I got a pants extender (from target) which gives more room in "normal" pants that have a front fly / button and just wore a belly band over the top of my entire belly & pants - and then just stretchy tshirts.
i got belly bands off ebay for about $7 each, they have been a lifesaver as my tops get shorter...my belly only started really popping out at about 27-28 weeks. the ebay store is called '4 mums tums' i think...
and kmart has a range called bub2b which has nice maternity clothes, plain black skirts/pants etc, get some of these and a white or black belly band (think bub2b makes the bands too) and a cotton/stretchy top... GL
I'm the same, its really only office clothes I needed to get some alternatives for. I bought a few pairs of pants (3/4 and full length) that roll down at the waist from target in basic colours. They're fantastic. My problem was buying up a size in pants with a fly etc meant that they were huge on me everywhere else as I haven't put weight on through bum/thighs/ hips etc. They will get me through the whole pregnancy. I had a lot of longer style tops with room in them anyway so most things will fit all the way through.
You don't need to spend a fortune to get a few basics that will get you through. LIke some of the other girls have said, the chain stores have very reasonably priced maternity stuff which is still good quality.
Good luck
