Order online!! Most maternity clothes are very stretchy and whatnot and it's not exactly necessary to try them on 1st.

I shop at Ross for most of my maternity needs, anywhere from bras, maternity pants to dresses. With tops, I prefer wearing long tank tops since I like to stay cool while living in Southern California. However, Ross doesnt carry nursing bras. :(

Old navy online has some decent clothes and you can find some cute summer dresses for pretty cheap...I did slurge a little bit mainly because im a little heavier so with the added baby bulk I dont want to feel like one big blob, lol. You can find some decent things on Targets clearance racks as well. Finally, I live near an outlet mall and I'll probably head up there because things tend to be a lil less expensive..happy shopping honey and I feel your pain.

Check consignment stores for kids. Most will also have a small maternity section. Also check out thrift stores.

try walmart, kmart, target, i just get stretchy pants like yoga pants and xxl shirts lol. Around here in Ohio we have this store called Clothes Mentor where they buy and sell used clothes. Maternity clothes there are pretty cheap and when ur done you can sell them back, maybe try to find something like that in your area. I wear sports bras for the girls they feel more comfortable in them

I buy non maternity clothes, longer length shirts, never owned a maternity bra, just regular sized up, flowy empire waist dresses, elastic waist skirts.  A few pairs if maternity pants are nice to have though.  But you can do the belly band and just leave pants unbuttoned (use a hair tie to secure it)

I totally get you and it *****!!! I stuck to buying a few pairs of pants for work and some work blouses at about 16 weeks and I wore that till I got disabled from work at 33 weeks... I have been wearing sport bras since my boobs got bigger and wear exercise clothes since I refuse to spend any more money  on maternity clothes..
