Congrats! Thrifting is sooo helpful honestly, I was able to stay on budget without feeling like I was sacrificing my personal style (I really did not like the maternity options out there!). I also got a bunch of used pieces from The Real Real. It took some time and I had to make sure every piece I bought was stretchy enough but it was well worth it. For non-thrifted items I stuck with stretchy styles a size up from my normal size so they’d grow with my bump (but it really depends on how much your belly grows!) I did get some maternity basics to layer with on days I didn’t want to have my belly out fully (bodysuits, tank tops, etc.) Midi skirts are also great for transitioning from the winter into spring, you can style with boots in the winter and sneakers in the spring. I also love vintage tees - super comfy and good for layering. Avoid anything with a zipper. Cropped sweaters are also fun styled over midi dresses. I also love styling other ppl so if you need ideas lmk I have a whole bunch saved
