So you say ;I'm pregnant and youre proud to say that you've speny $500 or so on maternity clothes, excluding underwear. Now, before you start wondering and complaining , consider these hypothetical situations:

  • No one was able to borrow you a thing - no matarnity clothes. Few of your friends have kids. . A second had borrowed and returned most of her maternity outfits; the few things that she bought she had already given to her sister. Your niece who happens to be 1 year older than you is also expecting, so she had no clothing to spare. Thus, the best source of maternity clothes ? friends and relatives who have recently had children ? was closed off.
  • Your husband is a Harley Davidson biking fanatic with nary an ounce of fat on his lycra-clad body. His clothes barely fit you before I started carrying his child. Besides, bicycle shorts and wildly-printed road jerseys don't flatter pregnant women. This second-best source of maternity clothes (the closet of the man responsible for your condition) was also closed to you.
  • You work in a professional office with constant client contact. You like your job. It pays well so you're willing to dress the part (but want to do so as inexpensively as possible). Maternity boutiques cater to women like you, but the dresses start at about $100 and the suits at $250 at such stores. No, thanks. ?
  • If you work at home, are married to a big strapping guy who hasn't been on a bicycle since grade school, and have sisters and friends who just completed their families, you can probably stop reading here. If not, the following tips may help you:
  • Check out the matahari or some of the innexpensive maternity stores in shopping malls such as centro, Kuta square or even the specialized ones like Clandys. some carry maternity clothes. Baby goods stores often have a maternity rack, so consider looking there (especially since you'll probably be spending time at such stores anyway). The matahari stores might not separate out maternity clothes from other donated items, but comb the racks if you are looking for something in particular. I got a great score on a maternity bathing suit at Clandys ? I don't think it was ever worn ? that was mixed in with the other baby wear they carried.
