*This is a guest post.
Winter is upon us and that means it is time to bring out all of the warm clothes, or better yet, go shopping for new ones! For most women, this is a fun time to get some new style going and buy the latest fashions, but for moms / moms-to-be that are expecting, this upcoming season can be financially exhausting.
Luckily, pregnant women have another option this winter, previously loved maternity clothing. Instead of spending $30 for a long sleeve shirt, a previously loved, or “slightly used” long sleeve shirt can go for as low as $6.99. Bellies to Babies, (located in Richfield and St. Paul www.belliestobabies.net) is the largest maternity resale company in the Twin Cities, offering hundreds of styles of clothing for prices that won’t break the bank.
For example, the breakdown below shows a whole outfit from Bellies to Babies in Richfield, MN (6634 Penn Ave. S) and online at www.belliestobabies.net that includes a name brand sweater, jeans, and an accent necklace for only $24.99, where this outfit at a department store would run $64.97, saving almost $43!

What really puts the cherry on top of this deal is once a woman has her child, she can go back and sell this clothing to the resale shop from which she bought it, making this a sweet deal this season.

Now that’s an uber cute outfit. Now why didn’t I know this was around while pregnant with my 2nd and 3rd. I was in dire need for cute, affordable clothes!!

FINALLY! And just in time that I’m done having babies lol I wanted something like this to exist so badly with both of my pregnancies. I have several friends who are expecting right now- totaly sending this to them!
Bellies to Babies says
Awesome Shell, thanks for spreading the word!

I didn’t see any rhyme or reason to spend a bundle on maternity clothing during my pregnancies since I knew I’d only be wearing them for a short amount of time. Therefore, I always wore regular clothing. I love these prices, though! Maternity clothing usually isn’t affordable. 😀
Bellies to Babies says
Thanks HilLesha, we totally agree! Please help spread the word, and let us know if we can help you out in any way or a future mom-to-be!

What a great idea. I wish this had been around years ago!
Karen W says
I wish I had this option when I was pregnant (it’s been more than 7 years since the last time!) because I spent a lot of money on my maternity clothes. Thankfully, I was able to use them twice but still… it was money I had to spend. I think this is a great idea and they have great prices!
Bellies to Babies says
Thanks Karen!

This makes a lot of sense. My sister and I were pregnant at the same time, so we were able to trade clothes, but it gets so expensive!!
Beth says
What a great way to save! I love the idea of selling it back!
Bellies to Babies says
Thanks Beth, please help spread the word, we are always looking for maternity clothing!
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting says
Wow! What an amazing concept! Wish this was around when I needed maternity clothes!
Sara P. (@SensiblySara) says
SUCH a smart concept!! I had such a hard time spending money on maternity clothes. THIS is the way to do it.
Mickey says
Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. I hated spending huge amounts of money on maternity clothes and would have loved to save money (or get nicer stuff for the money).
Bellies to Babies says
Thanks Mickey, we hope to help moms all throughout the country save save save!
Digna D. says
Great idea. Clothing is expensive for pregnant women and the clothing is worn very little in most cases. Nice way to save some money.
Liz Mays says
I’m pretty sure I went to some consignment stores and second-hand stores when I was pregnant. I wish I had access to Bellies to Babies because those prices are really good.
Bellies to Babies says
Thanks Liz, please help spread the word to other expecting moms!
Kecia says
Knowing how much maternity clothing can be when bought brand new, I’m always happy to see other options out there. Pregnant women want to have clothes that fit well and are fashionable, without breaking the bank!
Crystal says
Between baby #2 and #3, all of my maternity clothes went out of style. I wish I had used Bellies to Babies to pick up some additional, stylish pieces. I ended up rebuying a ton and spending way too much money.
