Motherhood though. Do ya'll have Ross where you live? They have really cheap but cute maternity shirts. I've gotten several there. Oh, another thing you might want to look into is a belly band. They sell them at Target in the maternity clothes section. It's a spandex-y type of band that you can wear over regular pants or skirts that don't button/zip anymore. It's really helpful! It's kind of wide, so I just folded it in half before my belly got as big as it is now. It allows me to still wear regular skirts at 8 months preggo. Ok, sorry this is such a long comment! I was trying to think of all the ideas I could :) Have a great day! Wow, that’s awesome!!! I love those dresses!
