Anyone have any Maternity Clothes (M-L) that they don't need anymore? I can NOT make myself pay those crazy prices for new ones, and I can't find any at the second hand stores. My SIL gave me some, but just a few shirts and a pair of jeans. I can't squeeze myself in ANY of my pre-pregnancy clothes anymore, and I have a LONG way to go!

Anyone that has any that they would like to get off their hands, let me know please!!

Shoot! I just gave away all of mine two weeks ago!! Do you have any consignment stores in your area? That is where I usually have good luck!

Well I still kinda need mine for a little bit (and need to save some JUST in case) but what do sort of things so you need? Jeans? T shirts? Sweaters? I have mostly warm weather stuff.

Look up the store "Other Mothers". They are great! Also check the clearance racks for bigger sizes. I have several sundresses in a 1x that I can wear NOW (8th month) and with just a tuck in the waist, will wear next year too.

The only stores that are reasonable here are the Good Will, the Thrift Store, Salvation Army. I checked all of them in my town and the one next to us, and the only things I seen were smalls, and that wont work. I can't even get the jeans buttoned that were emergency period pants Laughing

. And I think I am having sextuplets cause my stomach is already HUGEEEEE. A woman at church asked me today if I was due soon Shocked

Yeah, if FEBRUARY is SOON! Shocked

Anything that isn't being used I can make work.

I JUST remembered seeing something that might help you while registering in Babies R Us last week. They have belt buckle things that let you use your regular jeans throughout pregnancy (I'd never be able to because I'm HUGE right now, but that's me)

mediums.... but they are size 8 / 10 and fit me at 165. I thought your wedding dress was larger than that.

I can send you all the 8 / 10 cause I lost my last maternity weight from Jordan (except my butt!) so I need the next size larger....

but pm me your new address and I can send you some stuff I was going to take to birthright......

Do you have a birthright near you or a maternity help place.

(When I was pregnant with Adrian I got clothes from there since I was too busy paying docotrs bills to afford maternity clothes!)

They were free!

Hi Elisha,

I have some clothes (XL) and size 16/18. I have 3 prs. of shorts, 2 prs of pants, a tank top I never wore which you can layer under a blouse or top, plus some short sleeve tops, a sweater and a 1 or 2 quarter sleeved tops. That is approximate. If you are interested, let me know. I will send them to you free minus the shipping. let me know...and I will do a more accurate inventory.

Edited to add: just forget the shipping cost, if you are still interested, I will send them to you. I need to purge my closet of them!!

Elisha, if you shop Target, Kohl's and even Walmart's right, you can find pretty good deals on the clearance stuff even. Don't forget to pick through the clearance racks!!!

A friend of mine, her son's GF was pregnant and didn't have much money for clothes. I found jeans for like $9 at Target in the clearance and some things at Goodwill. In fact, if you shop the clearance racks they are usually cheaper then Goodwill! I find Goodwill to be expensive somtimes!

I have 2 XL long sleeved Gap tshirts you can have that I lived in! I was so hot all the time I didn't want a coat until it was in the teens. And if it was a short walk I still skipped the coat!

I also have a pretty green top that can be used at the Holidays you can have.

I was able to use Men's XL drawstring pajama pants and sweat pants to sleep in, then gave them to DH when I was done. I'm normally a size 6-8, but was over 200 pounds when I delivered Alan (with an I cup chest). For the first 2 trimesters and for months after he was born, I used non maternity drawstring clothes a size or 2 larger and they worked great.

And, believe it or not, at this time of year Motherhood maternity and Gap maternity have clearance prices just as low as Walmart - and definitely lower than Target.

PM me your address!

Try Motherhood Maternity. I order a TON of clothes from there about 2 weeks ago. I have to wear dress clothes everyday and I got pants sets for 19.99! Hope this helps Smile

Elisha, my husband and I are coming to the states in about a month and I could send some out to you. I will keep some because I absolutely will have more babies, but, I was so blessed with so many clothes I would love to bless someone else.
Just let me know okay?
