At 22w, I feel like I am starting to outgrow some of my smaller maternity clothes already (!!) so I'm on the hunt for a few new pieces. I just ordered this dress from H&M:
which I am hopeful for. I need more work clothes! I bought some blue striped side snap onesies and footed pants for DS to round out the order for free shipping, I think those are the first things I've actually bought him.
Super soft and stretchy and I think they will be good postpartum because they don't have the pleating on the sides that screams HI I'M A MATERNITY SHIRT!
Anybody else have any recent recs? I'm especially interested in work and workout clothes, but any recs appreciated.
I haven't needed as much in the way of work clothes this time (thank goodness, because that is the hardest to find!) and I've gone cheap on my activewear. I picked up some cropped leggings from Kohls for cheap, and I'm wearing my Blanqi leggings most of the time now anyhow. I have a few Old Navy activewear tops that have been good - I like this tee - oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=269451002&cid=1053229&pcid=1053229
During my last pregnancy, I LOOOOVED this dress for work. You can pair it with a blazer or a cardigan and it looks great fro the office, it also works for date night. I have it in black. It's super flattering.

I really like the Encore tank from Athleta and have been wearing my Lululemon Align crops from before pregnancy.
I’m in a similar spot as you regarding work clothes. I’m starting to need a full panel and only have 2 pairs of pants so I’ve been wearing dresses, but it’s so cold!
I have a few dresses from JoJo Maman Bebe that I like. They recently had a big sale. Plus is that they are nursing friendly so will come in handy for pumping at work.
I love those target tops! I have both short and long sleeve. They're thin, but soft and well fitting. I have some bumpstart ones from Motherhood that are so thick and constricting.
I love the blanqi tanks. I’m in CA so it’s temperate and I just pair with maternity jeans (Liverpool skinny from stitch fix - love) and a cardigan. I also like gap maternity tanks. Their leggings are horrible and see through so would not recommend those. Blanqi has great leggings I wear frequently and also for yoga.

I got a couple cute tops @ Kohls. They also had workout leggings and tops. I bought one pair of regular leggings, in navy, to round out the 3 black pairs I have, but I’ll probably return them bc it is too cold to think about wearing such thin pants. The Kohl’s work pants - they had ponte in 2 colors and a different pair in just black - come in lengths! I bought an XXL regular (was a L/XL depending on brand pre-pregnancy but I don’t want to squeeze myself later on) and they are loose in the legs. Probably should have gone with an XL, but shrug.

Any recommendations on sizing for this one? Is it pretty true to pre-pregnancy size?

Yes, definitely. I have it in S.
I feel the way the pleats fall you can wear it comfortably throughout the pregnancy. I wore it from around week 20 to 39.
miamigirl, melmaria, I've had that dress bookmarked for a while from someone's rec (here? Corporette Moms? Somewhere...) but couldn't bring myself to order a sleeveless dress when it was -6* this morning! Lol. But I just ordered it in navy to give it a try.
