I'd been having no luck with finding Plus sized maternity clothing in stores - most don't carry them and when they do the section is abysmal. So in a retail-plague filled funk one day at work I thought it would be a GRAND idea to write my favorite online blogger/advice columnist and ask for advice. My letter came out a bit more ... whiny .... than I had actually intended but I think what it did was outline just how bad my depression and anxiety was getting. Also, just how much this issue was bothering me on a regular basis. I didn't even realize I was this upset. I'm super happy with the responses, and especially the comments section. I got lots of internet hugs and no one was upset with me for being jealous of skinny pregnant moms and their awesome bodies and fashion. :)
You can read my letter and Amalah's response here: Plus Size Maternity Clothing Letter
So in the interest of keeping my placenta brain from forgetting all the awesome linked advice, I will now put it here for reference for myself and other bigger mamas out there who need resources.

Now I must get ready to leave the house and got to Old Navy and pick up some tops. I'd like to get some clothes that make me feel and look good, instead of just baggy things because they "fit". Oh, and eat Sushi. Without raw fish, of course. Mmmm.....Sushi.
