And what are some inexpensive alternatives?
I’m 5′6, 115lbs.
i’m 21 weeks and i’ve spent about 300-400 dollars so far, and that was buying mix and match peices and being frugal!
i went to motherhood (store name) and found some great buys. also, i bought a bunch of these great mossimo t-shirts from Target in XL. they are great b/c they’re in different colors and they are stretchy so i”m not wearing a tent, but there’s room to grow some more, and they are longer than most t-shirts, so my tummy doesn’t stick out the bottom.
also, check out old navy. they have GREAT maternity clothes and aren’t too expensive. plus, alot of it is the same stuff in regualr clothes, jsut maternity!
congrats!
EDIT:
also, to help you out, since i didn’t know this stuff:
most pants have adjusters in the waistband, so you can make them tighter now and then loosen then when you get really big.
also, buy shirts and pants about the same size you are now in regular clothes or one size up if they don’t seem to have enough room to grow into. i usually wear a M-L and i bought mostly L-XL depending on the fit. my sister was there to keep reminding me that i will get ALOT bigger, so needed to get stuff that was a little bigger than what i was trying on:) she was right, too;)
