Where do you like to buy maternity clothes

Since I am working from home, plus my office was casual anyway my maternity 'wardrobe' is all tee-shirts, larger size stretch pants, sweatpants shorts...well you get the idea. I do have a pair of maternity jeans, capri jeans and capri overalls. But mainly---blah!!!! Claud was kind enough to lend me a few of her things, w hich are not made of denim or sweatpants but I need a few cute outfits. Suggestions on where to shop?

I buy the majority of my clothes at Mimi Maternity in the Walt Whitman Mall, and the rest is from a Pea in the Pod.
Oh, and I also have a few tee shirts from Motherhood, although most of their stuff is not my style.
Happy shopping!

Michele - my SIL swears by Target. She was spending so much on maternity clothes till she found Target for the basics!

Good Luck!

Some of my stuff was from Motherhood, alot was from Sears and Target. While I just loved the stuff at Pea in a Pod, it was too rich for my blood.

I bought a mainly at Motherhood, I thought their stuff was very cute and very reasonable. I also got a few tops at Sears and Target (Claud - I guess great minds think alike )

Michele there is a great maternity outlet in Riverhead They carry a whole bunch of maternity lines for a lot cheaper Also Target has the Liz Lange line which has some great stuff. I also got stuff online at

Maternity Mall

My friend gets a lot of her stuff from Old Nvy--they now sell in the stores and it is very affordable and very cute. She is also a Target Girl!!

I had the GREATEST experience this weekend at Pumpkin Maternity on Broome Street in NYC.

I had been to the mall the day before and just got so upset. Clearly nothing I have in my closet fits, so I had gone through and 'stored' the stuff away that just doesn’t work, leaving me with like 5 things total. Not good as I have to go to the office every day!! So I headed out and figured…I’ll just buy some casual stuff at Abercrombie, and maybe some clothes 1 or 2 sizes larger than my regular at BCBG or something – 'I am NOT going to maternity stores!!!'

Well I think you all know how this goes. The sizes that are bigger are bigger everywhere. Not just the waist! I was swimming in pants and stuff was falling off my shoulders. It was so upsetting. And even in THOSE sizes, I couldn’t button the pants, and nobody at the stores knew what I was talking about when I was trying to express that my belly was going to grow but I don’t know how much – or where exactly – will it grow out? Will it grow down? I ended up leaving in tears (after buying my new big size bras at Gap Body and a pair of pajamas because I deserved it!)

Then I went to Mimi Maternity and was horrified at the selection – everything was on the floor – and everything felt like rubber or something. Flammable! On to Pea in the Pod which would have worked out but again, I just couldn’t 'get into it'.

Next day I went to Pumpkin. What a GREAT experience. The prices were the same as Pea in the Pod – I spent a fortune but feel SO much better. I got jeans, and two pair of black pants, a pair of khaki capri pants, a cute peasant top, a great light weight corduroy skirt and a black pencil skirt. Again – it cost a lot, but the things will take me almost all the way through. The sales woman was SO helpful, and they had a bathroom in there! Perfect! Anyway, I’ll go back for some sweater basics in a few weeks when the Fall line comes in. It was really worth the trip and the extra $ to have some things in my closet that I know look decent. I also bought a bunch of 'tent' shirts on sale at Banana. You’d be surprised how much the 'maternity look' is in!!!
