I'm trying to take advantage of the Old Navy sale (15% off maternity + an additional 20%) that ends today. Does anyone think their maternity stuff runs true to size, or is it a little too big?
Normally, I'm a large there but sometimes I swim in them and go down to a medium. My bump isn't super big right now (12 weeks) so I have no idea how to plan ahead!

Their maternity sizing ran large on me BUT I totally needed to go up a size in tops toward the end.
I'm normally a size large but needed mediums in maternity!

I read the reviews because their sizes range from item to item. 
ETA: gap is 30% off today.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Good to know! Maybe I'll get a few mediums since they're so cheap right now and a few larges later.
@ash Good call!

@Ash: this.
Also, I found the pants (from ON and GAP) with low panel weren't comfortable as my bump grew (I also carried low)...Basically, even if the pants were big in the thigh, the band was SO tight, I couldn't wear them.

Everything seemed very big. I'm petite, yet busty. While I usually wear a medium top, and size 4 bottoms, I wore XS in everything from Old Navy and Gap maternity.

My Gap pants fit fairly well in my regular size, but the low panel wasn't very comfortable. Old Navy's rouched shirts also fit true to size for me. In the maxi dresses, I had to go up to a large.

I found gap true to size but Old Navy was all over the place, tending to run big. Like @Ash: said read the reviews for everything.
Almost all my mat clothes are from these two stores!

I'm always an M at Old Navy and all my maternity stuff from them is also M. It all fit all the way through last time, and so far so good this pregnancy.

Just about all of my Old Navy stuff ran big - I normally wear an XL in their tops and was able to wear L in maternity stuff (especially with the side rouching). Most of their tops looked ridiculous on me until I was about 20 weeks along and finally had a bump to fill them out. The good thing about their tops is that they are pretty long, though, so they lasted me all the way until the very end!

I found Gap to run pretty true to size, but Old Navy to be a little big. I had the same problem with the Old Navy pants, though. They were not comfortable as time went on.

I've had to size down in Gap Maternity Pants.. my regular size was too big on the butt and waist. I would suggest checking the reviews to see which products you might want to consider sizing down on.
