Worth every cent. Full panel is great even now, at almost 36 weeks. I stopped being able to comfortably wear my demi panel pants at about 30ish weeks.

I am 5'2" and was 93lbs pre-pregnancy so Motherhood had the only clothes that fit, especially early in the pregnancy. I'm sure now I could shop at Old Navy or Gap (especially for shirts) but up until really my third trimester, Motherhood was my go to place.

I only have two pairs of jeans, both bought at Motherhood. Most of my tops are Motherhood as well, however, they were bought off eBay (a great way to save lots of $$$).
I'm currently wearing Platex 18 hour bras that I bought at JC Penney but need to invest in some nursing bras. I'm still not sure where I'll buy them or what brands I'll get since the girls are big and I'll most likely have to go to a specality shop for bras.
An absolute must have: old navy maternity yoga pants. Get more than one pair. You will not regret it!
I really like the motherhood maternity jeans, personally. They also have some nice tops (I never bought them full priced, always on sale).
Pea in the Pod for petite work pants.
Motherhood for petite jeans.
Gap for tops and dresses.
Target for Ingrid and Isabel tanks - wide straps to hide your bra straps.
I grew out of Demi and Semi belly panels really early on. They started to pinch and dig in. Full belly panels rock my world.
For bras I didn't buy maternity bras but I did end up getting refitted 4 times as I got bigger and bigger. One time I ws able to get by with just an extender, but I did have to buy new bras each time my cup size increased.
A sleep bra helps with breast tenderness too.
Same with me! 5'2", pre-preg 105/6ish. I bought everything from Motherhood Maternity too except for a target bella band which I still use on some of my roomier pants to give myself more variety. I am living in the S/M size white and black seamless maternity camis (they help cover/smooth the maternity waist band of pants under shirts and give me a little extra length on tops if needed. )https://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=930940110&MasterCategory_Id=MC12
Also, I have a grey and brown pair of Secret Fit belly twill bootcut maternity pants in petite xs that I have gotten a ton of use out of. https://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=99827Z10044&MasterCategory_Id=MC5
I love Old Navy jeans. I can't stand the "over the belly" panels and Old Navy has the most comfy preggo jeans with a small band that goes under the belly. I had to go a size smaller than I wore in pre-preggo jeans, though.
I also got tank tops and stretch pants at Target. They were cheap and have held up really well. I also bought Target brand Belly Bands to make my regular jeans last longer.
