How are you doing for maternity clothes? Are you growing out of them? Or are you still just fine?

For the most part I am fine but I find that some of my shirts don't quite cover all of my belly anymore.

I'm in strictly dresses. The maternity shirts I bought no longer fit and there isn't a pair of pants in the world (other than my yoga pants) that I'd even ATTEMPT to put on. I'm telling you, I've gotten HUGE! (to go along with a post from earlier... I wanna see a weightloss sticky once we've had our babies! lol)

I still have pants, shorts and capris that fit. Some of my shirts have gotten really tight and short lately though.

I'm down to 3 pairs of capris. Shirts I mostly bought super long, so they are doing good fitting...although the maternity tank top I was wearing last night didn't meet my pants...DH was making fun of me!

All PR suggestions in the suggestions thread please, scatty baby brain will mean I won't be able to cope unless they're all together! I agree about something for weightloss though - I was on a diet prior to pregnancy, I won't be going STRAIGHT back on it until I'm sure I'm done with the anaemia, but then I will. And want to start an exercise regime even earlier. Perhaps even an SF because we could merge the pregnancy-related SFs at that point.
Most of my maternity clothes ridiculously don't fit me anymore. The leggings are too tight towards the top of my bump and around my thighs, a couple of the pairs of pants just fall down, and quite a few of the tops don't reach right over my bump anymore. I am living in PJs, my old pre-pregnancy Lycra leggings just tucked under my bump, and the few dresses/tops which were REALLY long to begin with lol. Not buying any more though, it would be such a waste of money!!!

I'm doing fine, but a few shirts are riding up a bit. I agree that dresses are much more comfy!

I never had maternity clothes lol but I am down to 2 pairs of shorts, my work pants and I think 1 pair of pants...I bought a bunch of big tanks that are starting to shorten up :/ if I'm not at work or going somewhere I have to look decent I normally just wear gym shorts and one of Taylrs tshirts. And I have one hoodie that still fits that was Taylrs but I took a long time ago!
I got a month left. I'm REALLY hoping I don't have to buy any more shirts at all :/ I'm thinking I may have to tho :/

I'm long out of the only maternity shorts I had - I underestimated how much my hips were going to spread. Since then I've also put on a bit of weight so my jeans are getting tight lol. Fortunately I spend more time at home than out so I don't need an extensive wardrobe. I could really use a comfy skirt though

I'm not doing too bad. I mentioned before that I barely bought any maternity clothes, so the majority of what I wear are pre-preggo shirts, though they're meant to be looser fitting than they are working out to be with a belly.  I only truly have 4 maternity shirts and one of those I don't wear since it has extra tight elastic rouching on the side and its always ridden up, even before my bump was big. As far as bottoms, I'm making due with just two pairs of shorts since they're only worn for a few hours at a time and last a few days before wash since I spend all my time in comfy sleep pants.

All of my maternity stuff still fits me fine, and so do my sundresses. I still have one pair of pre-pregnancy jeans and a few longer pre-pregnancy tops that I can still wear too.

I'm still in all my regular clothes...I never grew into my super cute maternity stuff that I bought. But, I mostly just wear shorts with long tanks and sundresses.

I'm still fitting just fine but I really really MISS wearing my normal clothes. I'm so happy I'm going to be back in regular clothes by fall because fall is by far the best fashion month and I'm really hankering for a new wool sweater.
I hope I can still make use of some of my mat clothes through August and into September when its still hot though. I like to feel I got my money's worth with them.

I'm having trouble with pants. Baby dropped and everything feels too snug. Being on bed rest though, I spend most days naked.

My shorts are all too short so my belly hangs out the bottom.

I seem to get bigger every day, and since I dropped, my stomach hangs out of everything now! Since I am working until Pippa makes her grand entrance, I have to go shopping for longer shirts this weekend. Oh yay- more money on something I will barely use. A co-worker stopped by my desk and said, "Your stomach is hanging out, and your shoes are off." I told her where to shove it- politely.

I'm still doing good. Only have 2 pairs of shorts, but I'm still able to wear most of my regular shirts even.

Growing out of some. My belly is getting too big for some of the shirts and my pants are so much more uncomfortable. I'm wearing DHs Tshirts some days  .

I had one pair of maternity jeans that my bum grew out of a while ago but it's too hot for jeans now anyhow.
Everything else maternity still fits.
