Have any of you tried these types of stores for maternity clothes yet or with a previous pregnancy? I am going back to work in two weeks and will need some clothes that actually fit before then. Motherhood Maternity isn't incredibly expensive, but they have a limited amount of clothes. That's the only store in our town that has dedicated maternity clothes. I checked out Target yesterday, and I they had next to nothing!

Re: Tj Maxx/Ross/Marshalls for Maternity Clothes?
<a href="http://s651.photobucket.com/albums/uu234/bear7328/?action=view
During my last pregnancy, I found several cute pairs of jeans at Ross (and I normally have trouble finding jeans long enough). I think I paid $10/pair? I don't think I really ever found anything other than the jeans. My TJMaxx doesn't carry maternity, so you might call the stores ahead to save a trip.
The TJ Maxx near me doesn't carry maternity. I did get some stuff at Ross. Their shirt selection wasn't very good, but I did get two pair of maternity jeans for $4.99 each! They also had work pants for like $14.99, but my office is casual so I just got the jeans. I haven't checked Marshalls. Do you have a Burlington? The one near me has a decent selection in maternity.

I remember always being jealous of the cute maternity clothes at Target. I would accidently find something cute and it would be maternity. But I tried several (of the few) things on and nothing looked good.
Loft has been working for me.
Kohls is all about the sales & coupons. I got 2 shirts this weekend originally $30/each on sale for $15 each and i had a 20% coupon and they were giving kohls cash. although $5 is way better then $12....I detest the 1/4 sleeves that designers call short sleeves, hoping i'll have better luck w/ long sleeve tops at discount places. For the most part my wardrobe is still cloths that I wore before I lost weight but I know those days are probably numbered!!
Marshalls doesn't carry maternity anymore (at least the one by me doesn't anymore). I found a few cute dresses at Burlington but the quality is horrible, I won't wear them out of the house. I find stuff at Gap, check your store though because not all of them carry maternity. Most of my work maternity came from Ann Taylor Loft when they sold in stores but they don't anymore and their online stuff never seems to go on sale.
Best bet for good stuff that's inexpensive is a consignment store.
