Just like every other Mommy-To-Be, we on bed rest want to be comfortable and would love to have some cute maternity clothes, too. Okay, so we don't go out in public, except for doctors visits, BUT to be wearing something that makes you feel good, that can only add to the positive outlook you need to make each day that much easier.  Just a small piece of the positive puzzle, but a piece nonetheless.

Other things to take into account is that being on bed rest, we can not go out shopping.  Also, most likely we are on a striiiccctttt budget.  With all of that taken into account, here are a few of the places via internet that I go for frugally comfortable clothes for this ever changing body.

1. Old Navy Maternity
2. Target Maternity
3. Forever 21 Maternity
4. Other:  Granted I am spending my last trimester in the summer, but my biggest buys are getting summer dresses that are not "maternity" by design, but rather "regular" summer dresses.  The key to buying "regular" summer dresses is that to get a size, or two, bigger, that the material is flowy and that the style is empire waist/seam of the dress is right above that belly. Also, tie waist dresses where you can bring the tie up to above your belly is great as well. Keep in mind the length of that dress if you are not buying it "maternity" for that length with shorten ALOT due to the big belly and perhaps other growing areas of that beautiful pregnant body ;  )
