OK so the matter of pants that fit is getting harder and harder. My selection is down to 3 pair that are work appropriate. I was going to head out to the mall this weekend any my options are:
Bon Ton
Sears
Kohl's
JC Penney
Motherhood

to get a few pairs of maternity pants and bras. I HATE to shop for clothes - any imput as to which has the best selection at reasonable prices?

Also - should I just get a bigger sized bra or am I better off switching to a maternity bra?

Thanks ladies!

I say Kohl's, Motherhood or JCP... Kohl's is always having a sale - usually 30%-40% and I know JCP is having a door buster sale tomorrow morning from 8-1pm.

I got a ton of cute stuff at JCP for 2.97 each last summer!!  I loved their clothes.  I also bought a lot of my shirts in the juniors department at Kohls, because the style allowed room for baby bellys (not that I ever got one).  I have never found maternity clothes at Sears, ours doesn't carry that sort of stuff.  Motherhood has good stuff.

I went to nursing bras pretty fast and they were the most comfortable bra I ever owned!! However, I got them at Mervyns and they are no longer around.  I got a playtex one that came in a box.  Fabulous bra.

I already bought 2 bras from Motherhood and a few shirt. I went even cheaper I guess and went to goodwill for some other things. I did not want to spend much on clothes I wont wear long. I will need a few more bras soon though cause these are a little small already!! Thats about all I know so far!! Good luck!

Go to Motherhood and buy at least one pair of the secret belly pants/jeans.   You will not want to wear anything else. 

My new thing right now is the maxi dress.   I actually just bought one at JC Penney in the regular department and went a few sizes up.  The rest of my shopping I do online.  I'm a clothing *****  Destinationmaternity.com is a site I shop on regularly.   

As far as the bras, buy a cheap one whatever you do because you will be changing sizes throughout the entire pregnancy.   When I was pregnant with the twins, I went from a 34 C (sometimes D) to a 38 DD.   If your cup size is good, buy a bra extender.

I agree with Julie - I got 2 pairs of secret belly capris and 1 pair of secret belly jeans from motherhood and LIVE in them. They are so comfy!

I'm tall 5'9 - 5'10, I had great luck at Sears for maternity pants.  Also, I got alot of stuff at JC Penny for $3 or $4 last year.  My local JCP is having a door buster sale with 15% off most everything tomorrow morning, you might want to check into it.

Happy shopping!
