I ended up keeping 3 of them, and because I worked in a formal office, I wore them to work for the rest of my pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886442 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 09:33:42 +0000 karenbme 2886442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nwm: I have been really curious about Seraphine, they’ve been serving me instagram ads like crazy,m. Good to know it’s quality. I’m definitely going to order a red dress they’ve been selling super hard to me, and probably some pants. 😃</p> <p>@jennlin821: I didn’t even realize stitch fix did maternity, will have to check it out.</p> <p>@cake2017: I always forget about amazon... Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886440 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 09:26:25 +0000 MaryM 2886440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got all of mine from the Gap. The demi band was great for early pregnancy and post partum. I wore them to work when I first went back too. </p> <p>I would only buy them on sale though! The list price is way too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886439 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 09:23:50 +0000 MsHangry 2886439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my first pregnancy I got some elastic top work pants from Kohl’s. I am doing it again this time. I don’t know if it will take me all the way to the end this time. They were in the regular clothes section, not maternity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886435 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 09:07:20 +0000 jennlin821 2886435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine from JCPenny online a few years ago. Motherhood Maternity/Pea in a Pod had some good things too! </p> <p>Also, I used Stitch fix when I was preggo for a wedding I went to when I was 7mo along. They sent some great things that I didn't see online. Highly recommend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886433 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 09:06:38 +0000 cake2017 2886433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: I ordered work dress pants on Amazon and Pea in a Pod. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886432 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 09:06:21 +0000 nwm 2886432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not sure what your budget is, but i was given a pair of work pants from seraphine that are super nice. pea in the pod also carries a brand called isabella oliver that i have used for my more formal work stuff (though mostly dresses/tops). </p> <p>sorry i missed this Q on the due date board! i also have a great pair that i have worn daily through two pregnancies that i got from the maternity stitch fix box. i just keep forgetting to get them out of storage and check the brand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886428 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 08:55:46 +0000 karenbme 2886428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: It’s not a cost thing (I actually live in the US, Montreal is just the closest city) but at least with what Kohl’s stocks here the quality tends to be hit or miss. Might be better online, but hard to tell, and I’m not good at returning things I buy online, which I know is on me. </p> <p>@KT326: @caitcat: Thanks for the pea in the pod tip, I’ll check it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886414 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 06:57:07 +0000 caitcat 2886414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had good luck with A Pea in the Pod for pants for work. They fit the best for the longest for me, which was helpful since they were more expensive. </p> <p>I had a couple pairs from Gap too that worked well at first, but they didn't fit as comfortably into the third trimester for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886411 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 23:02:04 +0000 meadow 2886411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: is kohls exorbitantly expensive online in Canada? I know some stores are. I shopped entirely online for maternity clothes from kohls.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886399 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 20:58:02 +0000 KT326 2886399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: I got my slacks from a pea in the pod. Expensive but great quality and they’ve lasted for years! Full disclosure, my son is 2 and I still wear them.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886397 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 20:52:57 +0000 karenbme 2886397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: Thanks, I tried the Kohl’s here and they had one rack of jeans and tops. Maybe I need to go up to Montreal... 😕 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886384 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 19:12:27 +0000 meadow 2886384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try kohls....I had good luck there with staples of black, grey, brown pants a couple years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-work-pants-2#post-2886371 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 15:54:20 +0000 karenbme 2886371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I’m currently 14 weeks and need to start wearing maternity pants, but need to be able to dress up for work. I’ve outgrown even my loosest suit pants. I have dresses that are work appropriate and still fit, but in general prefer pants. I live in a relatively small town with few options for maternity wear, so I’m looking for recs for gray or black belly friendly suit pants that I can buy online. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2501836 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 12:58:35 +0000 csross217 2501836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found that they run a little small, but I'm able to get my regular pre-preg size. The only exception is the outerwear, which seems to run really big! I ordered a maternity coat earlier this year in a M (my normal size) and it was massive! I think I could have fit 2 of me in it.... had to return it for a small, which still fits at 34 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2501216 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 22:09:00 +0000 Me3 2501216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gigantic with my second pregnancy and some of their size L tops fit till the very end of my pregnancy, which is saying something! So I would say they run true to size. I was a M/L before pregnancy and definitely a L during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2501207 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 21:31:42 +0000 pregnantbee 2501207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Yay, twinsies! 👯 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2501145 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 20:03:27 +0000 MrsSCB 2501145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, all! Sounds like I should definitely go with the higher of the two sizes I'm considering. I just noticed the 20 percent off deal doesn't start until the 24th, so I think I'll hold off purchasing until then.</p> <p>@pregnantbee: I have the shirt with the little birds in my shopping bag -- we can be twins :-)</p> <p>@catomd00: that's good to know, I'm going to be sure to only buy ones that state you can return in-store. I'm terrible about making returns when I have to mail them in.</p> <p>@travellingbee: ok good, I was either going to go to that one or the Katy Mills one. I'm sad they don't carry the maternity line in the Galleria, since that's obviously closest but we'll just make a short road trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2501062 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 17:50:39 +0000 erinbaderin 2501062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one tshirt, but I generally wear xs or s and I got the tshirt in medium. I probably would have been ok with a small, though, if they had had any in stock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2501034 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 16:35:29 +0000 Portboston 2501034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed. They run a bit small. I loved their stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2501031 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 16:32:29 +0000 travellingbee 2501031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: The one in Willowbrook has a decent selection of maternity clothes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2501024 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 16:13:29 +0000 Worrywart 2501024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go up a size or two in their maternity bottoms. They ran super small for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2500971 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 14:43:20 +0000 catomd00 2500971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: I don't think you can return in store all the time. I recall not being able to with some nursing tanks I bought, but that was 2 years ago.</p> <p>I think they run true to size, maybe slightly small. Definitely smaller than motherhood and traditional maternity. I like it because I'm petite and motherhood etc is always huge on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2500912 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:58:04 +0000 pregnantbee 2500912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Oh, that's cool. I really didn't find much in store for work. Just lots of basics. I find that the leggings kinda fall fall down.....as do the skinny black pants I got. Love the t-shirts and have found that the striped one and one with birds on it (navy with white birds) run a little smaller than the solid colors. I also bought a 2-pack of nursing tanks -- obv. haven't worn those yet. Had been debating buying a dress online, but I ultimately didn't want to pay shipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2500910 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:55:42 +0000 MrsSCB 2500910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: They don't have maternity in-store at the one closest to my house, but there is one about 35 min away. I think we might trek out there in a couple weekends (we'll be out of town next weekend), so my husband suggested I just wait. But my work clothes situation is going to be getting dire soon, so I kind of want to try a couple things online before then! At least I can return in store and they do free shipping :-) I think they have 20 percent off online right now, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2500907 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:50:48 +0000 pregnantbee 2500907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd also say they run a little small. I'm wearing their maternity t-shirts in L but I've generally been a M at other stores. But even the t-shirts range in size depending on the fabric/pattern. Will you be able to try on locally? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2500906 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:49:02 +0000 kodybear 2500906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's similar to their regular clothes. Runs a bit small so I'd probably size up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2500903 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:43:12 +0000 brownepiano 2500903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pair of jeans and they fit a little small like their regular clothes. They are fine until the last two months and then I wished I had a size bigger (that was last time and it seems to be true for this pregnancy too).</p> <p>ETA: for me their clothes are only a little small, not exactly a full size off so it depends on the cut some too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2500894 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:29:19 +0000 EBSC 2500894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed, pretty close to true to size for their tops at least. I didn't have any of their bottoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hampm-maternity-clothes-1#post-2500892 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:28:19 +0000 MrsKoala 2500892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my regular size in everything and it fit pretty well up until the end. </p>
