Target Maternity

[stephlove]

Do you find the maternity pants at Target to run small, big, or true to size?

I'm getting to the point that I'm in desperate need of maternity pants. Like, this weekend I completely popped or something because the pants I wore last week aren't cutting it. I've dropped down a pant size since getting pregnant, but the waist on my pants are now too constricting. There's a Target 20 miles away, so I'm wondering if it will be worth a trip to see what I can find. I'd probably need an XXL in pants, if they run large. Otherwise, I'll have to order online.

Liz Lange was pretty true to size for me. I really liked the H&M maternity pants, they run and little small.

ETA: I just realized these only go up to a 14. I ordered the same pair last year in a 16 and they fit like a 14.

If you're in an XXL, I'd probably try Old Navy before Target.

I'd have to order online for Old Navy. The closest one with a maternity section is 2 hours away. :-(

I'm thinking I'm just going to have to deal with a week of unbearable pants. I should have prepared better for this lol.

I find that my target has a really limited selection on Maternity clothes. Every time I look I don't even bother to try anything on since it's barely worth looking at. Sorry, I can't speak to the size but I feel like Old Navy's run large along with gap so maybe try them.

I used a belly band in the early days and wore my pants unbuttoned.

I tried the belly band. Because most of my pants are higher-rised and because I wear a lot of fitted shirts, you can totally tell that my pants are not buttoned. 

And they roll down like crazy on me. Blahhhh.

I want to think small, but I think more TTS. I only say that b/c I gained a lotta weight with both pregnancies and was in denial about how big I was and how much I gained.

[eav2c]

Mostly TTS. I have two local targets and one has a great maternity section and the other leaves a lot to be desired. I think it would be worth the drive but I am a sucker for target.

[stacyb1983]

I was heavier with my first pregnancy, I bought most of my pants from Old Navy and Kohls.

Threadup sells maternity clothes. They carry a lot of Old Navy.

Well, target was a bust.

While I have lost weight, my ass is still the size of a bus. Luckily, I was able to grab some tunics that I can wear this week with my leggings until I can get some pants shipped to me.

A week a wearing leggings to the office isn't so bad under dire circumstances, right?

Old Navy doesn't really stock XXL in store:(

I am a 2X, so I just ordered online from Motherhood and JCP. I liked the pants I got from both. Both are pretty TTS or even run a shade big.

Where do you find your sweater dresses?

I bought leggings from Target in my size, but they get super stretchy really fast and look like baggy elephant skin by the end of the day.
