Not complaining, because I’m thrilled this website exists at all, but it might be nice to have a weekend thread for the moms site like the main site has!

Alli says
I think I remember reading on here that there is, or is going to be, a list or roundup of maternity wardrobe basics. If that exists, will someone please direct me to it? I’m seven weeks and haven’t bought anything maternity yet, but the button on my pants says the time is coming soon. I’d love to have a list of suggestions for fundamental pieces.

Alli– if you go to the Shop tab at the top of the s*te, then Maternity Stores, then Maternity Shopping for Work, you’ll see all the recs/the guide. I’m in my ninth week and have no idea what to start buying. It seems really hard to know how big I’ll be when, and what will fit right months down the road. Particularly for business attire. I did grab a couple super cheap and cute maxi dresses from Old Navy (non-maternity). They are flowy and stretchy and should fit no matter my bump size! Let me know if you have any luck!
