The créme de la créme of maternity fashion? A Pea in the Pod. You can easily drop $240 for a pair of pants and $165 for a sweater, but this retailer is worth a visit — if only to get some good ideas. Known for its designer lineup (from Diane von Furstenberg to Shoshanna), A Pea in the Pod has dressed celebrity moms-to-be for years, and the chain is happy to name drop: Britney Spears, Cynthia Nixon and Kelly Ripa, just to mention a few.

If you're in the mood to splurge, choose an incredible piece that you can wear and enjoy throughout your entire pregnancy, such as the beautifully constructed Quilted Jacket in black and white ($325). Be sure to check the sale rack too, where you'll find dramatic discounts suitable for the non-celebrity budget.
