question for you
tomorrow i am supposed to acquire maternity clothes from a friend who tragically lost her baby when she was five months pregnant. i don't want the clothes in my possession but i don't want to hurt her feelings. my husband says i'm being ridiculous and superstitious and it's just clothes. i'm thinking of leaving them in my car trunk but i don't even want to drive with them. would you wear the clothes?

I'd probably keep them somewhere out of the way until I needed them and yeah, then I'd wear them, even with all the superstitions. Maternity clothes are really expensive and I've been taking every hand me down I can get my hands on!
But do what makes you comfortable and causes the least amount on anxiety...we all have enough as it is
I would wear them because it would probably make my friend feel like she could help in a small way. I guess I'm not superstitious.
I would probably wear them too, for the reasons meghan and soapchick mention. I'm not very superstitious either though.
i lost 2 pregnancies in the 5th month. yeah, i'd wear the clothes.
i'm really surprised by the responses. ok, maybe i should consider it. my friends all say not to though but they aren't part of the IF world.
Well, as always, I have to be different and disagree! I wouldn't wear the clothes (but would take them so as not to hurt your friends feelings).Before I went through the m/c and IF I wasn't one of those people bothered about the ayin hara, but now that;s changed. I'm not crazy, it's all the meds!
If the clothes make you uncomfortable, don't wear them! You have to like what you wear, and be comfortable in your clothes.
I think you feel uncomfortable wearing them, then definitely don't. Maybe just keep them in a place where they won't bother you. You have already been through a lot so be kind to yourself!
I think, if your friend gave them to you, wear them in good health - miscarrriage is not a communicable disease. A friend of mine is losing her baby, and she says the worst part is how pregnant women avoid her, as if it was catching. She's generous, doing a mitzvah, helping you out (its true maternity clothes cost a lot!)...I'd say accept graciously and enjoy. Kol tuv, Yael :)
