I'm Currently Feeling: | Plus-Size and Pregnant? Any other ladies here that are plus size? I am going NUTSO looking for maternity plus size clothing that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! It's like they haven't figured out that fat girls have sex, lol. The only site I've seen that is SEMI-reasonable is motherhood.com, and only their sale stuff is well priced. Anyone have any other places they go? |

They're based in Canada though, and I'm not sure if they ship out of country if you don't live there.
Check EBay too... you can find anything on there XD |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I am not plus size I actually have the exact OPPSITE problem. I am about 100 pounds (45 kilo) and can't find a darn thing to fit lil old me. So I KNOW the frustration. Anyways.. I am a HUGE ebay shopper. I have gotten over 25 items on there and have not been dissapointed one bit. Try that... ALSO I am not sure where you are located but in the US you can get some at Old Navy.com. Good luck hun!!!! |

Ive been buying normal clothes at larger sizes in places like Matalan/Tesco etc even things like nice black trousers but those with elastic weist and larger wool jumpers as its freezing now.
Hope that helps x |

| i am a plus size, im an 18/20. I have got most of my mat clothes from ebay if im honest lol i didnt want to spend to much on them.
Be prepared for people to say to you near teh end 'wow isnt your bump big, got a big baby in there!' ignore them!!! lol really annoys me, its coz your a plus size to start with so to everyone else it will look like your bump is huge

I'm Currently Feeling: | Ive only got 2 pairs of materity trousers - the rest I just got in bigger sizes Primark too because I only want them to lounge about in them so I can just throw them away or not feel guilty for spending £20+ on a pair of trousers I wont wear much more.

I'm Currently Feeling: | As I'm still a student I get discount from Dorothy Perkins so I get my mat trousers out of there and also just got some longer than normal tops so when I get bigger it will cover the bump. I'm having trouble finding a coat that will expand at the moment though, I don't have a winter one and it's quite cold now  |
