Okay, I am 15 weeks pregnant and can only fit into one pair of my old pants. I don't fully feel comfortable in sweats, and those maternity jeans are just OMG-ewe. I am excited to be expecting, just a little self-consious. Almost not feeling comfortable in my own skin. So I'd like to find clothes that don't enhance the bulge just yet. I need more time to deal with being uncomfortable. Please help.

I'm LOLing at your comment about maternity jeans :) Here's a great tip, you can wear low rise or ultra low rise jeans throughout your pregnancy, just wear your jeans super low (below your belly) and wear a belly band. My sister gave me this tip and although she never bought a belly band (they cost over 20 bucks at some places), she just wore a dark summer tube top around her waist-- no one could tell the difference.
I've bought a lot of cute flowy and 'poofy' tops at TJ Maxx. They have a great selection of summery tops, and you can pick out autumn/winter tops in larger sizes that should fit you throughout your second and third trimester. HTH!!

I found a cute pair of maternity jeans at Kmart. They don't look like maternity pants. They have a button and zipper, they have elastic in the back and button on the side that adjust to your growing belly. You can hardly tell they are maternity pants. They make maternity clothes so fashionable now. It almost makes me wish I was pregnant again (almost), I shopped at a used clothing store, and on eBay and found some great deals. Another store that I liked was called Motherhood, it was in our local mall. They might have a website, I'm not sure. Certain dresses might help hide the bump for a while, I know everyone's taste in clothing is different, but I liked denim jumpers when I was pregnant. Good luck with your pregnancy.

I got my first set of maternity clothes at www.motherhood.com. Since I'm on a budget, I bought everything from the sale section. There were lots of cute tops, and I even got a pant and shirt set for $20! In total, I spent $50 for 3 shirts and that set. Well worth it. Too bad I still had to pay shipping and handling. While they do sell Motherhood at certain stores, I found that the sales online and the ones at the store aren't always the same. Good luck!

You can get cute maternity clothes just about anywhere...Target, Wal-mart, Burlington Coat Factory has really cute clothes..Not all maternity jeans are horrible though..They make them with small stretchy bands now instead of the whole front panel type..You can also find them with it just in front and normal in the back or some look like regular jeans..Trust me it`s not all that bad..Good Luck and Congrats!!

Motherhood Maternity! I got the cutest jeans and they were only $24.99, if you shop at Gap , youll be paying atleast $65 or more for a pair of jeans. Ridiculous! Congrats!

With tops it is very easy today because the style is "frumpy curtain tops" Well, at least that is what I have been seeing lately, I am 16 weeks pregnant and I went to buy some tops and Goody's was full of them (they weren't even maternity, but they looked and fit like it! so why not!)

HAND ME DOWNS! I only had one pair of pants around 14-15 weeks, and then BOOM the button poped right off those and left me feeling fat and naked. Luckily I asked my friends, neighbors, and thriftstores and got bags and bags of maternity clothes free!! :)
