@BudgetBabe - I tried the belly bend, but I think I bought it in too large of a size. I couldn't seem to keep it in place, maybe I'm just not big enough yet?

@anonymous - The consignment store is a great idea. I just didn't want to deal with the hassle of buying and then trying to take back. I was hoping to buy things that don't need to be sold once I finish wearing them. Of course that might change once I get bigger.

@anonymous - My husband's clothes would be way to big on me. Good idea though.

@ND Chic - I definitely don't want to feel like a blob, which is why I think I'm carrying about a girl. I seem to care more about how I look now then ever before. Of course, I also think the pregnant body is beautiful, so that might be one of the reasons I want to show off my curves :-)

The store that I mostly shopped at when I was pregnant was Motherhood Maternity. I found that it was the only store with inexpensive items that were dressy enough for work. I didn't buy much, only 3 pairs of pants and a few tops. I wore my husband's clothes when I wasn't at work. I felt like a huge blob. Looking back, I wish that I would've spent a little bit more money and felt better about myself.

When I was pregnant I bought a few things from a consignment store. They were a great price and really well made. Once I had the baby and was back in my regular clothes I took the stuff back to the consignment store to sell.

I had the same experience when I was pregnant and wrote about my struggles. Something I loved was the Belly Band (or Target's version, the Be Band). It's a stretchy band you can wear over your regular pants when they get too tight to button over your growing belly. That gave my pants an extra month or two.

Something else I did to save money was get some maternity tanks and tshirts. I layered them with my regular cardigans all 9 months.

As far as stores go, Target and Old Navy had some great items for really cheap prices. And since these aren't clothes you're going to wear for a long time, it won't matter as much how long they hold up.

This is very helpful. Many pregnant women think that these maternity clothes are very expensive.
