Well, I just found out I was pregnant with child #2! We are very excited… and now I need new clothes. The first time around I was stationed in Okinawa Japan, so there wasn't a seletion of maternity clothing at the exchange, and I honestly could not find a single Japanese maternity store. (that left me wondering where these poor pregnant girls shopped). Needless to say I wore alot of just oversized clothing. This time around I want to look fabulous. I have shopped around on the internet, and the nicest things i have found so far were at A pea in the pod. But in order to shop at a pea in the pod, apparently you have to have alot more money than I make. Does anyone know any good, affordable, but at the same time very nice ( not just tees, and stretch pants) sites that I could look at?

I shopped at Old Navy while I was preggers. They had the cutest and most affordable maternity clothes that I have ever seen. Especially near the end of my pregnancy when I was buying clothes weekly. I didnt mind b/c it was so affordable.

Have you tried Target? My sister and my best friend shopped there when they both were pregnant. They carry Maternity by Liz Lange. I just check the Target website and they have some cute things. It's not as cheap as Old Navy but it is cheaper than A Pea in the Pod. Oh and congrats on the new baby : )

Congrats!

Read this post I wrote about 2 months ago on the site about maternity fashion (destination maternity is the bomb and cheap)

I really suggest a comfy wrapdress in jersey from old navy… this one is a fave http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?c...;scid=508662002

get a pair of funky fun skimmers, or comfy yet pretty flats… opt for funk in animal print… your prolly can't wear heels, and this will inject some hot mama into it… it is an unexpected neutral…

http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/category.do?cid=5798, I'd really suggest a couple tops in different colors for wearing with pants.

try seeing if any plus size dresses in kimono styles will flatter you, cuz this one seems gorgeous http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?c...;scid=500852002

try adjustable waist skirts…

try to buy solids in clothes as opposed to uber memorable funky prints since you can get more wear out of the same clothes
