Plus size mommies to be...come in!
So it 18.5 weeks I think I am ready to start getting some maternity clothes. The bella band is still working but I want to be more comfortable. I have been looking online and so far the places I have looked that have plus maternity are JC Penny, Motherhood Maternity, Old Navy and Destination Maternity. Am I missing anything? Also what store can I walk into to try on? I am pretty sure Old Navy and JC Penny are online only.

I've found what you've found, but am happy with my Motherhood purchases as well as long sleeve tshirts from JCPenney-love those!

Motherhood, Old Navy has some larger sizes.
I also did some shopping at Fashion Bug since they def. carry larger sizes in more fashionable clothing.
I was able to get quite a few shirts that allow some belly room but don't look like maternity clothes so I'll be able to wear it after baby is here too. Not to mention I ALWAYS have a coupon so I got some great deals!

I did the majority of my maternity shopping at Motherhood and found alot of tops that I liked there. I also got a few basic things at Sears (tanks, tshirts, some pants)

I am upstate, so not sure if it will be the same where you are, but here Macy*s carries the Motherhood maternity line in plus size in the store - at least they did during my 1st PG, I haven't gone clothes shopping yet this time.

Re: Plus size mommies to be...come in!
I shopped at Motherhood and JCPenney and loved everything I purchased. The sizes of the plus size maternity coordinate pretty well to whatever size you are wearing now. The one thing I learned after buying a few different types of pants is that I preferred the full panel pants....they were more comfortable to wear than the pants that went under your belly. Good luck and happy shopping!!

I agree with this too. I bought a lot from Old Navy and didn't have any problems with the sizing.

Re: Plus size mommies to be...come in!
I just went to the Destination Maternity on 110 today. There's a small "plus" section towards the back of the store. Had some long sleeve stuff on sale, so that was good. Also, had plus belly-band, tights and pantyhose, which I was desperate for. So, not a great selection, but enough to get started. And they did have dressing rooms so you can try stuff on.

Re: Plus size mommies to be...come in!
Yep that's about all there is. I was always happy with JCP stuff. I would order a ton, try it on and then return it to the store.
Motherhood has a small section usually and there stuff is decent too.
Old Navy's plus size online is VERY limited.
