I bought 1 pair to start with then I started buying them gently used off of ebay....most were only worn for 1 pregnancy so they were like new but didn't have that new jeans feeling.  Which to me is sooo much better!  I ended up with 8 pair and wore those my whole pregnancy.  I was sad to see them go after Matthew was born.  :(

When I checked ebay, the clothes were pretty close to the same price as in the store. I guess I just need to search more for a good deal. I checked local 2nd hand stores too and there wasn't anything that would work for me.

I did and will buy maternity clothes from Ebay. Love it and I couldn't beat the prices!

I think Old Navy has some plus size maternity available online.

Banded 03/22/06  276/261/184 (highest/surgery/lowest)

Sleeved 07/11/2013  228/165 (surgery/current) (111lbs lost)

I'll check them out. I was really liking Old Navy clothes before I got pregnant so they might fit well.

I had the same problem, I found that I just had to kind of lift my pannie up (I know, what a pleasent visual LOL) and put the line where the pants met the stretch part under it so when I sat it wasn't too bad. I also wore alot of leggings, luckly they are the "hot" item right now and you can find them just about anywhere, I just bought alot of long tops or dress type tops and wore the leggings under them.

Good luck, maternity stuff for plus sizes are hard to come by, and when you find them they rarely fit properly. They must all be desinged by skinny men! LOL

Yeah, I'm thinking jeans might not be the way to go for awhile. Maybe I'll invest in some maternity leggings. I have alot of short dresses that I can match up with leggings and I think they'll fit for quite awhile, they're all pretty stretchy and roomy.

Your pregnancy ticker is a little red X on my work computer so I can't tell how far along you are.

I bought a Bella Band (the Target one). I'm 5 months and still wear all my normal jeans with the bella band. The way things are going, I think I'll be able to continue wearing most of my jeans for at least another couple of months.

Also, the Bella Band might help enable you to wear the under the belly maternity pants. It can help hold them up.

I love my bella band and wear it several times a week.

Have you checked out Old Navy's maternity section? They've got cute stuff at reasonable prices.

I'm only 11 weeks but my belly is huge already. It was like this with my daughter too. I was 5 months along and people thought I was 8 months, so I'm not too surprised that I'm showing already. I've totally got to check out Old Navy, I didn't even know they had maternity clothes, a couple other people recommended them too.
