Hi ladies, just wanted to share an experience I had with Maternity clothes. I was "striking out" at places like Old Navy and the department stores. Everything seems to be designed for the younger Moms.......you know, skin tight??!! If you have Shopko (similar to Target/Kmart/Walmart for those that aren't familiar)stores in your area, I STRUCK GOLD there. They had the BEST jeans for $17.00 a pair. I also got 4 shirts (same all in different colors) because they fit so nice. Just a bit of info for anyone that it might help. Their clothes seemed more designed for our generation.....no offense younger gals :o)

Thank you Thank you Thank you... I thought it was only me. I also found great deals at Burlington Coat Factory stores. Make sure you look on the clearance racks! (Jeans for $7.00.) Remember large sweaters, blazers and your hubbie's work shirts will fit nicely! (And, for those of us who are willing, I found some great items at my local thrift store -- for pennies on the dollar.) I also learned to accept donations from friends - that way I can spend the extra money on a sturdier crib and a matching dresser for the little one. Also, rubber bands through the b___ton hole of your pre-pregnancy pants help them last for another week or two. You can also try a loose fitting WIDE elastic belt to hold the jeans up for a while... The one thing that you do not want to skimp on though is a few new right sized bras that really support you! Though they are not as s_xy, they are more comfortable now... Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip! Actually, my most favorite pair of maternity jeans came from the clearance rack at Wal-Mart for $5.00! WOO-HOO! They are so cute, capris with a tall cuff and I love them! Now where can we find post-pregnancy clothes that make us look and feel good but don't break our bank? I don't want to resort to the "Mom" jeans just yet! Where is Shopko? I'm in Phoenix and I don't think we have that store, but it sounds great! Thanks!

Elle, I think Shopko is regional, just like Target or Walmart. But I think you can go to Shopko.com and see if there are any in Arizona at all.............good luck!!

I tried looking in Burlington Coat Factory for maternity clothes, they actually removed that section from the store. Well at least in my area they did.
