Now that your bump is growing and it is time to go shopping for maternity clothes in Saint John. head to google to only find out that the only relevant links are for stores that are CLOSED. I love our little port city but the lack of maternity clothing stores can be frustrating. However, after five pregnancies I have picked up a few tips to make a decent wardrobe for pregnancies!
Shopping in the city:
Head to Old Navy! They have a maternity section within the women’s section of the store. This is something somewhat recent to their store selection and the styles are cute and current.
Walmart has a small section and it is small (usually a rack or two). They often have basics like plain t-shirts and good jeans.
Try Value Village and Salvation Army, not a consistent section but you may find a gem!
Kijiji and Facebook Buy &Sells! These can be gold mines for people selling their entire wardrobes at once for the fraction of the cost!
Online:
Thyme Maternity Their prices can be set to Canadian and they have free shipping over $120, perfect for more professional pieces and special occasions.
Motherhood Maternity Popular designer name brands, and a current sale that is buy 4 and get one free. They also have a nice selection of plus size maternity clothes.
DIY:
Head to Pinterest and you can find some ideas how to adjust your current wardrobe or sewing your own. If you are handy with a needle and thread this may be a great option!
You may also be surprised by some regular clothes that will work great throughout your pregnancy like maxi dresses, sundresses with a sweater, longer fitting shirts, stretchy yoga pants.
Also do not forget about your undergarments! As your sizing changes due to your pregnancy you can head to Walmart for some maternity wear or into Quispamsis to The Bra Room.
I hope these tips will help our local expecting mama’s to find their maternity clothes in Saint John!
Frenchys has a selection too!
