I agree with what many others have said, in regards to spending the $$$ on key pieces. I bought a pair of shorts from a maternity shop in Adelaide for $80 & wore them soooo much & as they could be made bigger or smaller with a strap instead of just a stretchy band I actually wore them flat out after having Charlie until I could get back into my other clothes. As for tops I just bought from Kmart or Target a size or 2 bigger than normal as I found even the clothes in their maternity section were way over priced!!! I got my two denim maternity skirts on ebay much cheaper & they too were great.
