13 Ways to Score the Best Deals on Stylish Maternity Clothes

It’s a pretty exciting time once your pregnancy transitions from feeling bloated to celebrating the moment when your little bump starts to show. You can finally look as pregnant as you feel. Not only that, but it’s a fun excuse to go shopping! On the other hand, you’re investing in a wardrobe that has a definite expiration date. To keep your budget and your maternity outfit choices on point, here’s a list of where to shop and save to maintain your fresh style.

Best Places to Borrow

Your maternity style won’t be a permanent part of your wardrobe, so why spend like it is? Kill your commitment issues and sign up to rent clothes instead.

1. Le Tote: For a monthly fee, you can have a stylist hand-select items for your maternity wardrobe. Once your selections are ready, you can view what was picked and swap out items as you like. You can wear what you receive for as long as you like and then send items back when you’re ready for something new. If you like anything enough to keep it forever, you can purchase it outright for a discounted price. Bonus: Shipping is free both ways.

2. Mine for Nine: Do you have a formal event, job interview, or big presentation on the agenda while you’re expecting? Skip buying something that you’ll truly never wear again, and rent an outfit instead. From casual to formal, this rental service for expectant mamas offers a huge selection of sizes and styles for rent and purchase.

3. Borrow for Your Bump: This service offers one-time rentals for formal wear and a subscription option for stylist-selected outfits. If you opt in to the subscription service, you can cycle through clothes as often or as infrequently as you like. You can purchase items from your style kit as well, in case you end up liking something enough to keep it.

Best Places to Thrift

Love second-hand deals, but not sure where to start when searching for maternity sizes? Luckily you can browse the racks of thrifty maternity treasures from the comfort of your couch. Here are some favorites to get you saving and styling in no time.

1. ThredUP: This online consignment shop is a great place to buy or sell maternity and baby clothes. That’s right — you can shop for you and your little one in a single online bargain hunt. And if you’re looking for something to complete your outfit, you can also snag a deal or two on items like handbags, shoes, and non-maternity styles. Even better, if your maternity duds are still in like-new condition once you’re done with them, you can consign them yourself and make a little money back.

2. Motherhood Closet: You can buy, borrow, sell, or sign up for a grab bag of stylist-selected gently used clothes, all from this one site. Size options range from x-small to xxx-large, and the selection ranges from style basics to designer threads.

3. Swap.com: Impatient thrifters, rejoice! A major perk of this site is that it allows you to filter your search by size, season, brand, and clothing condition and type. If sifting through pages of clothes isn’t your jam, but saving a lot of money is, you’ll find a good fashion sidekick here.

4. Tradesy: Do you have a designer denim fetish, but you can’t bring yourself to pay full retail for jeans you’ll only wear for a short amount of time? Then Tradesy is your jackpot. Best of all, this thrift site offers a generous return policy. If you buy something and don’t love it, you can send it back via free shipping to receive credit toward your next purchase.

Best Deals to Buy New

Bargain hunting isn’t limited to borrowed or thrifted selections. You can score a pretty good deal on a brand-spanking-new wardrobe too. Take a look at these favorites to treat yourself to a little something without crushing your credit card balance.

1. H&M Maternity: This fast-fashion favorite will keep you on trend for all nine months without breaking the bank. Also, everything you buy online can be returned in store. So if you have an H&M nearby, you can shop and try on clothes at home without the risk of forgetting to ship something back in time for a refund or exchange.

2. ASOS Maternity: From super-casual brunch outfits all the way to dresses for special events, ASOS offers pages of options to dress your bump in style. The prices range from crazy budget-friendly to a little on the high-end side of shopping. So you can save on some items and splurge a little too, if you’re really feeling it. You can also find a good variety of affordable post-baby nursing options for your Insta-ready #OOTD.

3. Gap Maternity: Stock up on style basics, sweaters, denim, and super-cozy loungewear to snuggle up in, all from one familiar store. Also, Gap cycles through pretty hefty sales nearly every month of the year, so your chances of scoring an affordable outfit or two on the cheap are pretty good! Word to the wise: Not every maternity item purchased online is eligible for return in a Gap store. However, the online return eligibility is noted on each product page, so be sure to look for it if you’re on the fence about whether or not those pants will fit.

4. Old Navy Maternity: Shop by the trimester, or click on the maternity starter kit to browse layer-ready basics that will give your maternity style a kick-start without busting the budget. Warning: There’s also a huge selection of hard-to-resist baby clothes that may tempt you to spend a little more than you intended.

5. Pink Blush: From effortless boho-cool to edgy street style, this site offers a variety of options to keep your maternity look and your bank account in check through every trimester. And if you’re cruising for the perfect getup for your shower, you can easily narrow down the selection by browsing through the “baby shower” category on the site, where you’ll find a variety of options for an effortlessly cool look.

6. Target Maternity: Here’s a tip for saving the most money on maternity clothes from Target: Shop online. Save yourself the temptation of wandering into every other department by keeping your focus on the task at hand. You’ll be able to stock up on everything from nursing bras and exercise clothes to work-ready outfits all while staying within your intended spending limit. Bonus: If you have the Target Redcard, you’ll be able to score free shipping and five percent off your entire order (including sale items).

Nicole Kidman is, as the kids say, mothering. She's giving fans plenty of movies and TV shows to pick from while we wait for the next seasons of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect StrangersA Family Affair, Expats, The Perfect Couple (and the AMC intro, of course). Her newest movie Babygirl comes from A24, and the steamy drama is mixing work and pleasure. Pour yourself a glass of wine for this one, folks.

Scroll down to learn more about Babygirl — and to watch the HOT new trailer!

What is the plot of Babygirl?

A24

Babygirl Plot

In Babygirl, Nicole Kidman plays Romy, a powerful CEO struggling to hold her perfect persona together. Her marriage to Jacob has never provided with much pleasure, despite the fact he's caring and artistic. But when Romy meets a young intern named Samuel, and feels immediately drawn to him, the two begin a torrid affair.

And filming scenes with Harry Dickinson got so intense, Kidman said she literally had to take breaks. “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more,'” she told the Sun. “Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!”

But the fact the movie was made by women empowered Kidman — and gave her a sense of freedom. "Doing this subject matter in the hands of the woman that wrote the script, that's directing it and is a really great actress herself — we became one in a weird way, which I'd never had with a director before," Kidman says in a statement. "When you're working with a woman on this subject matter, you can share everything with each other.”

"I really decided in the beginning, I want to make a sexual film, just as sexual as all these films that I've always admired so much," adds writer-director-producer Halina Reijn, "but now I'm going to do it completely through female eyes. What does that mean and what does that look like?”

When is the Babygirl release date?

A24

Babygirl Release Date

Babygirl made its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, but you can watch the movie in theaters December 25, 2024.

Who's in the Babygirl cast?

A24

Babygirl Cast

The cast of Babygirl includes Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Sophie Wilde, and Antonio Banderas.

What has Nicole Kidman said about making Babygirl?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman revealed Babygirl is the most "exposing" film she's done because she's “made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this.”

“It left me raggedm" Kidman says. "At some point I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was compelled to do it...This is something you do and hide in your home videos. It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world.”

“I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being,” she continues. “I had to go in and go out like, I need to put my protection back on. What have I just done? Where did I go? What did I do?”

What does babygirl energy mean?

A24

"Babygirl" is a term of endearment that's usually applied to a man (you've probably heard it describe Pedro Pascal or Paul Mescal). When someone is giving babygirl energy, they're kind, cute, and disarming. And considering Babygirl plays with power dynamics, we could be guessing who the "babygirl" in question is up until the very end.

Yellowstone season 5B is here! Twisters might have been THE summer movie of 2024, but the western vibes aren't going away, even after the Glen Powell movie has left theaters. The second half of Yellowstone season 5 returned to Paramount November 10 and it did not disappoint. 16.4 million viewers tuned into the premiere over a variety of networks — making it the most-watched season premiere in the show's history.

And it's a major season for one very specific reason: Kevin Costner isn't returning as John Dutton. The star decided to exit the series after season 5's eighth episode premiered in January 2023, but as big of a change is this is, Costner is still an executive producer on the series, giving it a familiarity fans will appreciate.

Yellowstone has always been dramatic, but in the Yellowstone season 5 first look, you can just feel the tension from fan favorites like Beth Dutton, Monica Long, and Kayce Dutton. And no wonder: the Duttons' family drama is coming to a head, and it looks like someone might not make it out alive. Read up on everything you need to know about the new season of Yellowstone, and check out why Paramount+'s New Drama Landman Is Perfect For Yellowstone Fans.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about the final season of Yellowstone.

Is Kevin Costner in Yellowstone season 5 part 2?

Paramount

No Kevin Costner is not in the second half of Yellowstone season 5, and we find out the fate of his character John Dutton immediately. When Beth and Kayce find John dead in the bathroom, Beth immediately suspects foul play and blames it on Jamie. Well, Kevin is finally speaking on his character's end, and told The Michael Smerconish Programon November 11 that he actually didn't know the show had premiered the night before.

“I’m going to be perfectly honest. I didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” he says. “That’s a swear-to-God moment. I’ve been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I’m thinking, ‘Gee, I’m not in that one.’ But I didn’t realize yesterday was the thing...I heard it’s a suicide, so that doesn’t make me want to rush to go see it.”

But even if Kevin isn't over the moon about watching his character die, he doesn't have any bad blood with the writers. “They’re pretty smart people,” he continues. “Maybe it’s a red herring. Who knows? They’re very good. And they’ll figure that out.”

Well, the actor told Entertainment Tonight that he STILL hasn't seen the season 5 premiere as of November 17. “I didn’t watch it, so I don’t really have any thoughts about it,” he said. Due to delays from the writer's strike, and a tug-of-war between Paramount saying Kevin couldn't film new episodes and Kevin saying creator Taylor Sheridan took too long to write the scripts, the actor chose to leave the series, reportedly in part to promote his Horizon movie franchise.

“I gave this thing five seasons,” the actor told The Hollywood Reporterthis summer. “I was really happy to do it. And I don’t need drama. So, let’s just take that drama away, let’s take the guessing [away]. The fans have been way too good to me. And my obligation is to go on and continue to make things that mean something to them.”

What is Yellowstone season 5 about?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Plot

The series introduced us to the Duttons, a powerful family in charge of America's biggest contiguous cattle ranch. Every season has been gritty and powerful, and in the fifth season, we've seen John become Montana's governor and make Beth his chief of staff. But with Jamie trying to take the power away from his dad, the Duttons are fighting each other like we've never seen — especially when Jamie and Beth start considering how to get away with murder.

Luke Grimes recently told Entertainment Weekly how pleased he is with the finale, and Kelly Reilly revealed creator Taylor Sheridan actually told her the ending to the series while they filmed season 1.

“I read the last episode the day before we started filming,” Luke says. “I couldn't be happier. I think it's a perfect ending for the show for every character. It's just a testament to what a good writer Taylor is, and it's a very, very profound, beautiful ending. I can't wait to sit down and watch it one day.”

Is Yellowstone season 5 part 2 out yet?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Release Date

Yes, Yellowstone season 5 part 2 premiered on Paramount November 10, 2024. You can watch new episodes every Sunday.

The series filmed in Montana during the summer of 2024.

Who's in the cast of Yellowstone season 5?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Cast

The cast of Yellowstone season 5 includes Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Luke Grimes, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Finn Little, Cole Hauser, Gil Birmingham, Wendy Moniz, and Mo Brings Plenty.

Where can I watch season 5 part 1 of Yellowstone?

Paramount

The first half of Yellowstone season 5 is now streaming on Peacock.

Will there be a season 6 of Yellowstone?

Paramount

It's always hard to say goodbye to a beloved show, but despite reports that Yellowstone would end with season 5, it looks like we could be getting a Yellowstone season 6 after all. Deadline confirmed that negotiations are happening for a potential continuation, which would focus on Kelly Reilly's Beth and Cole Hauser's Rip.

Reilly told Entertainment Weekly ahead of the season 5 premiere that "Beth is more like a wild animal this season than ever. When I read the scripts, it made me think [that] she is, for the first time, maybe afraid she will lose it for [her dad]."

"It's dark, brutal and desperate stuff — gaining power, losing it, defending and fighting," she continues. "It's bloody and at times beautiful in how it breaks them into their core selves." The setup for a potential season 6 will totally depend on how season 5 ends — and how it affects Beth, Rip, and the rest of the family.
