Looking for sustainable styles to wear while you’re pregnant? More designers and maternity shops are going green to supply fashion-forward maternity styles for green mamas. Several online stores carry a variety of organic and sustainable maternity fashions.

Search local thrift stores near you for maternity wear, or turn to the net to shop at sites featuring reused maternity clothes. See the resources below to find both new and reused eco-friendly maternity wear.
