I wanted to start a new thread as our bumps grow! Let's talk deals, favorite brands, etc.
For me, I prefer full panel to smooth out my bump. Motherhood Maternity at Macy's had a good selection for durable bottoms (black work pants, jeans, etc.). They held up, so this time I ordered gray work pants too.
I also liked H&M and Old Navy for less expensive stuff, tops, etc.
My most recent find was the local Ross. I got 2 shirts for work for $7.99 each and a pair of soft pants at home for $5.99. So excited!

My cousin told me today to hit up Kohls, they had a very small section but a lot was cheap. She said she got a few nursing tanks for $5 each. I don't know if it's any Kohls, but thought it was worth checking out!

I only have one pair of skinny maternity that fit me and will want some comfy pants and tops too. And none of my old maternity stuff fits because I'm starting 30lbs heavier than I was when I got pregnant with DD.

I love my Pea in the Pod full panel black work pants. They were expensive, so I only have one pair, but now I’m kicking myself for not just buying a second pair. I just ordered a couple pairs to try, but I’m afraid they just won’t be the same.
I have tons of summer clothes, but barely anything warm! I pretty much bought everything from Target’s maternity section last go ‘round. I also found that Macy’s had a decent size maternity section and much cheaper than specialty stores.

I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have found the Jessica Simpson maternity jeans. I now have 3 pairs. 🙈 but they stay up!!! No maternity jeans ever stayed up for me before.

The 3 tops I got from Motherhood came, and they are probably 1 size too big for me. However, they were all on sale ($10-$15 each) and I might get huge with the twins? Would you keep or return to size down?

Would you keep or return to size down? totally keep. Especially the last couple months it was nice to have the larger size because it was more comfortable and looked fine size wise.

I am leaning this way, especially since they are all long sleeves and all of my old mat clothes were best in summer (short sleeves)!

Tlex, where did you get Jessica simpson pants?? Well I’ve been snapping them up at my thrift store lol but I think it’s Motherhood Maternity that sells them. I’ve just been getting this very basic darkwash skinny (but not ankle hugging skinny) pair.

I’m struggling with finding tops! I have 2 pairs of jeans, but only 1 top. Where do y’all recommend for shirts? I’ve looked for some on Amazon, but I’m hesitant to buy those because I can’t try them on. I don’t have any maternity stores where I live so I have to travel for everything.

I bought a ton of stuff from Old Navy last time, and this time from Kohls online, then surprisingly all but one item worked. I also bought a box from a mom in a fb sales group last time, and my bestie just gave me all her stuff (she's a size bigger than me normally, but she just showed up last weekend with it all and said, because twins. LOL) I also have been living in dresses and tunics with leggings. I can only wear jeans on Fridays to work. plus I found pants/jeans get more and more uncomfortable to me as I get bigger.

I’m very happy with the gap maternity basic longsleeve tees I just got. They are LONG even for maternity shirts, and I have a long torso/big boobs so when you add in a belly, it matters. They are so long I wouldn’t Rec them for someone short waisted though, unless you wanted them to be more of a tunic over leggings!

orangehibiscus Most department stores have maternity sections. I am comfortable shopping online so I have done mostly that in addition to buying off craiglist postings. I did go shopping at motherhood maternity with my sister in law when she was pregnant last fall. The store had tons of stuff and they were very helpful. SIL is plus size though and the plus size section at that particular store was soo small it disappointed me. I also second getting maxi skirts or dresses. It is the most comfortable thing to wear towards the end. I will still be trying to wear them even though it will still be snowing here when I am super pregnant.

Thanks for the advice. So...I really really don’t like dresses. It will start snowing soon, so I couldn’t wear dresses anyways. I’ll look up ON, Kohl’s, and other stores online and see if they have anything good.

I am a size L/XL depending on brand, and I like Old Navy, H&M, Motherhood Maternity, and some luck at local stores like Ross/TJ Maxx. The first 3 I've ordered online, but I have stores near me if I need to return. ETA my local Macy's had a Destination Motherhood inside, and I was able to try a lot on. Decent prices, like $30 for work pants and jeans.

PSA Old Navy:
So I browsed ON online this morning and found some tops I think I will order. They have free shipping for orders over $50, and 30% off your entire order with code GIVETHANKS. I can always take things back to the store if I don’t like them or they don’t fit.

If anyone has a Burlington near them, I was in last week and they had some basic long sleeved maternity shirts for relatively cheap - like $5-8 a piece. I know every Burlington is different, but I was surprised by the selection.

I just bought two pairs of pull-on jeans from Target (Ingrid & Isabel, technically they are for post-partum) - they are so comfortable!! I'm not ready for full panel pants yet but I'm totally over buttons.
