Maternity clothes.....

[BbyV]

Hi ladies.... Im going shopping later this week and am seeking suggestions. I want to buy a few pregnancy essentials as far as clothing, shoes and accessories to get me through my pregnancy. What do you recommend? Stores? Belly bands? (Not even sure what that is) And so on...

I know I could just wear leggings but I don't want to. I want to wear jeans and dresses and skirts.  I'd like to actually be able to get dressed. My partner and I go out a lot. Dinner, dancing, movies...

Thanks for any help!

Old navy is where I got my maternity jeans xD I love them I just recommend to get ones that are lose at your ankles it makes them easier to pull off the bigger you get lol they also have shirts

Look online to see what stores might have for skirts. Most maternity stores have belly bands but I got mine from a friend. I did the ponytail trick for a while but I for too big that I have to use belly bands and soon I will have to just get more maternity pants.

I love shopping at thrift stores.  I have found great items for all less than $10 a peice. I work at a law firm so i need dress pants and skirts etc.  I am not willing to pay $50 for a pair of pants i will only wear for a few months essentially! I also dont like wearing my office wear at night or on the weekend so i needed jeans etc for after hours wear.  I like dresses and skirts when pregnant. Especially in the summer when it is so hot.

I agree on not going to motherhood maternity. Spent 160 on a bra, a pair of pants and 4 shirts. Everything except 2 shirts, and the bra have holes in them.

Target has been my friend for jeans. I live my maternity jeans and cargos. Target had good prices. Since these clothes are pretty much temporary..

They have a couple at the moment,there is a dark blue one and a grey one. All their clothes are extremely comfortable and very breathable. I bought both they're cuter on than in the pictures. They're on sale for $10 and once you get to the site they have a discount code for %30 off your purchase as well. May have to read the terms on that, it's just what I saw at a glance.

Does gap have a good selection for bottoms? I really want some skirts.

Thank you ash!

I'll also mention most of their clearance is %75 off and doing gap cash $20 back for ever $50 spent I believe. Not sure when it is ending but, worth a look!! Good luck to you (:

Belly bands are ok but I just use a rubber band on my tighter pants (: you can buy them an any maternity store

I always suggest gap for maternity clothes. I shop the clearance rack and literally got 15 different tops for $40 I was getting some for $2:P I have a whole new wardrobe of maternity clothes, kept an eye out for sales after my first because I knew at some point we would have a second, and I probably spent $100. I don't like the pea in the pod or motherhood maternity because their clothes are cheaply made and got holes after a couple wears, way too expensive for that quality.

Where do you get belly bands at?

[shelbalou]

I don't usually shop at old navy but I bought some maternity clothes there and they fit more comfortably than anywhere I got maternity clothes and they're super cute. I got 2 belly bands so I can wear jeans without having to button them up (they cover up the button and zipper so you can wear your old jeans/dress pants when you start getting bigger) and I would suggest getting a pair of maternity pants to see how you like them and a few shirts and tank tops to go underneath

OK. Awesome. Thank you ladies.

I have gotten all of my maternity clothes at Kohls and Target! Kohls doesnt have the biggest selection but all of their jeans and tops are cute :) Marshalls and Ross also carry maternity clothes if you're on a budget, I get a lot of shirts there.

Up until I was probably 18 weeks I had to start sizing up in my regular clothes. I wore a jersey dress and that was comfy and very pretty. I had to have all the clothes because I work. I sized up in regular clothes but wore loose clothes, nothing fitted. I wore high waist skirts but they were stretchy, wore cardigans with them. At 20 weeks I had to start wearing maternity leggings sadly. Basically all I wore cause it was winter time. Bought a few maternity blouses. I'm 37 weeks now and my maternity blouses are my go to clothing because at this point I need something comfortable! I went to Burlington for maternity clothes and old navy. Good luck with your shopping! Hope you have a better time than I did!
