For ordering online, go Zulily. I also highly recommend local consignment shops. They have great finds for a fraction of the price of the store and they are in fantastic shape.
Last time I got a lot from Gap, Old Navy, Target, and a couple of nicer items from Pea in the Pod. I have some items I can reuse, but I have a lot of winter stuff because I was pregnant through more of winter last time. So I'll be getting a few new things this time.
Is anyone going to do Stitch Fix Maternity? I've gotten a couple of regular Stitch Fix boxes, may look into a maternity box.
Old Navy and Gap. I love Target, but not for maternity clothes. The quality and fit were lacking. ASOS has cute dresses. My one splurge is maternity jeans at Pea In The Pod- pricey but worth it.
I highly recommend thred up! Here's a link for $10 off your first purchase- https://www.thredup.com/r/B4PKQT It's basically an online consignment and they have maternity. I've ordered a bunch of stuff- regular and maternity and it's all been great!
I liked target for casual stuff and LOFT (online only) for work stuff. LOFT also often has good sales. I also got a nice pair of pants for work from Gap.

I am! I love Stitch Fix! I haven't changed my profile to let them know I'm pregnant yet. Will probably do that this week, assuming all goes well at our appointment Thursdsay.
I have a lot of Old Navy maternity clothes. I would definitely read the reviews online for each item before you purchase. They definitely sway my decision on what to get and sizing.
Just got some stuff yesterday as I'm blumping too much for my shorts and pants now...... (it's happening!!! Ahhh)
I tried Target at first and was pretty disappointed with the selection. First off, sizing runs huge, the jeans are pretty much all flared and run short, the shorts stretch out very quickly, and the dresses depress me. Now, this could be MY target, usually I buy a ton of stuff from Target so I was surprised.
Yesterday I went to H&M and they didn't have a maternity section, but their kids section was cute! Never looked in there...it took a lot of resistance to not buy. Haha.
Finally ended up at Motherhood Maternity/Pea in the Pod. I really liked their selection and didn't find the prices to be that extreme. I got two pair of nice shorts for $30/each (Target = $25), a cute flowy tank top that would be cute not pregnant for $25, a pair of Jessica Simpson brand skinny jeans (awesome!!) for $45, and splurge item - a pair of Sevens that are nice and long and a really classy flare. They were on sale. Most everything is on sale. Plus you get a really nice personalized experience and help. I will definitely go back once I need more tops.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the girl who helped me said once you have the baby, certain alteration/dry cleaners can attach a new band to the top of your jeans so they're still wearable!! Made the designer jean purchase much more worth it.
I bought a bunch of things at Motherhood Maternity and was surprised at how affordable it was. I was also impressed with their plus size selection. They even had plus size petit pants. I wasn't sure I was going to find that combo.

Thredup.com register with them and wait a few days, they will send you an email with a code for 40% off. I used that and got 6 really nice shirts for $50. Then you can share your link the the above poster did and you'll get $10 and they'll get $10. Start with the 40% off though!!
Thank you to those who introduced me to thred up. Such awesome stuff for sooo cheap! I am really happy I found it. I got some pants, dresses, work shirts and a winter parka for 80$!!!
