heya littlestar 
I was kinda wondering the same thing, I am size 16 (am tall) but can't fit my normal clothes as my pants are tight round my stomach now, so I wear skirts but did buy some maternity cargos from the warehouse which you can adjust the sides to suit as they have an elastic band and are so comfy.
im hoping they will fit til the end hahaha or is that just wishful thinking

Pumpkin patch stuff is much roomier than JK or egg.
There was a tread on plus size maternity clothes a few months ago.

I have just brought a few pieces of plus size (16) clothing from places like Farmers and Glassons.
We are lucky that most of the styles lend themselves to maternity clothing at the moment. I would loathe to be pregnant over the winter as I think clothes shopping would be a lot harder.

I never lost the 'second stomach' with Maya or lil miss, I did with the gremlins but my bump was still kind of square, like SimSams in shape but muuuuuch bigger  . I was really bummed about it with Maya coz I never really looked pregnant till I was full term but it bothered me less with lil miss, maybe coz I got to have the big bump with the gremlins.
As for maternity clothes, my best buy was a pair of sz 18 JK bootlegs that were the only pair of pants that still fitted me by the time the gremlins were born, they fit great and were nice and comfy. I also loved my PP jeans, also a sz 18 and I was more like a 20 at the time I got preg. With lil miss I was a 22 pre preg and found K and K's hipster cut pants were great to go under the bump and they go up to a 24, and they also do some really comfy trackies and some tops fit a bump.

I got some good comfy clothes from PP (outlet store in Westgate), some Mummy Tummys jeans that came right up over my bump, and some good solid pieces from Kmart. I bought lots of comfy tunic style tops from Warehouse too.

This isn't the best pic, but this is 28 weeks with lil miss, you can see the dent in the middle...
And this is 30-odd weeks with the gremlins, you can see the funny shape...
And my square belly at 36/5 just before they were born...
