Maternity Clothes?

jelly0822

So we went looking for maternity clothes yesterday and it ended up with me in a mini-meltdown. We went to Old Navy because it said online they had the skinny jeans now for maternity, and I wanted some. The section is like five feet by five feet! And then DH made me go and look at Pea in the Pod. This prices are crazy and the sizes are way off.

So I got really pissed and cried. So now I'm looking more online an wondering what everyone recommends? I like the clothes on ASOS, and the prices are alright. Some of the stuff on TopShop is alright, but some is pricey. Then the H&M stuff is cute, but there isn't much of it. Where else would you recommend looking for stuff that's inexpensive but also not frumpy?

I bought some from Kohl's.  I got a pair of pants that you can wear as pants or roll up the legs and they become capris.  I also went to Motherhood.  When I went in there they were having a great sale on their jeans.  I got 2 pairs for $20 a piece.  I paid more for the shorts I bought from there.  I also got a pair of shorts from JcPenny.  I hope you are successful at finding some clothes.  I know how frustrating it is when your regular clothes stop fitting and you have no choice but to go buy maternity clothes.

I like the Gap and Target. In the store Target doesn't have very much, but you can go there to figure out sizes and then buy online. (if you have a Target Redcard you get 5% off and shipping is free). For the Gap, check online if any stores near you have a maternity section. Again, not a huge selection in the store, but you can figure out sizes. The Gap online frequently has sales and promotions for extra % off.

I just purchased a pair of Noppies jeggings and I love them....you can't tell they are a) jeggings or b)pregnancy related clothing. They are based in the NL but it looks like Noppies are sold in the States and they are on sale for 30E.

I completely understand how you feel!  I've gotten my jeans and dress pants from Motherhood.  My tops and dresses, I still get from the regular places I shop at, just a size larger so they will fit later in pregnancy.  I think it is mega difficult to find cute maternity clothes at decent prices.  Good luck

I have had a lot of luck at Target and Motherhood Maternity.

I have some from Kohls, Motherhood, Target, Zulily, and ebay. You really have to try them on, sizes are so out of whack everywhere. Today I went to Younkers and just bought an XL flowy top on sale and it works perfect for maternity, stylish too.

I love Old Navy. I just went there to figure out my size in things. Then came home and bought everything online. I have some really cute clothes. I also love Target. None of their maternity sections are huge in store, but online is huge. So I just figure out size and order online.

I have shorts from Motherhood that I like. I have work pants from gap that I love (Demi panel perfect boot pants). The gap pants were not super cheap but they are machine washable so I just bought two and wash a lot. I have Old navy jeans that don't look maternity but I feel like I'm always pulling them up. I also have old navy shorts that I like. So far I have done almost all shopping online.  If you read the reviews it is not too hard to figure out the correct size. The only store I actually went in to try on clothes was Motherhood.

I have had the best luck at Kohls for pants and dresses. Target has been where I have gotten all my shirts at. I did buy shirts at Motherhood but I quickly found out that I did not like them compared to Target.

I went to motherhood today actually and got a few new things that I can wear now and transition into fall.  I absolutly LOVE their pants.  I am short and petite build so it's difficult for me to find pants anyways other than LOFT but motherhood's small petite pants fit amazing.  Their leggings are incredible and hold up very well when washed and dried.  I think their prices are reasonable for their items as well.  I got jeans today for $39.98 and my dress pants were only $40 too! Awesome if you ask me...

My favorite things have come from Target. The selection/availability of maternity clothes is pitiful, imo.

We went shopping last weekend (? I think? maybe the weekend before) and I ended up in tears, too. Our Kohl's, JC Penney's, Ross and TJ Maxx all have maternity "departments" consisting of about 2 racks of clothes. Grrrrr.

I had a meltdown yesterday, too.  We were having family pics yesterday, and I had nothing cute to wear.  I have some summery stuff from my pg with DD, but I was super pregnant when I bought them and didn't really care anymore at that point what I looked like!  I had been managing to wear regular clothes up until recently (with a Bella Band), but that wasn't working any longer.  

I did order a cute dress from Zulilly, but it is from sweet pea maternity. https://www.sweetpeamaternity.com/default.aspx  They have a pretty nice selection of dresses if you look on their website.  I am considering buying another one (found that they run a little small - in Motherhood things, I was a small for dresses, shirts, and a medium for pants - my dress is a medium and it fits perfectly)!  I also went to Kohls, and bought a pair of shorts, a skirt, cropped jeans (I rolled them up to make capris, will unroll them in the fall and wear with boots), and two shirts.  I had also bought a shirt at Target not long ago.

I really love my Liz Lange jeans from Target, they fit perfect and are cute like normal jeans. I have also had a lot of luck at my goodwill, I got 3 pairs of really cute barely used pants and a brand new top for 20$ so imo it's definitely worth a look, especially since you're only wearing it for a certain amount of time.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I'll try Zulily online. I'm also looking at Target and Old Navy online. I wasn't too impressed with Motherhood, but I may have to take a look again. I may look at Destination Maternity to see if there are any better prices there.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has meltdowns with stuff!
