I hace to say a belly band is a must especially if you are a bit tight with $$, you can still wear your normal clothes with it and they're cheap. Win, win! But I have to say, if you are going to spend $$ i would definitely be investing in a few comfy bras without wire.
dress it up or dress it down with cute loafers or boots*
if the weather is getting cooler where you are, nice shaws and nice big comfy sweaters and scarves will take you a long way! fall is my favorite season to be pregnant in. you can still wear them with yogapants and simple tees/tanks. dress out up with low heels or down with cute loafers out boots. :-)
Thanks for all the advice ladies. I appreciate it!
Thrift stores are really helpful. If that's not an option, dresses work very well. As do peasant and maxi shirts (the stretchy waist ones: as your belly grows the waist can just go higher up. Mine is under my bra)
If you tell people you are pregnant you will be amazed how willing they are to give you their clothes. I've gotten several free things from people who were pregnant over the past year. Goodwill and thrift shops help. I also tried lots of clearance racks at stores like kohls or belks or other department stores. Found big stretchy clothes for like $5 a piece. Belly bands are great to keep wearing your button up pants.
I work at a preschool so I was fortunate to have mom's give me there old clothes. I would ask around, you some one might no some one etc.
I've found really great deals at rummage sales and Goodwill. As for bras.... perhaps a sports bra will work??
You could always do some sleek looking yoga pants, a tight top and a button-up girly-colored flannel. I do that a lot. I don't have the money to go get all the cute maternity clothes either so I try to dress up the athletic pants I have with stuff like that. It's either that or I wear my husband's sweatpants lol
In tight on money too and haven't been able to buy anything. I did a belly band so I could continue to wear my jeans. It's been wonderful and I bought it for $18 and free shipping. Hopefully I can get a few bras next!
