You can buy maternity pants from JCPenney and Oldnavy. Visit the stores when they have 70 off etc. I get the ones on sale that won' t cost more than 20$. I found some good pants in Target sale section too, depends on the city, you' ll find good stuff in sale. Try bigger target in different city too. For my first time I had checked in many possible stores, so now I didn' t hv to shop. Just buy few pants and use it, don' t buy a lot. You can check motherhood maternity(in malls), macy' s, kohls, babiesrus also, or try some outlet malls before big sale time. It will be good walking exercise for you too... :-) Hope it helps.
