I'm having the hardest time finding maternity clothing in stores. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough?

I've tried C&A, but they aren't really my style and fit poorly. I've gotten a few things at H&M, but their selection seems very limited. The selection in store at Baby Walz seemed to be limited and pricey. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on maternity clothing knowing this will be my first and only baby. Any idea of where else to look?!

In store is very limited and personally I find it all pricey compared to the US.

Online is your best bet check out bonprix they have the best prices in my opinion.

I had my mom hit up the kohls clearence rack and walmart and send me some from the US.

You wont need much, mainly slacks just a few pairs. I wear long tops anyway so I just worse my normal tops.

If I recall right you have APO correct? I woudl 100% order from the US.

Baby clothing too. I refuse to pay 18 euro for a romper someones been smoking something when they came up with baby clothing prices.

Yep, I have an APO. I just hate ordering clothing online, but I guess I'll have to suck it up or let myself hang out of my clothing.

I'm going stateside in a few months and plan to hit up some outlet stores for baby gear. You're right, someone must have been smoking something when pricing out this stuff here. I've been able to score some cute baby stuff on clearance, but I don't think I'll buy anything full priced here.

Thanks for the input!

you could also watch stars and stripes for used. Ebay.de gets tons as well. But nothing is really cute here in my opinion not like in the US.

We also have a new international fsot forum you should add your iso or any iha

Hello liz,

I back Serena's proposal to buy maternity clothing with bonprix. I ordered almost all my maternity wear with them. Their prices are very low, indeed..

It´s shocking isn´t it...I was so frustrated the other day when browsing at a huge mall in Berlin :S...

I agree our best bet is probably online, bonprix has some nice things and asos ships to Germany as well, zalando is limited in selection. There s also an online store called vertbaudet.de which has a few nice things. And a european store - fragile.be .Both last two more pricey than bonprix though.

I´ve found 2 nice stores which specialise in maternity clothes and babywares and they seem to have a nice selection- maybe it s worth asking aunt google if there are any specialised maternity clothing stores near you.
