Those hopefully planning to be pregnant next summer...

This may be a silly question...
are you going to buy summer maternity clothes that are on sale now since the summer is over; if you plan on being preg next summer? (Call me a bargain shopper)
Or are you too superstitious?

i would normally say BUY away - however, there is no way on earth you know when you'll be pregnant...what if it takes you longer and you bought all that stuff for nothing...

NO.

We've actually come full circle already - started trying in September 07 and now it is September 08.

I had no idea how long this journey would be for me - and still have no idea how much longer it will last.

I would not want those things hanging over my head as constant reminders of what I don't have.

Sorry for how sad that just sounded, but it's just how I feel about all of thisChat Icon

I'd hold off. You don't know how you'll be carrying or what you'll feel like wearing.

It's tempting, but wait.Chat Icon

I didn't buy maternity clothes until I needed them. You have no idea whether you'll be pregnant, how far along you'll be or how big you'll be.

Maternity clothes go on sale fairly often. In late June/early July, I was able to buy quite a few long sleeve shirts and sweaters on sale, which will get me through the fall.

I would not buy Maternity clothes for next summer now. And usuallu I am the one to do things like that (I am the girl that shopped for her Honeymoon Clothes for 2 summers prior!!!) Chat Icon
But something like being preggo is different. But that is JMO!!! Its not right or wrong, i am just a little superstitious with that (esp. that!!)

I didn't even buy maternity clothes when I was pregnant (before my m/c). I'm so glad I don't have any now to remind me!

Re: Those hopefully planning to be pregnant next summer...

So funny...I was just looking at cute maternity pants at Target but then thought that would put a hex on my whole plan. So I am going to wait.....
