ARIZONANS: Plus size maternity clothes??

I'm 5'7 and 226 lbs right now (MUCH bigger through my shoulders, stomach, and waist, small in the thighs/butt/legs) at 17w3d. Does anyone know where I can find inexpensive maternity clothes? Family and friends want to start giving me gift cards to maternity stores so I actually have things to wear (I'm pulling a Doug Funny at the moment LITERALLY wearing one shirt and pair of shorts that fit).

 

I tried the Motherhood Maternity near me and in the Arrowhead mall...they literally had nothing worth buying in plus size...

Hmm...I was just about to say Motherhood.  Have you tried the one at the Chandler Fashion Center?  I just moved here a few months ago, but I've heard from other moms that maternity stores are virtually non-existant here.  Maybe try looking online.

I know you put your height and weight up there but Im not sure what size you wear. Have you looked at Old Navy? They carry XXL in shirts and 18 in pants. There clothes seem to run big sometimes too. And also, I am not sure if all Sears stores carry them but a local Sears by me had a good selection of maternity and I noticed some plus size shirts on the clearance rack. Good luck to you.

I've had a lot of luck with Old Navy XXL size clothes.

I recently bought maternity pants at Ross. They were like half the price of pants I found in other places. They are probably not the best quality but I figured that I am only going to wear them a few months anyways. I am not plus sized, but they did have a plus sized maternity section. I'd check it out for some less expensive clothes.

There is hardly anything over here in Chandler other than Motherhood, but I have been really happy with all the Old Navy maternity clothes I have ordered. 

So excited to meet our baby girl in March!

Im a bigger gal and found my pants at motherhood :) they're a little pricey but they have lasted my the entire 9 months. I get them when they have a sale like BOGO 1/2 off. I went on the hunt for clothes and had no such luck anywhere else. You can most definately find stuff online, Im just not comfortable with online shopping for clothes. Arizona Mills has a really small section and Arrowhead had a bigger pants selection. Good Luck!! (BTW I started in a pants regular size 22ish. I have a big booty and bigger boobies. 5'3" starting weight was 245 and am currently at 265, at motherhood I wear the full panel 2x short/petite)
