Maternity suit jackets

Ughhh, I was hoping this wouldn't ever happen, but I can already tell my jackets are getting tight.  I don't have to wear a suit everyday, but I will need a black jacket that I can throw on with black pants for a meeting here and there.  I'm an outside sales rep, and it's mostly business casual but for an important meeting you need to wear a jacket.  I thought I could get away with wearing my regular black jacket with some black maternity pants, but I think in about 2 or 3 months it won't work anymore. 

Does anyone know where you can get a reasonably priced ($50 range) suit jacket? And, are they cute?

    If you're looking for a nice maternity suit jacket you can try Pea in a Pod, although they are expensive, you might be able to find one on sale.  Motherhood has a few also and are a lot cheaper.

    Yeah, I was thinking of Motherhood, hadn't looked yet.  I may need to keep an eye out for sales at both places.

    The only decent quality maternity suiting I've seen is at Pea in the Pod.  Sadly, it's definitely on the expensive side.  I paid almost $200 for my jacket, but really didn't see any other option.

    I had gotten one at Motherhood on sale for $20.  No joke.  I'd look there... Oh, mine was a destination maternity store, but it was made by Motherhood...

    good luck!

    I am an attorney so I have to have at least one suit to wear to court.  I have spent the last few months looking for one because I knew sooner or later I would not be able to wear my regular jackets.  I think Pea in the Pods stuff is awful, I just can't bring myself to pay $250 for polyester.  I found one great suit by Chaiken Maternity on hautelook.com but I don't know where you can find that brand in stores and it would have been really expensive if I hadn't gotten it on clearance at hautelook.com.  I would try nordstrom.com.  They actually have a great online maternity section and pretty good sales (you just have to check a lot).  Also, if you have a nordstrom in your area you can make returnds directly to the store so you don't have to pay shipping.  Mostly, I have just taken to wearing cardigans at my office instead of jackets and have my one maternity suit in reserve for whenever I go to court.  Good luck!
