petite moms

Any petite moms found a cheaper place for maternity clothes?  I'm super short and small (5'1" 100# preprego) so the old Navy stuff doesn't fit and the real maternity stores are so expensive! Would love any advice. Currently just wearing dresses and flowy stuff :)

Try burlington coat factory, ross or tj maxx... they also have awesome finds and are way less expensive

Thanks for the suggestions mamas! I live in a very small town with maternity store and the nearest one is 1 hour away (2 hours round trip)! Historically,  I haven't purchased clothing online bc I'm so petite it rarely fits correctly,  but I think I'll try the one mentioned above that has easy returns! Thanks again ladies!!

I'm 5"1' also, 109lvs preprego so can feel your pain with finding prego clothes. We've been watching the sales at motherhood maternity and found their clothes have better sales online versus in store. We go try the clothes in store then order online.

Another option is zulily - you can find it online as well as on their app. Some of their maternity collections are as low as $10-$15 for tops, but you have to jump on them fast or else they sell out. Hope this helps!

Babies r us has a huge 70% off sale right now on all their Thyme maternity clothing and they have sizes XS-2XL including maternity and nursing bras. If you don't have one in the area go to their website. They also make returns easy so if you purchase something and it doesn't fit, it's easy to send back.

I have been going to thrift stores and buying motherhood maternity brand clothing. I did spend a good amount of money on two pairs of materinty jeans from motherhood maternity when they were on sale. They have clothes in "short" sizes. I was 5' 136# preprego. Otherwise I have been wearing jeans with elasitic waist bands. It makes me feel old lady like but they are comfy.
