Brick-and-mortar maternity clothing? I give up. I wear size 22 pre-pregnancy and am starting to not be able to wear my pants at 18w (yay bump!). I tried going shopping for maternity clothes (particularly pants!) today, and there was just nothing. Motherhood maternity shops are all permanently closed. Plus size stores aren’t carrying maternity in stock. I even tried Walmart and Target, neither of which carried any maternity clothes larger than XL in store. I ended up buying some plus size pants at Target that look like parachutes, and broke down crying in the parking lot as I surveyed their hideousness.

Is it just a lost cause to want to go clothes shopping for maternity wear? And don’t tell me to shop online- it’s all cheap-looking but bizarrely overpriced crap, with scratchy fabric and very poor chance of fitting. Boo, this sucks.
