Old Navy's w/Maternity section

jen&jay07 · October 2010

Hi....

I'm looking for a local Old Navy store that has a maternity section. I live on the south shore and visit the new ON in Hingham often but they don't have a mat. section in the store. Anyone know which stores in MA do? I've looked online and I really like their stuff but would like to see it in person rather than buying online and having to ship it back if I don't like it.

Any info you ladies have would be greatly appreciated!

Last year when I was pregnant, the ON in Kingston was closing/moving to Plymouth and they told me the Maternity line they used to have was shifted to the Hanover Mall store. I haven't been in awhile, but it's probably still there!

If you go to their website you can search for stores that carry maternity. I went to one yesterday and was VERY disappointed though. The section was sooooo small.

Kohls in Hingham has a maternity section. In case that helps :-)

I know ON in Dedham has a maternity section, but like PP said, it's super small. ON tends to run true to their pre-pregnancy size (on the large side!), and the website has super helpful reviews on ordering and sizes.

Just for some unsolicited advice... I bought a bunch of stuff at ON in my late 1st/early 2nd tri, but Motherhood has been SO much better for me! There is a Motherhood outlet in Wrentham, and the "secret fit" belly is a lot more comfortable for jeans and pants than ON pants. The ON pants have an elastic at the top of the full panel belly and for probably 10+ weeks now, everytime I put them on, LO can feel the elastic waist and kicks the crap out of it (usually right in my ribs). Also, Motherhood t-shirts are a little longer than the ON shirts I got, and at this point they're the only ones that fit me (the ON shirts stopped covering my belly entirely about a month ago!)

You can search for ALL locations or just the MATERNITY locations. The in-store selections are very small though. I got a few basic t-shirts and tank tops there. I also tried on pieces there and used that sizing to help me decide on pieces I could order online. When ordering I also used the online reviews (which were pretty accurate). I was able to pick up a bunch of great deals by ordering from the sale section ... I ordered a bunch of t-shirts/ short sleeves in the fall with the end of summer sale and they came in handy in the spring/summer when I was in my 3rd trimester.

Keep in mind that your size will change dramatically before returning clothes. I ordered a pair of pants around 10 weeks and almost returned them because they were huge but just forgot to return them. At the end they were one of 2 pairs of pants that still fit me.

Other thoughts: I wasnt a huge fan of Motherhood. Loved the ruched t-shirts but a lot of their other shirts just felt frumpy. I found a bunch of things I liked/ could try on at Kohl's and JCPenny.

Ditto pp who said the Dedham ON's maternity section is small. And they had no work-appropriate clothing. I ordered online from them with pretty good luck, and you can do free returns on maternity items to regular stores.

Also ditto pp who said to buy loooong. Most of my maternity shirts are too short now, and I've only gained about 20 lbs.
