Where do you ladies find maternity clothes for a reasonable price? This is my last pregnancy and I don't want to spend a lot of money for a couple months. TIA
Thrift stores. One near me had a fairly decent maternity section. Otherwise I just buy shirts in the next size (or two) up. I have a few tops and pants from Target and Zulily.com and a couple splurges (all things that can hopefully be worn after pregnancy) from Gilt.com.
I bought lots of stuff at Winners (Canadian TJ Maxx)... worked awesome for cheap tops. They were not maternity tops but I picked flowy stuff that stretched like crazy ( I gained 50 lbs, so I was by no means small). Wasn't able to do pants from there though... had to go to maternity stores for pants.
I've done very few actual maternity clothes. I stuck with yoga pants, stretchy tanks and cute jackets for work... and then Sun dresses and maxi dresses for everything else.

I went to children's consignment stores that had maternity clothing. I got some nice name brand items that had only been worn a few time for a major discount.
I have bought two different lots of maternity clothes off of Craig's List (search for maternity in the baby+kids section) for cheap. I got a wide variety of clothes in good shape and I loved the fact that I didn't have to go shopping for them.
BFP #1 on 12/15/11 but missed m/c with d&c on 2/1/12.
BFP #2 on 5/1/13 = boy/girl TWINS with EDD of 1/3/14 but expected no later than 12/20/13.
Thyme (a maternity store in Canada that you can now order through Babies R Us - cheap but really good quality - a pair of pants and some tops) Target (Tops) Gap (work shirt dress and pair of pants) Thankfully my suit jackets work just fine.
Casual -
Thyme (jeans, crops and leggings, and pajamas) Old Navy (tops, sweatshirt) Motherhood (cute t-shirts and casual dresses)
All of my motherhood stuff was gifted from my mother in law, otherwise I find their stuff a bit pricey.
I am still looking for a bathing suit that has two shoulder straps (I can't do racerback or halter, hurts my back)
I wore what I had from my previous (singleton) pregnancy for as long as I could, then supplemented with some stuff that I got on sale from Old Navy and Target.
I was so tiny with DD and I wasn't working so I barely bought anything. I actually just went to Ross and found a lot of cute maternity clothes. I spent 60 dollars on 5 shirts/ blouses, a sweater dress, and a pair of black dress pants. I can't believe how well I did!
