I'd love to know how people are pulling together maternity looks, for an office work environment, for casual at-home days, and for special events. I'll start!
Work pants! These are awesome! http://www.loft.com/loft/product/LOFT-Maternity/Maternity-Pants-Skirts/Maternity-Skinny-Pants-in-LOFT-Scuba/296461?colorExplode=false&skuId=12712137&catid=catl000045&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=6477 These are NOT: http://www.loft.com/loft/product/LOFT-Maternity/Maternity-Pants-Skirts/Maternity-Stretch-Cotton-Cropped-Pants/304176?colorExplode=false&skuId=13339562&catid=catl000045&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=6600 |

| Not pregnant currently, but when I was, my favorite place to get inspiration was Hatch maternity. I couldn't afford their clothing but would try to style my pregnancy wardrobe similar to pics I saw on their site. I mostly tried to go for loose, flowy maxi dresses which were super flattering and comfortable. I mostly wore a short leather jacket with a maxi dress. Hair usually in a cute ponytail, flats for casual days, fun colored pumps for dressier times. Add a cute purse like a large clutch and I was ready to go. Hatch: http://hatchcollection.com/shop/tag/errands/ It was hard for me personally to get inspired to put together an outfit, but this was my go- to outfit. Another great flattering look is a blazer with a loose top and skinny jeans, or skirt. At home I just usually wore a t-shirt and cute pajama pants or boxer shorts. |

| I just bought a few things at H+M this afternoon and was suprised by how well things fit. Most of it's fairly casual and I'm not expecting it to last very long, but I was impressed with the the cuts of the clothes. |

| These pants were amazing for around the house in late pregnancy: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=9936&vid=1&pid=855624032. Even better post c-section. |

I bought from their maternity line - some leggings and a few shirts. I really liked the leggings because you could fold down the panel and it still was smooth underneath tops (I'm only 17 weeks right now). I'm not normally a leggings kind of girl, but I wanted something to wear under some knit dresses I still fit in until it gets warmer. I can't bring myself to wear tights. It's definitely not the nicest shopping experience; all the maternity stuff is sort of shoved randomly in a corner by the elevator, mixed in with some 3x-sized clothes. Also, the Georgetown store doesn't carry any of the maternity stuff, only the store on F St. |

| The new Silver Spring H&M carries maternity. I like the leggings I got there, hate the jeans. The belly panel is made from a stretch cotton fabric and does not stay up, even now with a pretty substantial belly at 27 weeks. I am constantly tugging them up, and even ripped a hole in the panel doing so one day as my pants were sliding down my bum. Not good. |

I wouldn't call myself a fashionista but I do like to dress nicely. I checked out Hatch and it looks like drapey rags. You could go buy XXXL regular clothes and it would look the same. These clothes aren't even flattering on the models who just have a fake belly strapped on -- there's no way they would look good on a real pregnant woman. |

OMG, the hatch site? PP, did you look at that link before posting?
http://hatchcollection.com/shop/product/the-romper/ OMG! And with the clunky shoes? So fug. Bah hah hah hah: STOPPPP! http://hatchcollection.com/shop/product/the-jumper/ I mean, I understand high fashion, but ladies, you are pregnant. It is too late to man-repel. I am going to have to admit that for my first, I stuck to gap maternity because it was basically that or MiMi or Pea in the Pod or whatever MAYBE something cute at Japanese Weekend, and none of that appealed. This time around (quite a few years between pregnancies) and I'm psyched at the selection. But I will not be wearing this outfit: http://hatchcollection.com/shop/product/the-hoodie/ Sorry, PP, I did look around the hatch site and they do have some nice basics, but wow, they're trying really-really-really hard with some of that stuff and the result is just weird. |

| I've only seen the hatch dresses on gilt and I swear those are cute! I got some cute stuff off gilt in general. Jeans are so hard. None of them are cute and I've tried them all. It may be because I'm just huge. |

| 1605: Can you post a link to the Hatch sale on gilt? I can't find it on their website. Thanks! |

| While the romper and overalls ARE CRAZY, I mean, how do you take that off quickly to go pee? (Which you go pee like a million times a day when pregnant) I like all their tops and dresses. And the trench coat-looking thing, which appears to be sold out. I am the pp who originally posted about Hatch, BTW. I guess some people don't like the loose flowy look, which I think is the most flattering during pregnancy. I personally don't like when pregnant people wear clothes where their spare tire is hanging out because their pants are too small and shirt is too tight. JMHO. |

| I will admit I too got a good laugh from the Hatch link. I don't know how that could look cute, but hey more power to you pp if you like it, flaunt it! |
