Step 1
Buy non-maternity items. You can use many regular plus-size clothes throughout your pregnancy, and they are much easier to find. Tops that have empire waists, tie-backs or long bodies are great for covering a growing belly. Pants that sit low on the hips can also fit well into your second or even third trimester.

Step 2
Borrow from friends. If you have a friend or family member who has plus-sized maternity clothes, ask if you can borrow a few items to get you through the last few months of pregnancy. Most maternity clothes are well taken care of, since they are worn for such a short time.

Step 3
Shop at resale shops for plus-size maternity clothes at a fraction of the cost.
-
Step 4
Look online at your favorite plus-size shops. Many companies offer maternity items online, but not in their stores. Do a bit of research to see if this is true with your favorite stores.

Step 5
Check out the maternity shops. Some maternity shops, such as Motherhood Maternity, carry plus-sized items up to 4x. Be aware that they usually have a better selection online than in the store.
