I know this has been asked 1047 times but I’m so beyond frustrated at this point. I CANNOT find cute maternity clothes. I’ve looked at pink blush, seraphine, H&M, all department stores, asos, target. Literally everywhere. HELP. I need clothes that aren’t just sweatpants that I can wear possibly to work and out of my house.

I just buy regular clothes I like and go a size or 2 up. I of course get more loose fitting or flowing tops and items, including dresses, with stretchy material. Someone mentioned Calvin Klein. I had a CK suit dress I was able to wear most of my pregnancy and after. Just pay attention to how restricting/forgiving the items feel around your belly. I really don't get uncomfortably huge until about month 8 maybe starting mid-month 7. At that point I was wearing cheap old navy clothes a size or 2 up - not maternity wear. It was way more about comfort than style then. I'm 5 months pregnant with baby 3 and it's still been easy to conceal my belly (once went for interviews/started a new job at 7 months pregnant and they didn't know until I told them). It's easier in non-maternity wear if that's something you want or need to do.

My best luck has been with wrap or maxi dresses - not even maternity specific clothes. Especially knowing I’ll be hella pregnant during the summer. But I imagine if I invested in new clothes, I’d get nursing friendly dresses that I could also wear postpartum

Also I was just at target and they had some cute affordable outfits!

Yeah you can keep them as long as you want and only change the ones you don’t want to keep anymore. And you can buy it if you want too in case you find something that you really like.

Lower your standards. Buy some cheap things from target, old navy and gap. It doesn’t have to be your most fashionable moment of life.

What are you looking for exactly? The most stylish + good quality clothes I’ve seen is Seraphine maternity and Isabella Oliver (for work). I bought a lot of my clothes from Poshmark/Mercari - it requires a little digging but there are good stuff to be found there

Maybe try Hatch. I found that cute maternity clothes were so expensive it wasn’t worth the investment and I just gave into an all black wardrobe for a while. Rent the runway is great for the first half though.

I’ve been having luck with my regular stores, and just finding things that are stretchy, especially dresses. Look for cotton dresses and pants at Loft, Anthropologie, and Old Navy. You might have to go up a size, but it’s been better than the not-so-attractive things sold as maternity clothing.

I'm surprised you weren't happy with Pink Blush, I have tons from there and love all of it! Including their work clothes, sundresses, and lounge wear. Any specific problems with them?

So most regular clothes in a couple of sizes bigger fit me until the third trimester. And I dint have the budget to spend on cute things just for those 3 months. But having something that fits, is comfortable is so important to feel good in those three months cuz everything is hard anyway. So I've been shopping on thredUp. So I get a few diff brands to try and I'm not spending a lot either. Try it? Hopefully you find things that are season appropriate as well. Good luck

I recently ordered from Shein. But yea no local brick abs mortar stores had anything for me. I got upset one day there were like 4 baby stores and I was like well how did the baby get here what’s the mom suppose to wear?????

Asos, missguided, sometimes gap

Sproutcollection!! Might be Canadian only

I like Storq—bought a cute leopard pencil stretch skirt from them if that’s more your style? They’re a small business so they don’t have a ton of options but they shipped super fast and felt good to shop small!

A combination of HATCH and Gap maternity worked pretty well for me. There’s also a fair amount of Aritzia dresses that work great for maternity (and work).
