Maternity Clothes

Everyone told me that "maternity clothes are so much cuter than when I was pregnant." That might be true, but who wants to buy them? I held off on buying maternity clothes for way too long. I went to visit a girlfriend in Sacramento when I was six months pregnant and I was wearing big sweaters that I had in my closet. She, a mother of two, convinced me to go maternity clothes shopping. Once I gave in and bought the pants with panels and tops with the side rouging, I finally got it. Don't hide the pregnancy...embrace it! You will look like a cute pregnant girl rather than a frumpy overweight girl. Plus you won't believe how much more comfortable you are. I will definitely wear the maternity clothes much sooner on my next one. I bought most of my clothes at Target or Kohls because it was cheap, but also got some things from Motherhood. A couple of girlfriends passed their maternity wear on to me and that helped a ton. Here is what I suggest - borrow what you can, find a good pair of jeans (you'll wear the heck out of them), and when you have to buy bigger bras - get nursing ones so that you can use them once the baby is born!
