s/o maternity clothes

I decided to see what was available online for maternity clothes, since I have no clue about any of it, and I was curious what you ladies thought about leggings...

I've always been on the fence about the leggings/tunic top look, but I think it's cute with a baby belly.  Plus, the leggings look very comfortable. 

What do you ladies think about leggings? (P.S. don't hold back Stick out tongue)

    I am not hurting for ANY maternity clothes, but I will be investing in a few pairs (I have 1 I wore w/ DD2).

    Love them! My sister is a great dresser, shops all the time, very stylish NYC girl and she sent me home some flowy tops and told me to wear them with leggings.

    My particular body shape would not bode well in leggins. At all. lol

    I opt for flare jeans and yoga pants and dresses to make me feel presentable :)

    I plan on stretching my wardrobe as much as possible, so leggings are a yes!  they are really comfy too!

    I just bought a pair and will probably buy a couple more.  I love them and they are super comfy. 

    I am a big girl myself so I wear them with very long tops and dress.

    I'm tall and thin, but I just can't get into leggings. Both my sisters have worn them and look adorable, but I just can't bring myself to wear them.

    I wore them all last year with cute little dresses! perfect for winter with boots! I will be wearing them again! but I will not be spending 50 bucks on a pair of "maternity" ones. The target ones work just fine!

    I just got my first pair of leggings and I LOVE them!!! I thought I wouldn't look good in them, but you know, paired with the right top...I think they look pretty darn cute.  I am a huge fan...

    though i am five foot seven, i am chunky...they don't look cute on me at all. i wish i could pull them off, because i think the preggers esp. look cute in them. ::pouts in the corner::

     and btw...as i was typing this, my two year old daughter just came up onto the couch and asked if she could kiss her "sister" as she calls new baby (even though we don't know the sex yet) and then she kissed my belly. it made me melt.

    they are definately not flattering on my body, at least I don't think so! So doubtful I will be buying any. But I think they look cute on skinny girls. Too bad I'm not one!

    I think the look is adorable, but you do have to have a decent figure IMO (which I am sure you do!!).  I have just seen some girls (non pregnant) try to pull off that look and it was tragic...  eg:  very large tree trunk legs...  that would be a no noConfused Otherwise I think they are darling and very comfy:)
