I purchased the relaxed fit XXL maternity Tshirts, they were a mix of VNeck and round neck. Super roomy with lots of room to grow! I wear an XXL in target Merona tshirts (I like my tshirts loose/not too tight) and an XL in ON normally.
I also purchased a size 18 maternity jeans that were loose but not bad looking. I have 2 different styles on order to see if I prefer a different style. That size should work through most of all of my pregnancy.
The 2x maternity jeans from Walmart were tight, cheap feeling and smelly (like chemicals).
For reference I was a 16 Regular / 17 plus (junior plus size for jeggings) or so before pregnancy.
Guys, I just ordered 5 tops from Loft maternity and they are so great! I can even wear them now in my I'm-too-fat-for-my-usual-clothes phase without them seeming too huge. They were all on sale too. I definitely recommend!

I had no idea Loft had maternity
They didn't my last pregnancy, I just happened to stumble upon it last week. But if you like loft you should check out their clothes.

I find that a lot of their clothes have weirdly high necklines. I have a weird thing about my neck feeling constricted. I must have been hanged in my past life or something.

LOL. Well in that case you don't want to bring that experience back!
Guys! Old navy is having a huge in-store sale. I got 3 camis, 2 tanks, 5 tops, 3 dresses, and a vest for just under $150! None of them were actually maternity but they were all like tunics and relaxed fit or flannels
I'm a little late to the "panel" party, but I love full panel when I can fit in them. My stomach is so odd shaped that I can't hold up the full panel yet. My regular pants don't fit and the Demi or low panel hurts, but I found that the new thing is the side inset panels and they are fabulous! I have found them at almost every place that sells maternity. The mostly come in skinny/jegging style though. Target does have some in boot cut.
Our local resale shop, Once Upon a Child (I think they might be a chain?) has not just baby/kids stuff, but also maternity clothes. Great deals on used clothes. I prefer this to buying online, as I can get a sense of quality and fit.
@tclayton53@becbec28 I subscribed to Le Tote for regular clothes for about a year, but I quit this spring because I got contact dermatitis from a dress they sent me. I had a disgusting, itchy rash down both my sides and inside my arms for almost a month. It was awful. I hope it was a one-time thing, and that it won't happen to yall, but I'll never shop Le Tote again because of that. IMO it's disgusting that they wouldn't care for their clothes well enough to prevent disease transmission.
Has anyone ordered from Zulily? I placed a big order about 12 days ago and was really excited, but they told me today that my items are not expected to ship for almost another month. One item has an expected ship date of October 12. What the hell am I supposed to wear until then???
@NiceyMeany, yeah, that's par for the course with Zulily, unless you order their "ready to ship" items. Though October 12 does seem late, even for them.
every year i start to look for my winter coat around now & had been worrying about being massive at christmas and not having a nice coat to wear to mass on christmas day (very much a first world problem i know) but theres a company called jojo maman bebe which does maternity wear aswell as baby stuff (their baby stuff is very cute) & they have some really lovely stuff which is reasonably priced so going to order a coat when i get paid later this week. ive also ordered a swimsuit & pair of jeans from there this morning as the jeans were in the sale & i need a swimsuit for a spa day next weekend. Fingers crossed they fit!
@AfKash seraphine also have some gorgeous coats but are really expensive & if im paying that kind of money i want to get 2-3 winters out of a coat so i wont pay that for a maternity coat
@JulesFo Thanks. I had expected about 2 weeks per their FAQ, but it's already been almost that long and nothing is scheduled to ship until at least September 16. That seems a little much to me.
I saw several people ask about tall lengths for maternity pants and when I looked today I realized I have the opposite problem. I wear an XL or say ano 18 in pants but I am short. I tried on some maternity jeans today at Kohls and they were ridiculously long.
Any suggestions? Most of the ones I got back don't fit anymore, so I will need to replace some essentials.

@Partyof6? I have the same problem! I'm 5'2" and my inseam is between 27 and 28 inches. So far, I've only been able to find jeans at A Pea in the Pod/Destination Maternity/Motherhood. The inseams are around 28 inches if you choose ankle length. They're a little pricey, but every week there's a couple days with a 30%, 40%, or 50% off coupon. Sometimes it's off regular price, sometimes it's off sale only. I bought two pairs and that's all I'm buying. The quality is good so they should last.
When I talked to H about the price, he wasn't thrilled. But he understood once I showed him all the research of all the places I tried. I ordered at least one pair (and returned) from kohl's, target, jcpenny, macy's, dillard's, gap, and old navy.
Re: winter coats. I just bought this today online at Destination Maternity. It's regularly $100, but if you get their emails, you should have a 50% off one regular price item coupon. It's only valid until 11:59 tonight, so check your inbox! So I got this for $50!
Do I really need a maternity coat? I was hoping to get by without one. I usually only wear a sweater coat most of the time in the winter. For context, I'm a Yankee living in the mid-Atlantic region.

I always run super hot when KTFU, so I probably wouldn't.
What do you ladies think of starting a thread for deals and discounts? We could sticky it and whoever comes across with a deal on anything from maternity clothes to baby gear can post it in that thread. I think it would be helpful for all of us!
Last year I got a really big long coat that I am hoping I can use this winter still. One thing I did last year when I had a coat that stopped zipping was to wear a fleece underneath it. It helped so much. I do real estate, so out showing houses in the winter I prefer to be as warm as possible.

I won't, but I live in the Deep South (Mississippi) where it really doesn't get that cold.

Yeah coldest it gets here is like 60's if we are lucky to get that cold!
From my time in LA, it was weird to me that Pumpkin Spice and girls in Ugg boots came out when it was still 72° out. My brain was so confused. I was just happy to dress up in my Halloween costume and not be freezing outside.
