Why is it when you get pregnant that you feel you need to run out and buy new maternity clothing? With my first child I thought I had to have all the hyped maternity clothes that come with being pregnant. Then I started recieving the baby magazines that showed these women wearing beautiful maternity clothes at outrageous prices. A single maternity dress could cost you up to at least 140 dollars if not more. I began to wonder if the material was spun from gold worms. Then I began to notice that Walmart was going to carry a maternity line. GREAT!! I thought but when their maternity line came out it consisted of a meer 4 different shirt styles and some jeans. Blah the same old thing. So I went through my first pregnancy spending money on maternity clothing. After my daughter was born it hit me that I could have shopped in the plus size clothing at Walmart and been just fine. Now that Im pregnant with my second child the books and magazines are coming in again and I’ll be danged the maternity christmas dresses are beautiful but I refuse to spend over twenty dollars on anything at anytime. I try to spend as minimal as possible on anything that I do during pregnancy at anytime, and that includes the high dollar clothing that they say will make a pregnant woman look fabulous. Since becoming pregnant for the second time I have learned that I can wear my husband’s shirts and sweat pants to be more frugile. Its not pretty but it works!
