I am so excited about the coming baby boom!!! You ladies all look so great! By 35 weeks I was wearing MHs T-shirts and very stretched out yoga pants and here you all are looking fabulous!
W- why bother with toys when you can chew on purse straps?! (This is after I pulled a twig out of her mouth)
dream2be3, glad I'm not the only plus size mom here!
I can only imagine what I'll look like at 30+ weeks too! Like whoa.
I'm scared to get on the scale next week! It will have been a month since my last appointment. Last time I had only gained the weight of the babies - less then a pound. Don't think I'll be that lucky again. Lol
Have you found any good plus size maternity stores/websites?

Not really. I'm a size 18 so I can fit into an XXL from Old Navy and Target. I bought a few things from Pink Blush too. Other than that, I bought a Bella Band and still use that a lot with my jeans/work pants.

As long as you aren't tall, Motherhood has some cute bottoms. If you're tall, I'm sorry. I have one pair of jeans that are about 2 inches shorter than I would like, but I wear them because I have no other option.
I wear an XL in tops so I got away with regular sizing at Motherhood. I ordered plus size tops from Pink Blush and found both of them to be much longer than the Motherhood tops.
Edit: I also practically live in non-maternity yoga pants and fold-over waist skirts. I recognize that those yoga pants won't stay up afterwards without alteration, but I don't care because they're comfy.
requiressnacks and piccyami I can fit into most XXL things from Old Navy but I haven't tried Target. The Target here has a terrible selection. I got some comfy capri's and t-shirts from the plus-size section of Motherhood but am pretty unimpressed with their online selection. We don't have a physical store where I live. I've gotten a couple things from Pink Blush too. JcPenny online has a plus size maternity section so I found a couple things there too. Overall though nothing I really love or think is super cute.
I'm hoping fall brings some cuter options!
piccyami I am not tall but am short so most bottoms are too long.
dream2be3, Then you'll probably have better luck with pants than I did. I also haven't found anything I truly love, but I also usually make my own clothes so I'm kind of biased. I just didn't want to figure out how to manage maternity adjustments, only to have to make more in a few months. As long as I have enough clothes to wash once a week, I'm mostly happy.

piccyami, requiressnacks, dream2be3, most of my maternity shirts & dresses were old navy online, they carry nothing in their stores. I wore skirts almost exclusively and had 2 pair of capris from Motherhood. I caved and bought one pair of jeans from Kohls because it was getting cold. I wore them more post party's than pregnant.
FWIW, I started out 50lbs overweight and was back down to my pre preg weight by 4w pp- I lost even more BFing, but gained a lot back when I went back to work!
ETA- post party! Gotta love autocorrect! I wore the jeans post PARTUM.

What if you just send PMs inviting individuals rather than posting a general announcement on the board?

I was just thinking about inviting some of the GKU grads over here. Did you reach out?

Not yet, I was waiting for grad Tuesday, although with you running the check in you probably know best who has been by over here and who hasn't.
