Has anyone been maternity shopping?

I know it's so early and things could go wrong, but there's such great sales on summer maternity clothes that I feel like I would rather return things in the event of a m/c than wait and end up paying full price. Am I crazy?

Re: Has anyone been maternity shopping?
Oh no . . . now I have to look at pea in the pod.
I love their stuff but it's usually pretty pricey!
Destination maternity/pea in a pod/motherhood has pretty much all summer things for 50% off. DM sells all the of pea in a pod and motherhood lines so you can put things from both stores into the same "shopping bag" and just pay the flat rate shipping once. Pea in a pod jeans are great so I got a pair of jean capris for under $40.
I also got a few things from ON when they were having their 15% off sale.
I bought 2 pairs of full panel jeans, one pair of colored skinny's with a demi panel, and a sleep bra from Gap Maternity over the weekend. They were having a 60% off sale and I think I paid around $50 for everything.
I'm wearing the jeans today and they are soooo much more comfortable than using the belly band, so I may make the switch to maternity pants.

I shop at asos.com regularly and always kept an eye on the maternity stuff.
tax and shipping are already included into the price. free returns.
A++ in my book.
Do you find Gap maternity to be true to size compared to their regular clothes? I usually like to try on first but have Gap jeans and could order the same size as I have now! I would just like to have a nice quality pair of jeans...the motherhood maternity stuff is not that great...and Old Navy is good but not as nice as Gap!

Looks like I need to do some shopping!
Not to be a debbie downer, but you probably wouldn't feel that way if it actually were to happen (which I sincerely hope it doesn't). I needed to return/exchange a Bella Band (wrong size) with my first pregnancy, but then I miscarried before I got the chance. I couldn't even *think* about going near the store to return it for months and by the time I did it had been so long that they wouldn't let me (even though it was still sealed in packaging) so I had to re-gift it to a friend. It sucked.
Now, that doesn't mean that it's not worth taking advantage of some amazing deals. But don't count on returning them in a worst case scenario. Buy some staple items that will be good to have with this pregnancy and any future ones, regardless of season.
