I looked at Motherhood Maternitys website this morning. They want $44 for jeans! I refuse to pay that for jeans. Yes I am cheap, but this is our last child and I can't go out and spend $100's of dollars.
Who has plus size jeans at reasonable prices? The two pairs I have our worn out. I got them at Sears in Denver when I was pregnant with Conner. So they went thru two pregnancys and only spent like $20 for each pair.
Suggestions for plus size clothes? I weigh about 183 right now.
Today I am going thru my maternity clothes and see how my shirts are. I know I need tee shirt type shirts. Which I get hot being pregnant so I like the 3/4 length tees.

Check out fashion Bug... the clothes there don't always last quite as well as some others, but they always have sales going on, and you can get coupons too... that is where I got most of my maternity stuff last time.

I have good luck at JC Penney's. Last time, I gained as much in my butt as I did in my belly, so I was definitely + size by the third trimester; and I found some nice, reasonably priced things there.
We have a Penney's outlet near me, which is wonderful.

Old Navy has some plus sized maternity clothes and I heard J.C. Penny's had a nice selection as well.

I looked at Old Navys website and I see plus size womens wear, but not plus size maternity. XL regular maternity is NOT going to fit me. Especially since their clothes tend to run small, just like the Gap.

Sorry :shy
I cant even fit into their plus size normal clothes. I'd just heard they had it, I apologize.

Hey, neither can I! :lol But they are GREAT for kids clothes.
I did weigh myself this morning. I braved the scale and I lost weight! Yeah! So I starting this pregnancy at 182. Not great but I am down from 199 back in March.
I have no idea how my body is going to handle this pregnancy. Whether its all going to my butt or in my stomach or what. :irked:

Not in your DDC, but I am plus sized! Woot, heh! My mom's bought me some things from Woman Within maternity. They seem to have reasonable prices, and do go up to sizes in the 30's, I think. Also places like Ebay, or the TP are good...
Old Navy's only go up to 20, which works for some, but not me (I'm 24), and Motherhood, sometimes has some good sales, I got pants there for $14 plus shipping. Just keep your eyes open.

Seconding Ebay! Lots of stuff there. I also just spotted a bunch of stuff in great condition at the Salvation Army thrift store near me. I'm annoyed to realize that Lands End no longer has maternity stuff -- grr. I lived in their stuff during my last pregnancy. Thankfully I kept most of it and am roughly the same size I was ... but yeesh!
I never did end up checking out JC Penney last time, but a very well-dressed friend of mine got a lot of her stuff there. She (something of a clothes snob) was really shocked at what they had. I think she mentioned that they didn't have as much online as they do in their catalog, but you can order the catalog online.
