I am 5’2" and my pre pregnancy weight was 95.. I am now 20 weeks and up to 110.. My stomach has, well, obviously expanded and there’s no way I am getting into size 0 pants anymore lol.. I haven’t been able to find any maternity pants that fit in the legs.. It will say size small and I’ll get it on and although comfortable in the stomach, it looks as though I’m wearing 5 sizes to large everywhere else!! lol..The only pants I saw remotely close to fitting was a piece and I can’t afford that for pants that’ll last a few months.. Anyone have suggestions as to where I can find affordably priced petite clothing??

Old Navy or Motherhood maternity. Motherhood Maternity has great pants of every size that are low priced all the time- I got mine for $17 a pair.
Try Old Navy online, or buy capri pants and wear them as regular ones.
Your best selection would be online – check out:

I always go to see what they have on sale and I also search the internet for coupon codes . . . the return policy is also pretty good if you get something that does not work out.
Good luck!
I wish I had this problem… LOL!
Personally I am a fan of http://www.ebay.com for maternity clothes. Given your height though you may have to have pants hemmed. Fortunately it is almost summer though and you will be wearing a lot of shorts and Capri’s. Try ebay. Search for "Petite Maternity Clothes" I just checked it and 11 listings came back. Good Luck!
Fashion Bug used to have a maternity line. I’m not sure if they still do or not. But Old Navy does and both stores tend to have good prices and have sales and promotions almost constantly.

If you don’t mind used items, check eBay. You could find some great bargains on there!

I was 5’4 108 pounds before I got pregnant. I wore yoga pants from old navy and you might be able to get by with really low rise girls pants in and XL or XXL. That is what I did for most of my pregnancy. And they are very cheap. Good luck, I know it is tough to find small maternity clothes
I have the same problem. Although I am not as tiny as you
I also couldn’t stand the sight if most maternity pants. Old navy had a few, they actually carry skinny maternity jeans! My best investment though has been this belly band. There are a ton of different brands, but I didn’t want to wait to have mine shipped so I just went to the motherhood location in my area and purchased one. Its an elastic band about a foot wide that you pull on over your normal pants, just unbuttoned. They come in all different colors too. I fold mine in half, bc I don’t like it to cover my entire stomach. There is actually a brand called the BellaBand, it’s about 30 bucks online. Good Luck!

Well, I’ve been shopping thrift stores and consignment stores, and seeing as I would never have been able to fit into anything petite even before pregnancy, of course there’s PLENTY of petite sizes, but that’s usually the way it goes in places like that, plenty of stuff too small or too big, but good prices, and you’re helping out a local charity shopping thrift stores… then again, I’ve been shopping thrift stores for ages, it’s a habit.
i have a friend who was in the same situation and she had to have all of her maternity pants altered to make them smaller in the hips and thighs but she could afford it because she is an accountant. i’m not really sure what to tell you, i am your height but my pre pregnancy weight was 110 and i wear a size 5 jean so size small does fit me. probably the only ones that will be tailored well enough are those that are really expensive. the only thing i can think of that may be affordable is if you alter the jeans you already have or buy maybe a size 2 and have the tops cut off of them and add an elastic band yourself (if you can sew)
