Maternity Clothes Overseas

  Do you have an APO address?    Gap, Old Navy, Ann Taylor Loft, and Target all ship to APO.  I haven't checked Motherhood Maternity for APO shipping, but they might too.

  
  

   I love the Gap maternity jeans, but they're a little expensive.  I've heard good things about Old Navy (which are about half the price) but they're out of the size I need right now.   Everything I've read says to order your normal pre-pregnancy size in maternity clothes.  This worked great for Gap and Loft, but I'm not sure about other companies.

  
  

  I agree though, our BX doesn't have a very good selection of maternity clothes.

  
  

  As far as shopping on the economy, where are you stationed???

  For now you probably only need a belly band (stretchy band of fabric that goes over the top of your non-maternity jeans and allows you to walk around with them unbuttoned) to get through the bloat period. Wait until you actually need real maternity clothes before you spend $$$.

  Due Maternity not only ships to APO/FPO but they ship any size order free and upgrade to priority!  Their clothes are really nice too...a little pricey but they have really good deals in the sale/clearance section    www.duematerninty.com

  I'm stationed in Northern Germany almost Holland. Aachen is about 30 min away but a nice drive so I wouldn't mind going there plus they have a Thai (sp?) place there that the food is GREAT!

  I don't know about German stores.  In the UK, the big department stores have a small selection of maternity clothes.  There's also a store here called MotherCare.   Do you have any German friends who you can ask about stores to shop at?   Consignment/thrift stores might be okay too.  

  
  

  ALSO, with most Amazon.com purchases, you can select Prime shipping, which is priority mail, to APO addresses.  I bought the Bella Band from Amazon.com.

  I second the old navy recommendation but I will add when it comes to ordering, order the next size up bc they fit true to size. And by that I mean there isn't room to grow.

  Besides online shopping to your APO address, H&M has a good maternity selection in stores here.

  I really loved regular (non maternity) leggings throughout my pregnancy. They are usually pretty easy to find and size right. I also wore one size up regular boyfriend tees from target a bunch and they worked throughout my entire pregnancy. I say the only thing that you really need to by "maternity" are jeans. Anything else would really just be a splurge. 

  Hope this helps.
