At the beginning of you might not need the extra clothes, but do not be surprise that at the end you might not even fit into half of the clothes that you purchase earlier. Then you will start to panic as you do not have enough clothes. This is when most pregnant mum starts to panic and will purchase maternity clothes at exuberant prices. However there are some techniques that can help you save money.
Although this might not be something that you would like, but have you ever considered borrowing the clothing from someone else? This is one of the best ways to save money on maternity clothing as you really do not have to spend on anything at all. Many women save their maternity clothing
from nightgowns to evening dress while they are still planning on having more children. If you know of some that is close to you that does this, you might consider asking her if you could borrow her clothes. But of course, your friend’s body size should be almost or close to yours in order to have a proper fit.One of the biggest problems faced by new mums in Malaysia is that there are not many discount stores that sell maternity clothes Malaysia. Sometimes I wish we had a Wal-Mart like in the US or Canada, but I guess we will just have to do with what we have. There are not many discount stores, so you will just have to research online or just ask around in forums, etc.
I know of friends that actually wear regular clothes but just in larger size during pregnancy. However, this method will only work if you have a petite body size to begin with. That way you could just buy a dress or a shirt that is 2 to 3 sizes bigger.
Another alternative is to buy pre-loved clothes. You could be just paying a faction of the cost compared if you were to buy it new. There are many blog shops online now that does this. They even provide the condition of the clothes. You will be surprise on that this maternity garments are still in good quality. Maybe the fashion could be outdated, but who cares. You should save money for your baby that is on the way. There are not many of these types shops around so your best bet is to go online. As you can see there are a lot of methods to save money while pregnant. If you know of any other tips, please feel free to let me know.
