4 Months pregnant and I need suggestions on what to wear to work?

I’m an attorney – but not one that makes a lot of money :) I’m 4 months pregnant and my suits are starting to get a tight. I’m sure that in about 2-3 weeks I’m going to need some new things. When I went to motherhood none of the things were nice enough to wear to my office (very corporate). I went to Pea in the Pod but its outrageously expensive.
Where are some places I can get some nice suits for work so I don’t look tacky in the courtroom?
And – where can I can get good pantyhose for during pregnancy?

I found a great article on this subject…..follow the link below. It gives most of the suggestions I had in mind and some I hadn’t thought of.
1) thrift & consignment stores
2) look at men’s clothes and women’s clothes in a larger size, especially loose-fitting dresses. You may be able to find something that works or would work under a jacket.
Go ahead and splurge on one really great year-round maternity suit in a neutral color. You should be able to find a variety of shells and blouses to put under it at department stores or discount maternity shops. Change it up with accessories, scarves, etc. and make sure it is easy care so you can do a quick turnaround and wear it again. A lot of the styles right now are the trapeze and baby doll empire waisted things anyway–they make everyone look like they’re pregnant.
3) Check the classifieds in your area or look on e-bay. If you are a popular size, you may get lucky and be able to buy a lot of items from someone who just had a baby. Try networking with other career moms you know–I remember both borrowing and lending maternity outfits to others in my neighborhood, church, and social circle.

The best maternity hose I found reasonably priced were at Motherhood.
