Anybody know of a good pregnancy workout DVD?

The stores closest to me are Target, Walmart, Fred Meyer, and Motherhood Maternity.

Anybody boughten pregnancy workout DVDs from these stores that are actually worth it?

Does anybody know of any stores that are online or otherwise, where I can find decent not horribly expensive plus sized maternity clothing? I know of Motherhood Maternity, which is a little pricey but good, and have recently seen that Old Navy has an online plus size maternity section, but that is all I know of! Please tell me websites or stores. I start back to work in a month (I am a teacher) and have next to nothing. Thanks!

Where to find PLUS SIZED Maternity Clothing?

I’m newly pregnant for the first time and I’m a size 20 / 22. Are there any other places aside from JCPennys, Old Navy, and Motherhood Maternity to find clothing?
Neither Torrid nor Target offer plus sized maternity clothing. Thank you for randomly throwing out store names?

Maternity Wear?!?!?!?!?

I am due in November and have no idea of what to wear until then. My bottoms are getting tight, shirts riding up. What should I be buying for the summer mat wear, then what for the winter mat wear? My last pregnancy only called for mat clothes in the summer months (I had him Sept 1 – still very nice outside!) I also am going to start a new job at Motherhood Maternity and want to know what to do about that? Should I buy reg summer/work summer AS WELL AS reg winter/work winter wardrobes??? Please help on what pieces to buy. I know I’ll be investing in some mat t-shirts, so that can be regular summer… here’s the rundown to not confuse u!!
I need:
Summer Regular and Work
Winter Regular and Work
Summer Baby Shower wear
Winter Party (My g-mom is turning 70 – this has to be DRESSY!)
AND we may be going to Florida late Aug.
My B-day is 7/12 and my son’s is 9/1 – I need cute outfits for those SUMMER dates..

I should have waited on this, when I didn’t have SO much to do…

I’m talkin what’s in style now, with a maternity fit. Skinny jeans (designer), asymmetric tops, etc. The stars always look so hot when they are pregnant. Where can an everyday woman find trendy maternity clothes? I don’t like the pastel, flowery, boring colored maternity clothes you find at the franchise maternity stores like Motherhood Maternity. Please help.

I went to Motherhood Maternity they are SO expensive. And all the maternity pants I’ve tried on have this short/tight/thick band on the waist that puts a dent on my belly and the baby kicks at it cuz its too tight. I like the pants with the long stretchy material that goes up past your belly button to hold ur belly up, do they even sell those anymore?. Right now I can’t button my pants and I’m stuck wearing my regular pants unbuttoned with a Bella Band over the waist to hold em up :(

I really like Motherhood Maternity the pants fit me great. I know that Old Navy has maternity clothing, and I have heard that they have good prices. I dont understand why they say that you should buy the same size you were prior to being preggers though, because smalls are 4/6 they say, but I was a 9 prior to this pregnancy, and I was a 5 or 7 prior to my last pregnancy, and I wear size small in pants and shirts in most all maternity clothes. There are a few brands that smalls are to small, like an Oh Baby maternity shirt I bought online, everything fits fine, except the arm holes are so small that the squeeze my arms so tight, I almost couldnt get it off, and it was not comfortable. My arms are not very big either. But I think my favorite place to buy maternity clothing is Ebay, because you can get new or slighty used maternity clothing, for a very good price. The only problem buying online is that so many different brands run different sizes, even so I bought about 15 shirts and 8 pants online through eBay all size smalls and only 2 shirts were to small. I bought one shirt in a medium from Buddah belly maternity, they stated that their maternity clothes ran smaller than others so you should order a size larger than usual, so when the medium shirt came it was so huge it looked like a dress, but I returned it and my small is on its way.

So where is your favorite place, store, and your favorite maternity brands?

Thanks for your answers and God bless you all.

I personally think they’re so cute! Sure I miss all the options I had with my "normal" clothes, but I’m 21 and so often people think I’m younger. I feel like the style of maternity clothes makes me look more professional/mature, thus closer to my actual age.

Maybe I’m just weird. But I’m really not dying to get back in my normal jeans anytime soon. I guess I kind of feel cute pregnant. (granted, i’m sure by 40 wks I’ll be MORE than ready to get this baby out of me, but right now at 28 and 2 days, I’m still feeling pretty good).

It didn’t even occur to me that I could grow "out of" maternity clothes!! Ooh dear. I’ve got class and work everyday so I don’t know what I’d wear! lol, I feel for you, 41 weeks, though, it’s got to be coming soon! Congrats!!
Most are from Motherhood Maternity, the remainder are loaners from a woman at my church or from Kohl’s.

The most I’ve paid for a top is and my most expensive pair of jeans was . I am a bargain shopper anyway, so I wasn’t about to spend a fortune on clothes that would last for a few months, especially when there’s so much to buy for baby!

When I was pregnant several years ago, I bought a tank top from Motherhood Maternity which was the best tank top I’ve ever owned. The fabric was thick ribbed cotton (not thin like Old Navy’s), and it was perfectly stretchy and form fitting. It was also long enough to reach the spot where the hip joins the leg. I went back to get more, but they changed the fabric to some thin, scratchy, awful stuff. Anyone know where I can get something like this?

Ive gotten to the point where I have to leave my jeans unbuttoned because they are to tight. I have been to motherhood maternity before, and it is so expensive. Do any ladies know any places that are very affordable even if it is online?
Im mostly concerned with having a few warm pairs of pants or jeans and some sweaters that stretch. Winter is coming around and stretchy pants isnt very warm in a foot of snow. I appreciate the advise :D

Where is the best place to buy pregnancy jeans?




I have some pants from Kohls but I don’t really like them all that much. Like they are alright, but I still am able to wear the short that I have bought. So where do you like your jeans from? I do like my shorts from Motherhood Maternity but they are a little pricey even though I did get them all on sale.

Are these beauty routines safe during pregnancy?




Im almost 12 weeks pregnant & have to go to my cousins wedding in a week & want to look decent, Im wondering if these beauty routines are safe during pregnancy?

1.) Using Crest whitening strips to whiten my teeth

2.) Using self tanner

3.) Using lemon juice to naturally lighten my hair as Im not going to color it (even if some people say its safe) my roots are starting to show & I need something!

** Also, are there any good maternity stores that have a dressy top to wear w/ black pants to a wedding? Ive looked everywhere…target,
jc penney, sears, kohls, motherhood maternity & it seems like there is no selection & very limited for us pregnant women.

Thanks!!
