Venting- clothing

[Deleted]

Ugh! It's finally happened....last pair of normal shorts don't fit and the maternity shorts I ordered online fit terrible. Damn hormones have me crying over it too. No clue why since I knew eventually they would stop fitting. I think it was being gone for a week and not wearing them I see a bigger change in my stomach. Also realized that my SIL shrunk some of the summer maternity shirts I'd let her borrow. Don't even fit me right now....and it was the same shirt I wore to the hospital with LO1. Fuck- really didn't want to have to buy more maternity clothes but I guess I will have to now.

I'm sorry your having a rough day . I've cried over not having clothes or shoes that fit.

I hope you can go out today and find some things that fit and make you look and feel great! It sucks to have to spend the money for things you'll only wear for a few months, but you'll feel so much better.

Do you have a motherhood store near you? I got an email today with a $10 off $10 purchase. I'd be happy to send it to you if it would help you. It can't make your clothes fit again. But I hope you can find some good things.

((Hugs))

ETA it's only good today

Hugs. This in between blump stage is hard. I hope you can find some good things when you go shopping. Ross has a decent maternity section as well for reasonable prices.

Thanks ladies! I knew you all would understand a hormonal meltdown...

I'm gonna check online tomorrow and grab a few tops. I think getting a few new items will help.

@winegirl9, zulily had a lot of maternity stuff today that was pretty reasonably priced, if not downright cheap. I know shipping can take awhile, but it might be worth a look.

@jacks605 - huge {{hugs}} The blump stage sucks. It just does. Target may also have some summer maternity on sale that'll get you through the next two hot months (because September never really feels like fall to me).

And sorry SIL shrunk your stuff! Lame!

Sorry to hear that. I think we're all at a tricky pregnancy stage where maternity clothes don't seem 100% necessary, but regular clothes don't fit.

You'll get through this. My advice is to shop big department store sales. I got reasonable deals on maternity clothes at Macy's, actually. I'd recommend looking there.

Blump stage sucks.

I'm getting through the summer on elastic waist (non-maternity, but maternity friendly) shorts. I've found a whole bunch at jcrew and jcrew outlet. link

I don't feel bad about spending the $20-30 per pair because I know they'll fit me after my pregnancy too.

Just a thought!

I have a hard time spending $$ on clothing that I know won't fit me throughout my pregnancy. So it looks like I'll be doing laundry more often...

I've been getting by on yoga pants/capris and stretchy jeans. Really don't want to cave for maternity clothes til fall.
