Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

i am only about 5 weeks. but since i am a crazy person, i need to prepare in advance . what stores do you shop in? i work in a hospital in an administrative department. i don't have to get that dressed up, black pants and a decent shirt is fine. i will wear anything that looks neat on the weekends, lol

i cannot spend a lot of money though. can i sign up for coupons for maternity stores?

thank you ladies. hopefully i wont' be annoying and have too many questions.

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

i liked h&m, target and destination maternity

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

so far Motherhood Maternity, old navy and target

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

For me, motherhood maternity and destination maternity are the best for work pants. They never have coupons though. You can sometimes get lucky if you go to the outlet and they are having sales.

I do not fit into Old Navy maternity pants, but a lot of women like them a lot.

For jeans, I prefer Liz Lange from Target and OhBaby from Kohl's.

For shirts, Kohl's, Target and Old Navy. Most of the time though, I just buy non-maternity shirts the next size up (so I am able to wear them after the baby came). I prefer my clothes form-fitting so that works best for me.

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Kohls

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

the vast majority of my stuff is from the Gap. I've not been a fan of Destination Maternity but I have found some great stuff at Target (Liz Lange).

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Target & Old Navy

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

target, old navy, h&m for regular stuff

and jcp and kohls for work pants (i prefer the ones from jcp).

im actually still not wearing most of my maternity stuff....and for dresses i got reg stuff in my reg size that was more aline/empire.

to save $ - try the bella band. and for me...ive just been wearing non-maternity leggings and long shirts/tunics/sweaters.

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

I got nice black pants from Target and a few others from Motherhood Maternity.

I would recommend getting a size up from what you think you need (if you wear a 6/small, get a size 8-10/medium) because I didn't account for the fact that I would not be one of the lucky ones who is 'all belly' and my fat a$$ is growing out of my maternity pants at 6 months along.

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

JCPenney! Cheap and fit great! I bought 4 pairs of pants there on sale for $13 each...shirts this past weekend were buy one get one free! They always have sales!

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Pea in a Pod, Motherhood Maternity (those two are one in many areas under the name Destination Maternity), Target, Old Navy, Gap.

My favorite (or better, the best of the worst) is Gap Maternity. At 32 1/2 weeks, my ON shirts and Motherhood shirts are too short. The Gap ones are the only ones that fit. Same with Target. I love that I can go on the clearance rack.

You can get dressier stuff at all of these places if you look!

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

I have stuff from Target, JC Penney, Kohls and Motherhood.

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

I shop at Target, Kohls, Motherhood and Macys.. I have to admit I got alot of my stuff second hand so I didnt have to buy much

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Gap is my favorite. I also like Old Navy and have gotten a few great pieces from Target. Pea in a Pod, Motherhood, etc. are and never have coupons (Gap and Old Navy have great coupons all the time) and although I got some great work pants, all my work shirts from there needed to be dry cleaned and ironed, etc. I would not recommend tops from there, but the pants are good and come out of the dryer nice and wearable and unwrinkled. I also second the bella band or some kind of band - I had the be band from Target - it let me wear my regular pants a little longer and held up my maternity pants once I made the switch when they were still too big.

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

I just started to buy at 18 weeks.
target i got pants for 35
jcpennys I got pants for 11!!
check out jcp they dont have a large selection but great prices.
i know my sis shops at old navy and i got a few things from old navy as gifts

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

I lucked out & my mom, and MIL, and other family members went nuts & bought me a ton of stuff. Maybe you will get lucky too. My mom got a ton of things at really good prices at Kohl's. My aunt said Macy's had a small selection but some good stuff. I was able to stay in most of my clothes for a good amount of time. I am still wearing pre pregnancy sweat pants, and some shirts. Now at 18 weeks some of my shirts are just too short. Target has a decent selection too.

Old navy too I bought a ton of stuff for $5 shirts, etc.. They were having crazy sales. I don't even think the stuff was maternity but it was so long and big.

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Don't get me started.
I have to buy ALL pants online because nobody sells LONGS in the store.
And even then the pickings are Slim for work pants.

I found a pair at Gap online and a pair of jeans at Old navy online.

I am not wearing them yet- but I have them ready.

I have no patinence for this. My wardrobe is so extensive I have no clue what I am going to do when I can't wear it anymore and have to start all over....

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

I love the Gap. This week they have cords for like $20 and some shirts for $13. Everything that was on sale was an additional 25% off. Not everything was on sale of course. The store is so much cheaper than ordering online. The same stuff I bought was listed online for almost 50% more.

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Gap and Old Navy online
Motherhood Maternity
Target

Re: Where do you shop for maternity clothes?

Shirts and jeans, H&M, Target, old navy, Motherhood, Gap.
