Plus size maternity clothes NW suburbs

I am on the hunt for plus sized clothes for during my pregnancy (on a budget) and what I am finding online is making me feel a touch of self-loathing for being plus sized...

    If you don't mind second hand clothes, eBay can be a gold mine!

  • I didn't work during my pregnancy so I didn't need a big wardrobe, yoga pants were fine for the most part. But, I did buy a few key items at Target and Old Navy. Most Old Navys don't have maternity sections in-store, but the one in Bloomingdale on Army Trail had a small section when I was pregnant in 2011. I loved my ON maternity jeans!

  • I had some good luck at the Motherhood Maternity outlet in Aurora.   They didn't have many dresses though!

    However, I did find a cute dress at the Talbots outlet that should work.  For dresses, too... I found one I liked on Etsy... I may try to order it for two weddings in May & June!  Something from this shop: dresses

  • I got mine at the outlet mall in Aurora also. I also found some at Motherhood Maternity at the Fox Valley Mall now Westfield.
  • Thank you all. Maternity shopping seems to be kicking my self confidence square in the a$$.

  • Kohls actually has a small plus size maternity section & the last I heard the Old Navy in Aurora (Rt. 59) has a maternity section. I got a majority of my clothes were at the motherhood maternity in Michigan City Indiana ITS THE BEST OUTLET MALL EVER!!
