I'm Currently Feeling: | Have you tried Ebay? I always shop there first! you can find some great bargains on there. - Also, with the bigger sizes, try to put those that come in at the waist and flare down (for tops) - that way they can accommodate an expanding belly! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Was going to say simply be but their range is VERY small. I am struggling too as I am size 30  so its hard enough normally. I don't think I will show that much tbh so I don't think it will be an issue, although I am only wearing PJs atm as comfiest thing to wear lol (Benefits of working at home) I am struggling finding bras and nursing PJs, have been looking for ready for the birth, I think I may have to just adapt a normal pair! Mothercare go up to size 20 btw |

| I was a size 16 when I got pregnant and am now a size 26! I just went to Evans and asked for help. I am not wearing any maternity clothes and I am 37+4 weeks now. I just wear normal clothes.
You may want to just try the non-maternity clothes at Simply Be. I picked up some lovely sun dresses and ordered sizes 22 and they are still big on me. As said, in Evans I was a size 26. Also, you may wish to look at clothing online in the U.S. as they tend to be made bigger and the range is better. However, you will pay extra on shipping and VAT when it arrives. But, with the dollar being so poorly, it may be worth it. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | So far i've been very lucky have bought a dress from mothercare and thats it! I'm only 12+4..... and still fitting very comfortably in my normal clothes, i'm a size 18 and i've found that i've lost a little weight since my BFP, think its to do with the fact i've PCOS and my body is sorting itself out now i'm pregnant!
Thanks for all the pointers people. I'll keep a look out for some bits in the near future |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i have a problem too as i need 20/22 in bottoms and most places only go up to a 18 mothercare never stock a size 20 and dorothy perkins never stock a size 20 neither does next it really peeves me off when they state their sizes only to find they have nothing bigger then an 18...but i went shopping in southampton and found a shop called Pumpkin Patch i think they go up to XL im not sure wat size that actually is but the XL was to big for me so i got the L so it mite be worth trying there if u need to x x x
i would have done ebay but i need to try the clothes on before i buy as every place is different for me x x x |
