Old Navy maternity shopping review. =)
Note: For non-maternity items, I went one size higher than my pre-preg size. Works out well for most items. For maternity items, go with pre-pregnancy size.
(Soul, I'm abt the same size as your wifey. But shorter. I'm 160.)

Colour : Black Jack
Size: M
Price in USD: 19.94
Clearance item: Yes
Planet's Feedback: Love it! This is not under maternity wear but it's perfect! Fits me now and it's very stretchable so I'm sure it can last till third tri. Can wear to work and everywhere else. Can wear pre and post-natal. I love the fold-over series because they are stretchy yet does NOT bite into the skin.
Item #2
Item Name: Women's Roll-Over Jersey Minis
URL:
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=8097360320002&cid=26190
Colour : Rose
Size: M
Price in USD : $4.97
Planet's Feedback: Love it! Comfy and versatile. BUT the size runs big. M feels like an L. Can probably start wearing it about a month later. Confirm can wear till the very last month. Color is more like a dark fuchsia pink.
Item #3
Item Name: Women's Fold-Over Lounge Gauchos
URL:
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=6461800020002&cid=26190
Colour : Heather charcoal
Size: M
Price in USD : 14.50
Price after 20%: 11.60
Planet's Feedback: Not bad. Very comfy. Size is okaaay I guess. Abit big for now but a couple wks later shld fit just nice. Very stretchy. Length is abit awkward.. it falls just below the knees. It's also abit baggy so best to match with a fitting tank or tshirt, if not we'll look like whales.
Item #4
Item Name: Maternity Long Layering Tanks
URL:
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=6111650620001&cid=26239
Colour : Brown
Size: S
Price in USD : 3.97
Planet's feedback: Not great but ok for the price. Normal long tank. Note that for maternity clothings, please buy according to your pre-pregnant size. This is not super stretchy and it's rib-knit so it feels abit rough. I bought a couple of this cos everyone complains being constantly hot so I thought I'd invest in more long tank tops. Can wear after pregnancy too.
Item #5
Item Name: Maternity Mix & Match Bikini Bottoms
URL:
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=8184160120002&cid=26239
Colour : Black
ALT : Same in Cerise color
Size: M
Price in USD : 4.97
Planet's feedback: Too big!! Sobz! Lucky it was on clearance. Remember, buy pre-pregnant size for maternity wear! I might be able to fit into this in my 6-7th month.
Item #6
Item Name: Maternity Full-Panel Denim Leggings
URL:
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=7965860020006&cid=26242
Colour : Denim
Size: 6
Quantity: 1
Price in USD : 17.97
Planet's feedback: Best buy!! Love this! The waist band is super comfy!! I haven't felt so good in jeans for ages!! It's supposed to be denim leggings but it looks and feel exactly like jeans once u cover up the elastic waist band. I think the elastic belly pouch thing can probably last until 6-7 mths? I'm not sure if it can accomodate a 8-9 mths belly. And altho this is under maternity, I got one size larger than my pre-pregnant size cos some reviews says it runs small. I got 1 size up but I think if you want to wear all the way till 8-9 mths, can consider getting 2 size up.
Item #7
Item Name: Maternity Jersey-Stretch Tanks
URL:
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=8116710020001&cid=26246
Colour : Bright white
Size: S
Price in USD: 9.00
Price after 20%: 7.20
Planet's feedback: This is slightly too big for me, just slightly. A few wks more and it shld be more fitting. Much better material than the other tanks mentioned above. Probably because it's higher price too.
That's all I got in this spree. I focused more on basic and versatile 2-pc items that can last for a longer period (ideally during and post preggers). I also waited for a 20% sale and combined shipping with more pple so shipping for each item was about S$4. Hope this helps!
