Business-friendly Maternity Wear

Hey fellow moms to be! I'm a first time mom who works full time in a business-dress work place. Any advice on how to transition my wardrobe into bump-friendly attire? I prefer pants over dresses, unfortunately. Where are the best places to find maternity where for the office without breaking the bank?

    When I had my daughter 5 years ago I bought 3-4 dress pants from Motherhood and wore a lot of non-maternity tops that would stretch. Then I would throw on a blazer and be done.  This time I'm trying to be a little more proactive and get pieces I actually like rather than just buying whatever I can find or what's on sale.

    Lately I've been shopping at this online consignment store called ThredUp.  I just set up alerts for brands that I want to watch for...Seraphine, Isabella Oliver, Pea in the Pod, Motherhood, Loft (they have great work pants), etc....The prices are great, and they usually have discount codes for 15% off (especially if you download the app).  You can also return items so it's very low risk if the items doesn't work.  I'm pretty picky with consignment clothes and I love it.  I've gotten several 'new with tags' and 'like new' items that I'm really excited to wear later this year.

    I’ve had good luck with consignment shops (nicer ones!) and I’ve even gotten a. Few cute pieces (tops) from a company called sweet mommy on amazon (I only bought nursing clothes, but I think they make maternity as well.

    luckily, people are very forgiving about what pregnant women wear, so I’d get 2-3 outfits you love  and rotate! I’d also be open to dresses. They are so much easier and soon enough can be worn with tights and leggings.
