Plus Size Maternity Clothes

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find plus size maternity clothes, mainly pants?  I have yet to find a store that offers maternity clothes in plus size and I'm frustrated.  I HATE ordering clothes online bc I can't try them on but that seems to be the only option.  Know of any good websites? Thanks in advance :)

    I remember seeing some at both Motherhood Maternity and Target.  Good luck!

    I actually went to Motherhood Maternity this weekend. They have a small section of plus size. I bought 2 shirts and a dress. They are sort of pricey, so I will continue looking around. I too am frustrated. I did go into Gap maternity, they did say that they sell plus size only online, not in the stores.

    I tried Old Navy and my boobs don't fit in their extra large :( I did find a super cute maternity dress at Target on clearance for $10 though and my SO even loves it so score! But it's the pants that are my main concern, I don't really feal confident in tight black leggings even though I don't doubt their awesomeness in the comfort section, but just want some jeans.  I just hate buying online bc if they don't fit it's an extra step to return them.  Maybe I'll have better luck in Denver this week, crossed fingers.

    motherhood maternity is where I get mine and I usually try to find an outlet store or buy online since they seem to have better sales.

    I hit all of the Goodwill's in my area and came away with 2 pairs of jeans and 4 pairs of other pants. They are all XL's but they had larger sizes too.

    I like that they separate the maternity from the rest of the clothing so you don't have to search through 150 things to find 1 maternity item.

    Motherhood Maternity was where I bought two pairs of jeans and a pair of slacks (all size XL). I'd say I'm probably a size 16 pre-pregnancy, and they all fit me well to that size.

     I wasn't able to fit into their XL tops though. But my arms and boobs have always been on the bigger size so I always have a hard time finding things that fit those areas. So far I haven't purchased any maternity tops yet :(

    I recently lost a lot of weight and would say im more of a 14/16 now and fit into XL at motherhood. I find their stuff runs big. I do know they carry plus size and so does ON. I also found that a lot of my older 2x tops are working for a while. GL

    The thing with maternity pants is to remember you don't need to worry about fitting the waist, just the legs, so there's a much smaller risk of having pants not fit right if you order them online. Shirts are more challenging, especially if you have larger breasts,
    but there are some good suggestions above.

    I got some cute tops at Sears this weekend. But the best place I've found is actually Burlington Coat Factory. I was a 14 pre-pregnancy, I'm already up to about an 18 (I've gained 20 lbs with comfort eating through a stressful relationship + baby). I struggle to find things to accommodate my full belly (which does look pregnancy, lucky for me) and DD chest.

    Sear's is where I got my work pants at. I've given up trying to find jeans that aren't too expensive, so until Feb. I'll be rocking some sweat pants. At least I'll be comfy!

    I was a size 20 pre-preg, and I've been going to Motherhood Maternity. (Actually it's a Destination Maternity, has both A Pea in the Pod and Motherhood, but I don't even dare LOOK at the APITP section.) I go weeknights when there are less/no people there. The salesgirls there are SUPER helpful, I know they work on commission, but I love how much they help me while I'm there. Both times I've gone in they ask me what I'm looking for, ask me what size I think I need (apparently last time I was wrong, I asked for 1X, and she told me no way was I a 1X, and brought me all XL, and they all fit) and then pull a whole bunch of stuff for me to try on. I browse while they pull stuff, and they'll ask me color preferences, style preferences, etc while they shop for me. It's awesome because my DH has absolutely no opinion, and my bff is having financial issues, so I feel badly asking her to shop with me.

    Sorry about the novel. Good luck!
