Target, Walmart, JCpenney has some really cute maternity clothes, maternity motherhood.com, any consignment store in your area, and Ross.

I was the same size as you before I got pregnant. Don't make the mistake I did and go all out and buy tons of maternity clothes as soon as you can't button your pants anymore! I did that, and by the 6th month I couldn't even fit into any of the clothes I bought! All the shirts were way too short, and the pants were too tight under my belly!
I suggest getting a few things you need (maybe a few things for work and a few casual things) Eventually get some bigger ones once you are starting to outgrow those.
A great place to get good priced maternity clothes is "Motherhood Maternity". They usually have one in the mall. They always have a great clearance section, and right now they are switching from fall to winter clothes, so you will be able to get all of the fall stuff on sale! I think I left there with 4 complete outfits for $125.00 last time I went :)
Other places that have good priced maternity clothes are Target, K-Mart, and even thrift shops sometimes have nice stuff (because women only wear then 9 months!) you just have to search ;)
Good luck, and congrats on the little one :)

I love old navy maternity,really hip and inexpensive. I hardly shopped there before. And a wide range of sizes. And everytime I wear one of the outfits I bought there I get tons of compliments.
I've gotten some of the basics @ Target, but have had to return 2 shirts, they shrunk horribly, by more than half!!!!
Motherhood is nice but a little to old fashioned for me, and the stuff that wasn't, I wasn't willing to pay the $$.
JCpenny, has some basics, there again the $$ is a little high.
At one of the malls in my area they had this place called Mimis maternity....OMG! unless you are a size 1 and don't plan to grow larger than a size 3! and want to pay no less the 50.00 for a blouse off the clearance rack and get really bad service...don't bother.
I never once found anything @ Ross, and my god those women will mow you down to get to a piece of clothing. In my condition, I wasn't willing to get into a "christmas like" throw down with some lady over a shirt.
Second hand can be very helpful indeed, and like everyone else has said, its usually in great shape because it hasn't been worn that long, just long enough to get stretched a little and softened, so it doesn't agitate that sensitive pregnancy skin.

Motherhood is a great place to check. They are generally a little higher priced, but they usually have some great sales and clearance items. Ross is also a great place for cheap but cute. Also, if you are comfortable with used clothing...try some local stores that sell used baby stuff...like Other Mothers or even Savers. Most maternity clothing is only worn for a few months anyway, so what you find in used clothing stores is still practically new.

Wal-Mart has some, but I found some good stuff at Ross...especially in the clearance section. Also, if you don't mind second hand, you can always get some good stuff (because usually they aren't wore for very long) at Goodwill, Deseret Industries, Catholic thrift stores, etc. Good Luck!

consignment stores and good will and other thrift stores. Maternity clothes are not worn long, so are usually in really good shape second hand.
