Best maternity purchase yet

Okay, so I have been quite uncomfortable in most of the maternity wear that I have bought so far. The elastic waists that seem to be so popular in all of the stores around here seem to cut into my belly. I think this makes the little guy more active and then of course that triggers my cramping. I have been debating for some time about getting some of the motherhood maternity secret belly fit pants, but because they are 30$ +, I've been holding off. I finally got so fed up with being uncomfortable all day in the maternity pants that I had that I finally bought a pair. They are so comfy that I have ordered three more pair. I tried to find them in my size on ebay and other places but couldn't seem to find them. Oh, well. I paid full price for something and to tell the truth, this is the best purchase that I have made for myself so far.

As a heads up, I was at toys r us last week and they had alot of baby clothes on clearance. The sign said 30-40% off, since they already had clearance stickers, I figured the price was as marked. But when I got up to the checkout there was an addition 30-40% taken off the clearance sticker. I bought 10 outfits (pants, shirt, some with hats, etc) for 48$ when I was thinking that I would end up spending around 100$. You might check your local store to see what they have on clearance.

Anyone else ran across a good deal or found an item that you just absolutely love, then I would love to hear about it. Right now I am all for comfort and saving money on the things we need to buy.

StressHead, I would so be shopping online. Have you looked on Ebay. As an avid ebay buyer and seller, most of us do ship overseas. That might be an option. With twins, it won't be long before nothing at all fits. It could be that you could buy a few maternity tanks and continue to wear some of your pregnancy shirts over them, but I definitely recommend some good maternity pants. Best purchase I have made for myself.

Maternity clothes over here are hard to find!! it's a nightmare! I got five pairs to get me through work and they were all about 35 pounds each which is about $50 I think! I'm managing with my normal tops at the moment because alot of the fashion has been smock tops so they still fit.

It's amazing the differences between the UK and the US, it astounds me :)

I must not be able to find them on Ebay because we keep them to wear even after the baby is born since they are so comfy... :)

I LOVE the secret fit belly.  I got all kinds of skirts, jeans, and dress pants for $20 or less, brand new at the Motherhood outlet.
