Store

Motherhood Maternity is a good first stop. The store, a national chain with locations at many local major malls including Northgate Mall, Westlake Center, Bellevue Square and more, is known for its bargain-barrel prices (tops start as low as $14.99) and nice selection of maternity staples. And, as proven on a recent visit, if you're looking for style, you'll find it here too.

My favorite Motherhood find? The gorgeous A-Line Embellished Border Print Skirt ($39.98; available in-store or at www.motherhood.com.) As with all maternity clothing purchases, be sure to inquire about the return policy. At Motherhood, for example, all sale-rack purchases, along with lingerie and accessories, are final. Regular priced clothing may be returned within 10 days, but only for in-store credit.
