I am now in my 18th week of pregnancy. I am normally a size 16 or 18 in clothes and am having a hard time finding maternity clothes that actually fit me! Most XL maternity clothes just fit me now with little room to spare, so they definitely wouldn't last much longer into my pregnancy! Does anyone know of any good stores or websites to find plus size maternity clothes at a reasonable price? Thanks!

I am the same size - I wear size 18. I found good clothes at Motherhood maternaty, Lane Bryant, and Old Navy. I also found some at Other Mothers (a nicer thrift store for maternaty and baby stuff) Hopes this helps you.

Target has good maternity clothes and they carry plus sizes in the bottoms. The tops only go up to an XXL I believe. I gained a lot of weight right before my pregnancy so I was at a size 12 when I started. Lane Bryant also carries maternity clothes. Congratulations!

I was a 16-18 before pregnancy too and I was pregnant with twins! So I understand. I bought most of my materinty clothes at a Kohl's department store. Their XL stuff fit me just fine. They also have an online shopping space and the clothes are reasonable....and they were cute! Motherhood stores carry some plus size stuff...but only in certain stores. The other thing I did, especially toward the end of my pregnancy is bought shirts in the women's plus size departments in stores, that worked well too. As did buying mens jersey type shorts and XXL t-shirts for when I wanted to be comfy.

Try Simply Be. I'm normally about an 18 on my bottom half, but my boobs are MASSIVE which means i need a 22+ on the top. They've since got a bit bigger too, so with added room for baby bump I'm wearing size 24-26 tops now. Simply Be are quite cheap anyway, their maternity stuff is nice although slightly limited. But they're sale stuff on the website can be dirt cheap. Check them out anyways :) Other than that hun, I really don't know. I feel for you thou, all the maternity shops I've been in don't do clothes and especially bras to fit me, and although I am big, I'm not huge. I'm only above average. Maybe they don't expect us big girls to be able to find a man, never mind get pregnant huh? :)

some of the clothes at old navy are sized bigger, but most of the pants are the low belly type, not the best when you are plus sized. Target has some XXL maternity clothes, they work ok for me. I have had a real hard time with pants tho, and I have alot of ugly things from my last pregnancy that I have to put up with...

Go to fashion bug, shop their clearance racks. I just got 5 pairs of pants, 2 shirts and 4 bras for 100 bucks. Just buy sizes that are bigger and still fit enough so they don't fall off. Try them on, some have draw string waist too which you can just tie tighter and then loosen up as you get bigger. With clearance prices you can't beat it anywhere, but getting it free. I have even checked walmart for cheaper prices and they can't compete.
