Pregnancy Clothes

I have a box and a bag of maternity clothes sitting in my garage. They are free to a good home. I live in Crown Point if you would like them. You could come get them or I could meet you somewhere if you are interested. My email is ____@____.com if you want more info.

Hi S.,

What size are you? I actually have a tub of maternity clothes that I won't be using :( as I am just getting too old to have any more babies!

Let me know if you are interested, we could strike a deal. There are winter and summer items as I got pregnant in October and my son was born in July.

Not sure where you live but you might get FREE hand-me-downs from a local freecycle.org group.

It's a network that recycles used items from clothes to computers. It's been a great resource for me.

I asked friends who had children if they had clothes that I can borrow and it helped me alot. I borrowed the basic and wasn't shy to wear their clothes. All my maternity clothes I did buy was on sale at Target from their Liz Lange collection. They always have stuff on sale. I brought my jeans at Old Navy from their maternity collection but online but good prices. Good Luck and congrats.

Hi Stacy,
I had good luck at Old Navy in Orland Park. They have a very small Maternity section, but if your there at the right time they have good clearance prices. I got jeans ($7), two pairs of khakis ($7 each) and some cute sun dresses that were also marked down to $7. I even got a few long sleeve shirts as low as 2.99. Hope that helps!

There is a second hand maternity store (or used to be anyway) in Batavia, IL. called, Twice is Nice. They have maternity clothes as well as children's clothing, decor and a few nursury basics. I had very good luck there a while back. Their number is ###-###-#### and they're located at 4 E Wilson St, Batavia. There is also a Motherhood Maternity outlet at the outlet mall in Batavia so make a day of it and enjoy!

I had good luck with FreeCycle, thrift stores, and even eBay. Sellers often sell clothes in lots. Just make sure they have good feedback (I would say 95% or better and read their negatives if they are very recent.)

Congrats!

I hit garage sales like crazy. Also resale shops, but they can be kind of pricey sometimes. I went to an outlet mall and hit Motherhood Maternity.
Check on Freecycle, Craigslist, and ebay. Can get good deals there too. I just got a huge box from someone who was giving stuff away on Freecycle. I'll admit, some of it is not the most stylish or might be too big...but when it's a day that I know I'm going to be at home all day and not be out where people might see me...who cares? As long as you are comfortable.
Another place I just hit was the Salvation Army. Or Goodwill. I got 5 shirts for $5.11!!
Hang in there!

Hi there!
I too am getting rid of a lot of maternity clothes. I have 2 totes full of M-XL summer and winter. I am having a baby in April so if you'd like to talk, please email me and we can surely work something out.

I got great deals on clothes at motherhood and old navy.

Target has the Liz Lange collection, I've gotten some nice stuff there

You might try the Once Upon a Child stores in Orland or Joliet. Both have a small prego section. Also great for used kids stuff in great shape in case your older stuff is used up.

I went to target or walmart, but I also just bought regular clothes in a bigger size.

I liked JC Penney. I ordered most of my stuff online.

Congrats!

Hi Stacy,

Try Sears & Carson. Also, if you go to Mimi Maternity, Motherhood is in the back of the store and always has wonderful sales. I think Wal-mart has a very small section.

I got all of mine from Motherhood Maternity, they are pretty cheap for the basics when you get them on sale. You can also try Gordman's they have a great maternity section that is reasonable.

I got a lot of stuff off ebay, but that is only really cost-effective if you can buy several items from the same seller and combine shipping costs. Also check The Second Child on Armitage - they have consignment stuff - I was able to find a few items there that were nice. Most of my "stash" is shared between me and my sister, though. Do you have a friend or sister that is close to the same size as you?

Hi you might want to check this website www.ebay.com they have all kinds of maternity clothes and very cheap too.

I would try and buy items to make your existing clothes go farther - ex. button stretcher, etc. Or, maybe try buying some clothes in regular stores and then once you are done, bring them to a resale shop/sell your self. I'd check craigslist, ebay, freecycle. Good luck and congrats!

Hi Stacy,

I sold mine on eBay, so that might be a good place to start.

Good luck!
