Maternity clothes

Minoush
By Minoush

Any advice on where to buy maternity clothes? So far, the few malls I've looked has either a terrible selection (i.e. a selection of 3 different items) or the prices are out of control.

I'm to the point of buying online and paying to ship.

Any ideas?

(Please, serious comments only, I'm in no mood for sarcastic,silly, male humor this morning...)

During these first three months, take some mental notes about the clothing you tend to wear, including the colors and styles. Berghaus coats

Ugh, I wore an abaya while I was pregnant and I thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion!

Marco, how do you know they are comfy? Are you wearing one? In fact, they are not particularly comfy...they are hot and you stumble over the hem all the time....

i share the same sentiments with you with my 2 consecutive pregnancies. on my 1st child, i got most of my maternity clothes from my country. i got good pairs of jeans in Mothercare in Debenhams in CC and tops in H&M. on my 2nd, i got everything (from short/long dress, tops and bottoms) online and have it shipped thru shop and ship via aramex.

Wow!! Thanks everyone!! This is the most help I have ever received on QL!!

I will definity keep you all updated as I shop.

I need clothes for work, otherwise I would be in t-shirts and yoga pants all day.

Plus, I'm a midwestern gal from the States (if you catch my drift) size 10 shoe, 5'8" tall, etc... cute little petite stuff you find at specialty stores doesn't work for me!

hello Pink Hippo, the problem with big size clothes is that they slope over the shoulders and just hang limp, like a bedsheet.totally out of shape.pregnant and hormonally charged, the last thing one needs is to not look and feel pretty :-)

ishu, trade fairs usually dont keep these clothes, yup you can get those loose jalabiyas for 30 Qars each, very comfy to wear at home.hope they have not increased the prices.

IndiaK and ishu, the shops mentioned here are the ones to check out, you wont get more choices than this, unless you decide to shop online or you opt for tailor made clothes.Also each ones style is different, so you really gotto go and hunt for these clothes.

Why does it have to be maternity clothes?? just buy bigger size clothes with elasticated waist..Or like you said leggings and tee-shirts..So long as your comfortable,that's all that matters

By Indiak• 3 Jan 2012 10:37

Hey Minoush, please keep us updated with your recommendations once you are done shopping. We have been searching for a decent mother care store as well.

I got a few tops from Mother care at villagio.And recently I got few dresses from Max at Barwa Village.The price at Max is pretty reasonable.They have formal trousers too.

hi azi, NWC has got nothing.....they used to have full length dresses, now nothing, and you wouldnt feel like picking up anything, or maybe I was there on the wrong day, they were having some crazy promotion going on and it was flooded with shoppers.

Its near Grand Hamad street, they sell affordable maternity clothes...

also try Ansar Gallery, 4th Floor City Centre,

I agree - Pretty bad - even worse if you want to buy something for work. H+M are fine if you are looking for casual but that is it. BHS does not have a maternity section (I asked in the one in Landmark) and mothercare is very expensive - perhaps order over the internet?

If you want a bargain, try shopping at Mr. Price in Hyatt Plaze. Prices range from 60 QAR - 100 QAR, lower prices compared to the other branded shops.

Thanks all! Yes a trip to CC will be in my near future. Also, I think leggings with long loose tops.

I know of a good tailor who can make some blouses for me.

Based on all our comments, a trip to City centre is on the cards :-). You should find what you are looking for in atleast one shop there.

You can also check Chico.

hi Minoush, you will have to go to Mothercare at CC, because apparently all maternity wear from other MC shops are to shift to MC of CC, if not already there.

You need to visit the MC inside Debenhams.

The locals wear the abbaya, so a loose gown inside ( the jalabiyas, more like the house maxis) is not visible to anybody. Among Asian clothes there are many loose tops in style right now, with lycra tights, so again no problems there.

Getting T's is not an issue, as long as you are okay with it hugging you tight all day. The trouser style, is the low bump style right now, and it doesnt really fall off.H&M had the high waist trousers.

not sure about baby shop for Maternity clothes, else you may have to try the large clothes section, like Evans, if you are looking for comfy tops.

Check Giordano as well, they dont have maternity, but they usually have these loose comfy linen trousers that you can tie under the bump.

I tried H&M and their selection was ok. The only problem were the pants had this new fangled design where the waist is supposed to sit below your waist and it felt like my pants were about to fall down. Just too hip and cool for me. I'm old and I need mom jeans! :-)

I will try BHS.

I'm used to Target and discount stores. The idea of paying $80-$100 for a pair of pants that I will wear for 6 months is impossible.

Checked online, shipping from Motherhood Maternity from the States is $70 for a ton of clothes. I think I will just do that....

Thanks ladies!

(and thank you men for holding in your impossibly crude comments that you all love to make on every thread!)

Haven't tried Mothercare at CC. I hate going there but I may have to...

M&S does not have a Maternity section.

I don't get this... every local has at least 5 kids, plus every expat seems to be pregnant. Where do they all shop for clothes?

hi Minoush, I think you probably tried these shops already, ie, mothercare,marks and spencer, BHS, Next.

Yup selection is awful, and prices are ouch.

Have you tried H&M? They did have many trousers, price range was 160-250Qar. The other thing to do would be to invest in good pair of basic colour trousers and get your tops stitched.
