Maternity Clothes? Ek!

I have been in need of some maternity clothes as of late and I gotta tell you I am very disappointed in the selection and prices of what I am finding (and not finding). I am a cheapo. Seriously. So you won't find me at some expensive joint. I have actually found some cute non-maternity tops at places like Old Navy and Catos and Target. I guess the great thing is I don't work so I don't have to have work clothes. Yoga pants are my friend right now. So I want to know where you ladies are shopping...

Re: Maternity Clothes? Ek!
I'm not an online shopper unless I know how they fit already so I haven't tried Old Navy. I never fit/liked their pants pre pregnancy so I'm not even going to try. I did buy a pair of yoga pants and I'm thankful I don't have to dress up for work!! I'm not finding anything that stands out for me either

With being plus size, I couldn't found anything, so I was very happy when I finally found this store! I bought 6 shirts, a cardigan, a pair of jeans and semi-dress pants. 2 of the shirts are cotton, stretchy & comfy, they are my favorites from the bunch and they are a little bit thicker, so they'll be great as it gets cooler (this is one of them - https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-PLUS-Size-Lilac-Convertible-Sleeve-Pintuck-Henley-Maternity-Top-1X-22-24W-/400727813841?pt=US_CSA_WC_Shirts_Tops&hash=item5d4d3d2ed1).
They ship super fast and do returns as well, but have a pretty detailed sizing chart. 2 of the t-shirts were a little tight on my arms, but fit otherwise.

And i just noticed today our Motherhood went out of business.
I also checked out a Old Navy that has maternity-they were ok not great but I got a few on sale things.
I need to hit up Savers again as the weather is changing and I'm due in a month-I only want a couple cheap long sleeve shirts and I might get some stretchy or yoga pants from walmart, just to get through!
