I had the same problem when I was pregnant – trying to find NICE and AFFORDABLE maternity wear was not easy – especially where I live! So I ended up starting up my own little business selling cheap new and used maternity clothes at my local market. I got such a great responce and it slowly grew from there. It has taken me a long time to get my collection so good as we all know how hard nice affordable maternity clothes are to come by. Now I also have a small website so everyone else in Australia can have access to my cheap maternity clothes. They are all checked for quality and most are selling for nearly 70% off RRP. I have items starting from $4!! I always combine postage to help save on that cost. http://www.cairnsyummymummy.com

Ok, you will need a few proper maternity items, for nice occaisons, or just the occaisons when you feel so fat and frumpy and horrid that you NEED to wear something nice to save your life! Pregnancy does that to you! So go to Kmart & their maternity range Bub2Be is the cheapest stuff I’ve been able to find, and every single time I go there they ALWAYS have stuff on clearance too! My bub is 2 months old now, and I’m still buying maternity stuff when I can spare the dosh, as it’s the only clothes that fit my boobs! Plus size is too wide and I swim, but normal size are all too squeezy for my boobs! So thank god for pregnancy or I would never have discovered this!
In the 2nd trimester maternity jeans will be heaven, even the belly bands are useless for holding the jeans up. But in 3rd tri you’ll find your normal jeans with the fly undone but the loose corners tucked inside and the belly band over to be the best. In hot weather too, as no bikini top would fit, and heatwaves KILLED me, I’d wear the belly band as a bandeau/boob tube too, only at home but.
Op shops are useless for maternity wear. All the good stuff goes online on ebay, and gets sold for mini-fortunes plus postage, always get caught out on postage!
Ummm. This past year, baggy/oversized tops have been in fashion, and they make great maternity wear, and so cheap! (well kmart ones anyways)
But yeah, I mainly lived in jeans, singlet-tops with belly band, and open shirts or cardigans. Still do actually. Belly bands fill the void I always had pre-preg finding long enough singlets to layer underneath things!
Oh, and when your feet swell, get a pair of crocs, any cheapo imitation will do, they will be the only things that will actually fit, and you don’t have to bend to put them on! (Handy for when bubs won’t let you put her down too, as much as I think they are ugly, I’m wearing them everyday!)
Sooo, after rambling on so much, here’s my basics:
- kmart bub2be bra’s on clearance for 15bucks a few pairs, as they do wear out, and your boobs go through so many sizes through preg & feeding
- kmart bub2be jeans usually 20-25 only really need one pair
- couple belly bands (would also be easy to make out of old t-shirts too)
- singlet tops & shirts/blouses/cardigans (any old types, op-shop, etc)
Don’t get fooled by maternity underwear, I mean, seriously!

Hey congrats!! I am actually keeping a bunch of clothes that are currently too big for me in the expectation that they will come in handy once I’m preggers.
