Nordstrom has been a cornerstone of American retail since its humble beginnings in 1901, when Swedish immigrant John W. Nordstrom and his partner Carl F. Wallin opened a small shoe store in Seattle, Washington. Over the years, Nordstrom evolved from a regional shoe chain to a full-line department store, expanding its offerings to include clothing and accessories for men, women, and children. Still headquartered in Seattle, Nordstrom continues to thrive as a leading luxury department store chain, including its popular off-price division, Nordstrom Rack, known for its commitment to style and customer satisfaction.

Exciting selection of brands and clothing styles

Nordstrom is an excellent choice for expectant and nursing moms, offering an impressive selection of maternity clothing that caters to various styles and budgets. With over 1,500 items in their inventory, you'll find everything from designer, Oscar-worthy gowns to affordable, everyday essentials, making it easy to build your perfect maternity wardrobe. You'll even find some of the brands we've reviewed separately in their inventory (but helpful hint and spoiler alert: Nordstrom is much more customer-friendly with shipping and returns, so you're better off getting those brands here).

Budget-friendly options abound

Let's say that budget is your biggest concern. You might think that a department store like Nordstrom is going to be out of reach. Think again. Some of the pieces we found under $30 included Kindred Bravely's underwear (in thong, boyshort, and briefs) for $15.90, Everly Grey's Vanessa Polka Dot Tie Neck Maternity/Nursing Top for $19.99, Bravado Designs' Everyday Muse Wireless Contour Bra for $24.50, and Angel Maternity's Over the Bump Maternity Leggings for $29.95. Of course, if there are other criteria that matter, Nordstrom lets you easily filter by color, product type (dresses, jackets), style, length, and much more.

Wonderfully size-inclusive

And sizing? Three cheers to Nordstrom, because they go from XXS to 3XL in their maternity clothing inventory. It can be hard to find retailers who have something for almost everyone, especially in this category, but Nordstrom genuinely seems to believe that all women deserve to be comfortable, beautiful, or both while they're expecting.

Designer, upscale maternity clothes too? Yes!

Because Nordstrom carries literally every kind of maternity clothing a woman could need, we always like seeing what the biggest-ticket items are in their inventory too. We weren't disappointed: there were several maternity gowns by Tiffany Rose that we would love to find in non-maternity options too, like the Aria Off the Shoulder Metallic design and the Isabella Long Sleeve Glitter style as well (all priced at $490 to $600). Who says that you can't be runway-ready AND ready to deliver?

Most generous shipping and returns anywhere

One of the biggest perks of shopping at Nordstrom is their free shipping and returns policy on all purchases - yes, on every order, regardless of how much or little you order. If you need your items quickly, you can often opt for free in-store pickup at a Nordstrom location near you. Simply change the option on the product page and check the availability for your chosen size. And those returns? Nordstrom is the biggest friend to mamas-to-be who might have a hard time figuring out what fits and when, because they put no time limit on returns or exchanges, and they don't even require returns to be unworn and unused. So, if those leggings wear out between the thighs or that shirt doesn't cover your big, beautiful bump for as long as you hoped... Nordstrom literally says that their "ultimate goal” is to make their customers happy. Yes, please and thank you from moms everywhere.

Help is a click away via live chat

Even their pre-purchase help is on point. You can use their "Chat Now" feature for product recommendations, general help, or even free style advice from their experts - when you're just not sure which shirt to put under that blazer, or which items would best go into a 9-month capsule wardrobe.

Let other mamas' reviews guide you

Unsurprisingly, Nordstrom gets a flawless "A+” rating from the Better Business Bureau for the way it does business across all of its departments. Your best bet with respect to maternity clothing, though, is to look at the shopper reviews on individual items - and we're so happy that Nordstrom puts those on display right in the preview list, instead of making you click on each piece to see what other shoppers thought overall. You can tell that Nordstrom lets them give it to you straight - from the 4.1-star average across 530+ reviews on Zella's Mamasana Live In Ankle Maternity Leggings ($41.40), to the Nom Maternity Amy Sweater that only got 2.1 stars overall from six unhappy wearers.

Best one-stop shop for all types of maternity clothing

So, why choose Nordstrom for your maternity clothes? It's simple: they offer the best selection, a super convenient shopping experience, and top-notch customer service. Whether you're after designer pieces, classic looks for work, or just something comfy that you won't dread putting on in the morning, Nordstrom has everything you need to feel stylish and at ease throughout your pregnancy. Plus, with free shipping and returns, you can shop at Nordstrom with no worries. It's no wonder they're still our #1 pick for maternity clothing.
