How to save money while pregnant......How do you SAVE?

When you were pregnant I am sure you looked at the prices and was like 'OH NO! Way to expensive!!!' or 'How am I gonna afford that?' well I know I was. So my questions are... how did you save? What advice can you give to other moms and dads out there trying to spend on a budget? Also here is a referenced article from planningfamily.com that may have a little bit of tidbits to help save. P.S. Don't forget moms and dads we are looking for any clothing you want to get rid of or donate to other parents basically your good old fashioned clothing swap! Contact me via here if you have some gently used clothing you'd be able to swap. 5 Tips to Save Money during Pregnancy There are some additional expenses that are difficult, if not impossible, to avoid during pregnancy. But today, just about everybody is looking to save money wherever they can. Here are a few suggestions for reducing these extra maternity costs: 1. If you know a friend or relative who was recently pregnant, find out if they have any maternity clothes they would like to pass on to you. 2. Mail order a multi month supply of your prenatal vitamins. This method of buying prescription medication is usually at a discount. 3. Buy empire waist shirts that can be worn after pregnancy instead of maternity tops. 4. Buy a pants extending maternity accessory like the Bella Band in order to wear your pre-pregnancy pants longer. 5. Shop consignment or thrift stores for maternity fashions. 6. Purchase maternity items online. A lot of maternity items you find in stores can be found cheaper online. A great example is a nursing bra. You can try them on in the store to find the one you like best then order it online, typically at a lower price.
