plus size and pregnant !

[Whitesoxfan41]

According to google as well (LOL) that's 14lbs here in the states. Totally not that much weight, but I get being as short as you are there there's not a lot of places for it to go. I'm 5'7 and a 1/2" so it's easier to hide the extra. I think my BMI is 32 though, so I really have some work to do after this pregnancy.

Hi ladies. Been awhile since i posted in here. Hope everyone's doing well. I looked over the last few pages and there are some really cute bumps out there. Mine still just looks like I'm fat, but it's getting there. I kind off have more of a B shaped belly so I'm waiting for it to round out as baby moves up. I haven't taken any bump photos yet. We found out yesterday our baby is a girl and couldn't be happier. My bmi is 42, but so far, despite being overweight, everything seems to be going just fine.

So glad everything is going well Panda!!

I know there was discussion before about finding maternity clothes. I went to the mall this past weekend (it's a pretty big mall) and was only able to find one store with plus size maternity clothes and they only had 2 racks. Out of those two racks, I was able to get 4 pairs of pants and 8 shirts! Unfortunately, Old Navy, JCPenny, Kohl's, or Macy's didn't have plus size maternity in the store. Macy's had a "Motherhood maternity" section, but no plus size. So, for those of you looking that have a Sears near you, that would be a good place to check!

That's a great find to get 4 pants and 8 shirts in one swoop! I'm going to have to find out if we have a Sears at our mall (We haven't lived here long! LOL). I'm getting to that point that I only have 10 or so weeks left, am sick of what I have but don't want to spend much on something to wear for a short time. A lot of what I bought can be worn after as well and doesn't look blatantly maternity, although I don't think I'd want the shirts clinging to my belly after the baby has exited.

I plan to order a few from old navy online. They have free returns and right now they have an online discount of at least 30% if you enter "EARLYGIFT" as a promo code. Free shipping if it's over $50. I am able to buy 5 shirts for a tad over $50, so that's not bad at all!

I was able to get all 12 items at SEARS for about $240.

Sears had nothing that fit me, but I had some luck w/ Old Navy online. I ordered a jersey dress, 3 long sleeve shirts, 2 tanks and 1 waffle sweater-type top, for $53. More than I like to spend, but not a bad deal!! I got all XXL, but the waffle-knit top is a bit big in the belly still. Everything else fits perfectly and is so comfy! Definitely recommend their long sleeve tops for winter. I got them for about $10-12 each (then had 35% off). They hold shape well!!

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

I've heard good things about Old Navy maternity. . .my winter coat I found at a resale shop is old Navy XXL, just a wool, swing type coat with one toggle. It's roomy and comfy.

 

[tryn4]

Old navy definatly a staple. I was in there the other day, got some long sleeve tees for $6...just xxl not maternity or plus, which they only sell online in Canada anyway. I doubt I will ever bother to buy mat clothes. I will just wear regular until my belly is catching a breeze

I'm surprised to hear that. I ordered some XXL at Old Navy also, but Sears had up to 3x in the store here (I bought 2x in almost everything except I bought 3x in some of the 100% cotton tops).

Yeah I went to two different ones and they only went up to XL. Oh well. Kohls has some stuff online right now that is sized the same as Motherhood Maternity (I believe it's actually a line based off their store). The selection is small, but there are a few things. I am debating another pair of work pants. I've been rotating 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of business pants and 2 pairs of leggings for a couple of months now... lol.
