How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
So far I have spent about $600. I spent $150 at Mimi the other day on sale sweaters for my 3rd trimester, 300 bucks on 2 pairs of 7 jeans (SO WORTH IT!!!,) 50 on a pair of jeans from the Gap and about 100 bucks on a maternity dress (for a wedding) and top from Nordstrom. It's really not a lot of stuff for the money. Any tips on how you cut the cost of your maternity clothes?

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
about 200 so far, and I got nothing I can wear to work grrr...
I have to wear suits to work quite often, so I don't know how i am going to do that, and I kind of don't want to spend $ on maternity suits. I might just stick to a lot of dresses, people will just have to deal

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
a lot...let's just say I must feel good about myself, therefore I must wear clothes that I like, therefore my husband has to work harder to bring in bigger commissions...

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
I spent less than 400 probably closer to 300. i only bought on sale, from old navy, gap, sears, and motherhood. I aslo didn't buy much figuring, when will I wear this stuff again. example, I only bought one pair of jeans and focused on buying clothes for work

I agree about the feeling good about yourself thing. I borrowed a pair of "Mom" maternity jeans from a co-worker thinking "who cares??" and felt like a frump all day. I went out and bought the sevens the next day.

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
So far, $20. My Mom and MIL bought me soooo much clothes!!! I seriously could wear a different outfit everyday this month. I am so grateful to the both of them. I should also add that I just celebrated a birthday,which explains why I received so much clothes!

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
Probably around $300. I am trying to find whatever I can on sale. It kills me to be spending a lot of money on stuff I can only wear for a few months. My mom bought me some stuff which was great.

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
Probably $400-500. I bought a bunch of stuff a size up or the same size but empire waisted. Of course, I end up wearing the same comfy things most days!!

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
probably $500 or $600. I have 3 pairs of secret fit belly capris, 3 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of long pants, a ton of motherhood tees and tanks, several sweaters / hoodies, several casual skirts, and a couple dressy skirts and blouses and a dress.
a lot of the stuff I bought at huge discounts (jeans, sweaters, blouses for under $10 each  ) I should add that all of my stuff comes from 4 places:
motherhood (jeans, capris, tees, tops)
target (tees, a few dressy skirts)
H&M (sweaters, jeans)
old navy ($13 clearance shower dress  soooo pretty!)

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
About $500 so far and I am sure as the cooler weather approaches, I will be spending more. Since I am plus sized to begin with, I have less options on getting clearance items than other mommies to be.

H&M has maternity clothes?
heck ya! not at every store, though. smithhaven has it. it's not a huge dept, but it's definitely a go-to area when I'm near the mall.
if you go on H&M's website, you can check for store availability of certain lines, including their 'mama' line 
becuase I'm tall, I love H&M. their pants run long, so they fit me perfectly... Also their clothes are a bit more stylish than most...
oh I also forgot to mention my more $$ clothes resource... I have several pairs of pants / blouses from ann taylor online

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
Total for this pregnancy maybe $300. I hate spending money on stuff I won't wear for very long, so I bought a bunch of Motherhood's ribbed tanks, and one pair of jeans, one pair of capris, one pair of dress pants, and one pair of yoga pants. I had a party to go to and bought one semi fancy top, but thats it.

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
Not sure how much but I have spent quite of money. I love clothes and must feel good about myself. I also bought several dresses that are not maternity and was able to fit. I do plan to resale them on ebay.

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
Probably about $200-300. I'm lucky that I'm not working right now in an office setting so I can get away with basics for the summer - tees, tanks, jean capris, black capris. If I was still working in Manhattan it would be a whole lot more.

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
I spent between $500 and $600, but around half of that was spent on suits. It annoys me that I have to spend a lot on suits that I won't wear for more than a few months, but I needed them. My mom also bought me a ton of clothes as a very generous birthday present. I bought both summer and fall/winter clothes so I'm pretty much all set. Except for the suits, everything was either on sale or very reasonably priced.

Re: How much have you spent on maternity clothing?
Maybe $150 - 200 with this pregnancy. I had to get more casual clothes since I am not working with this pregnancy. When I was pregnant with DS, I worked so I needed all professional clothes. I borrowed a lot of clothes from friends so I had all the basics but a girl still needs a little new clothing once in a while, right?  I also bought a few things at Ann Taylor loft maternity with gift cards so that shouldn't count
