You can use pant button extenders in the beginning to help add a few inches to the waistband. Yoga pants are good as well if you have those. If you have pants or skirts with elastic you might be able to wear those for a while as well.

Maternity Shirts
You'll probably want a few maternity shirts to wear you can only wear regular clothes for so long before you start to look like you're wearing a tent. Others go out and buy a bunch of tunics

Maternity Dresses
Be sure to buy one nice dress for maternity photos. You can always sell it later on.

Bras and Underwear

You're a mother and you should be proud of the body you have.
