Maternity Clothes

[Brittny27]

My friend who had a baby last May stopped by yesterday with two big bags of Maternity clothes for me! I am so happy. I just haven't had the money to buy anything since BF isn't working still because of his broken leg. I bought two pairs of pants and am almost grown out of them already.  

She brought me a ton of shirts and 3 pairs of pants so I probably will still have to go buy a few pairs of jeans.  

Where should I go for a few pairs of pants that aren't horribly expensive?

I bought  2 pairs at Burlington and spent $8.99 a pair but the material that covers the elastic band on the waist is already ripping holes in it. I've washed them maybe 3-4 times. A couple of the pairs of pants my friend brought over also have the material on the bands ripping so I wonder if this is common for this type of pants. I really lke the thin elastic banded pants. I don't feel comfortable with the panel over my stomach.

Any suggestions would help. Thanks ladies

I hate Old Navy's pants but their tops are good. My favorite pair of jeans were $30 at Motherhood Maternity. They had the over-the-belly panel but it was thin and skin-colored so it didn't show through my tops. LOVED it.

Yeah the weather here in summer is low 100's. It's hot and sticky. I will be on the river boating most the summer like always. I have a ton of babydoll tanks I just hope there gonna be long enough otherwise I will just be wearing my cami tanks. I need to get a few pairs of capris also.

I was looking recently also and I always liked the pants with the panels over the tummy (I didn't think I would but they were a life saver when I got bigger) but since I am going to be in 100 degree weather this pregnancy then I am going to target because they have the cutest t-shirts and capris with the low soft fold down waist and tanks. I am going to buy a few pairs of flip flops and a new bathing suit and chill!

Yeah I'm into the over-the-tummy panels by now already....Sigh. I was wearing my sweatpants up practically to my armpits the other day and my husband couldn't stop laughing. didn't say a word just took one look and laughed himself silly. I told him I'll make sure and laugh when he's old and has a huge beer gut (highly unlikely for him) and wears his pants up to his pits.

I forgot about Kohls they're great for sales.

Old Navy!! they have a super awesome selection online...everything was always cheap/but comfy for me...and if something didnt fit there return policy was super easy..i could take it back to the store by me or just send it back and order a new size...their stuff is super cute too and they have a lot of different options for pants panels...but ill tell u what girl, after u get huge in the third trimester ur gonna want the kind that comes all the way over ur belly (full panel) it offers more support and u wont find ur self hiking ur pants up all day...my belly pushes my band down all the time on the elastic ones ...but im almost 38 weeks lol

The closest K-mart is alittle over an hour away. I've looked at Target both of them here and they have two racks. Everyone keeps telling me they have a great selection but two small racks is nothing.  Two types of pants and like three different shirts.

I've looked at Kohls I may have to go back and see what they have again.  I went to Sears and Motherhood last night and didn't want to spend $40-$50 on a pair of pants.
