I fell into that trap a little bit, counting the days until I could actually shop for maternity clothes...until I saw the price tags. With a very frugal husband (which he knows deep down I am very thankful for) and a couple of friends sharing clothes with me, I have only had to buy a few items so far (most of which have come from second hand maternity stores) - so our budget is still in tact.
What most pregnant people don't realize is that a lot of times you can wear your "regular" clothes well into your nine month escapade. For instance, it isn't necessary to buy maternity cardigans (unless you wear them buttoned, which I don't) and a lot of high-waisted or wrap dresses will fit you for the whole duration, as well as knit tops . Don't be afraid to play around in your closet and save a few bucks in the process - babies are expensive enough!
Can you tell what pieces are maternity or not?
