Maternity clothes

Ok, I am 27 weeks with di di twin girls and rapidly out growing my maternity clothes. I carry babies with what I call a torpedo belly, straight out front. For previous pregnancies, I had some issues in the last weeks, but I have months to go! I am still wearing my size 8 pants, but finding shirts to cover my belly is getting ridiculous. And all the super fitted ones seem to make me look kinda silly, since my belly getting so big. And all the tight stuff is kinda uncomfortable now. Any idea where else to get maternity clothes for MoMs!?!

Re: Maternity clothes

  • I hate to think what I've spent on maternity clothes since I outgrew things faster than I thought I would. I ended up getting most of mine from Motherhood Maternity, Old Navy, and some from Target. At the end most of my stuff now is knit as nothing else f

  • I progressed from size small to medium to large with my pregnancy (pre-pregnancy am a size 4-6).  By the end I only had 3 sweaters/tops that fit my belly, but I was on bed rest so I spent most of the time in men's XXL shirts.  I recommend any ma

  • I am right behind you.  I am having trouble with certain maternity pants too.  I have a few shirts that I found that work and I bought one in about 4 different colors.  Ugh! I am finding that those that have a band that sits in the middle
  • After spending a ton on maternity clothes and outgrowing them, I started going to thrift stores and hunting for longer, stretchier shirts.  I now have a bunch of non-maternity shirts and sweaters that fit my belly better than most of the maternity cl

  • I didn't get super-big (for twins) but I am very tall so I needed really long tops.  I had a lot from Old Navy that were sold as tunics, but on me they were normal shirts.  I also had a couple of knit dresses from Target that I lived in when

    I found great maternity tanks at Target - I think they were Bee Maternity brand that were super long and covered my stomach so that if the shirt I had over it was short it didn't matter.

    I also ended up in clothes that weren't maternity.
