I’ve been pregnant for the better part of 6 years with two different jobs and during different seasons. I can honestly say that I don’t always hate shopping, but what I do not like is spending money on clothing that I will not wear for very long. Especially since I know baby #5 is it for us, I really didn’t want to spend tons of $$ on clothes I would only wear for a few months…well, potentially next summer too if I can’t lose the baby weight which is a pretty strong reality. When I was pregnant for the first time it was kind of fun to go to Motherhood Maternity and buy the cute things on Zulilly but that faded quickly as the price, as well as my number of kids, added up. I was also surprised at the LACK of maternity sections in Kohl’s and JCPenny. Target has always been, and will most likely stay, my go-to for anything I could ever want/need. Our bond is deep. About a month ago I walked through the maternity sale section and scored a pair of pants for $6.48! Even when they are not on clearance, Target jeans are a super affordable staple for your maternity wardrobe! I’ve also recently had really good success with maternity clothes form Old Navy! I took advantage of a 40% off sale they had going on a few weeks ago and scored 7 items for around $80! This included 3 pairs of shorts, 2 t-shirts AND 2 dresses including this one, here. I’ve gotten so much use out of them in the last few weeks and know they will continue to hold up through my transition out of pregnancy! Lastly, although I haven’t ordered from here during this pregnancy yet, 2 babies ago I ordered a few things from H&M that were instant staples in my maternity wardrobe. Their jeans are super comfortable and the shirts were perfect for my growing belly. These below even come in a two pack for $13! Um, yes please! What is your go-to shop for maternity clothes??

I also hate spending $ on things I can't wear for long. I found that regular maxi dresses work just fine for accommodating pregnant belly, and then they can be worn after too. I have managed 2 pregnancies with only 2 shirts and 4 pants that are true maternity clothes. 😀

That is so impressive! I haven't always been a fan of maxi dresses but I've loved the maternity one I got this time around so I can totally see myself getting more postpartum!

I love Target and Old Navy for Maternity clothes. Since I wear scrubs to work most of my maternity wear is yoga pants and comfortable clothes. The Gap also has a great selection..GapFit brand and super comfortable to workout in.

I haven't tried the GapFit brand! Do you find it is good postpartum, too?
