2nd Trimester
Another question for the plus size ladies
Where do you buy your maternity clothes? So far I'm only finding plus size maternity at Motherhood. Someone suggested Target but I didn't see anything there that would fit. Tried Wal Mart but that was a no-go. Didn't see anything at Kohl's either.
FYI-not complaining about Motherhood at all. I was told by someone not to go there because of their 'no return' policy and their prices but close to everything I've bought was on sale/clearance (like the $19.99 shirt I'm wearing today), and I ALWAYS try on before buying just to make sure.
Just looking for some variety...
TIA,
Sandi

Re: Another question for the plus size ladies
I was a 24 pre-preg and the only places I've found are Motherhood and JC Penney.
I'm going to say I was an 18-20 pre preg. At Motherhood I go for the 1X or 2X, depending on the item. Hhhmmm. Don't think I checked JC Penny. Thanks.
I know it's unrealistic, but I'm hoping to get away with wearing a bella band the whole time and trying to avoid maternity pants all together. *Sigh* I know i'm already big, but it doesn't make getting bigger any easier.
I just got 3 pairs of pants from JC Penny's! They, fit, feel great, have full tummy pannels and were really cheap! I normally am a 1x (16/18), but I have a smaller waist and fuller hips and even with that the JCP XL fit fine. Be careful with Old Navy. I have found their XXL pants to be way too small, but their XXL tops are H U G E! Had to send everything back! Try the XL pants at Penny's, then you might have an easier time if you have to buy online. I also bought some yoga/strech pants in black and grey just one size bigger (2X) and they also fit and feel really good.
Good Luck!
I was also an 18-20 ?pre-preg. I get a lot of my maternity tops at Gap Maternity. I usually just shop the sale rack there though. I fit in their XL size, and they also have an XXL (mostly just online though). If there is an actual store in your area I suggest going there instead of ordering online because often the sale prices in store are cheaper than online. As far as pants, sadly their pants don't fit me
so I got a couple pairs from Motherhood on sale. I've also been using the Bella Band a lot and will continue to use that until I simply can't anymore. I've found that the maternity pants are so huge in the hips that they look bunchy on me. 
??
I've gotten most of my stuff at Motherhood Maternity and have not had a problem with them. They do have a return policy, but it is only something like 10 days from date of purchase and does not include clearance, those are considered final sale. I usually don't try on clothes, I just buy. But since being pregnant I have made sure to try everything on, even if I'm positive it will fit.
I do find stuff at Target, but they are not as generous with thier plus size clothes. I have a couple pair of pants are are either XL or XXL. I cannot fit in their sized (12,14,16,etc) clothes, they are cut very slim. I have a couple shirts from Target as well, but again they are not cut generously, so I wind up in the 2XL because of my boobs and broad shoulders.
I have also ordered a pair of pants from Old Navy, but they are not generous at all with thier plus size maternity.
Good luck clothes hunting!
I put off getting maternity pants and it turned out I love them. WAY more comfy and WAY easier (considering how often I pee, it's nice to be able to get the pants down ASAP without messing with the buttons and zippers LOL). Try them!
I'm a 22/24 and was hoping to Bella Band my way through this too. TOTALLY not happening here lol. Although that makes me happy that the baby belly is already visible
Here are a list of plus size places that may be able to help you!
Hope these help!!!
