For those of you experienced mothers that have had the privilege of shopping for maternity clothes, you will know the frustration that I found when I went to the store the other day. For those of you who don't know, I am about to tell you how some people make their money. So, I decided to go and look for some maternity pants the other day. The belly bands have been working great, but can slide off at times, so I thought I might check out a pair of maternity pants. Yeah, right!!! Try $118.oo for one pair of pants!!! Unfortunately for me, the smaller you are, the more expensive your pants are. And the ones I could afford were all too big and would never fit me, even at 9 months along! Bummer. There's no way on this earth that I will spend that much to wear a pair of pants. So, it's back to the belly bands. I will make them work. T-shirts were just about as bad. Try $40 for a t-shirt that's made out of the same material of my regular $7 t-shirts. Sorry, but no new t-shirts for me. I will keep looking. No wonder pregnant women get frustrated with their wardrobes. =)

Where on earth did you go shopping?
Have you tried Target or Sears???
Or Old Navy or JCPenney. Did those pants work at all?
LOL. Actually I tried Motherhood Maternity first. That's where the outrageous prices were. =) But, I did try Sears and JCPenny. No luck there either for me. There prices were much better, but their clothes wouldn't fit me. Too big. But, I do plan to try Old Navy. Yes, those pants did work for me, and will come in handy, especially when I get bigger. Thanks so much KLee for letting me borrow them!
Have you tried some "regular" pant but maybe a size or two bigger than your regular size? Or some "regular" pants with elastic waist?
Kohl's also has maternity clothes.
this may help: there are two sections in motherhood maternity. The more exspensive side when you walk in is called "some name I can't remember" and then in the back is the actual "motherhood maternity" stuff which is WAY cheaper. I bought jeans there for around $30. If you can find the less exspensive stuff, that's a great store! Good luck!! Can't go wrong with target though..
I do have to say I was VERY blessed to have things given to me from my sister and other friends with both pregnancies. HOWEVER I do feel your pain....you have to get a whole new wardrobe. I am going through my things right now trying to get them ready to consign! Good luck.....TARGET has WAYYYYYYYYYY cute things
