I'm Currently Feeling: | maternity clothes how much do you have? i figure ill be bigger in the summer and dont want to over do it now, but i also dont want to stretch out my normal clothes
this is what i have so far
two jean skirts
1 fancy skirt
1 fancy shirt
2 undershirts
2 sweaters
1 long sleeved shirt
do u think i can pull this off until the end of winter?
i still feel like its not much and i do wear some of my regular shirts even tho im afraid of stretching them coz pregnancy stuff is EXPENSIVE!

I'm Currently Feeling: | At the moment all I have is two pairs of relatively smart trousers to use for work. I´m not showing that much, but I can´t get into normal trousers and jeans comfortably anymore. Tops are OK at the moment, as its still cold, so am using jumpers etc.
I bought a couple of short sleeved maternity tops that were reduced in the sale and have put them aside for the summer time, but if bump starts to grow big time between now and then I can always wear them with a cardigan to keep warm.
At weekends I tend to wear tracksuit bottoms and a couple of pairs of loose fitting linen trousers, which I can still fit into. Hopefully that will get me through the winter, as I don´t want to buy too many winter maternity stuff as the majority of it I´ll need in the summer. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I have a surprising amount but I don't like most of it so still want more!!
I've got some good, plain long sleeve shirts from Dorothy Perkins, a long sleeved, white shirt from H&M, a black one and a floral one from Mothercare and a blue jumper from next. Most of the tops I quite like & I've found a couple in my regular clothes which still fit ok.
As for trousers I've got those roll top black ones from Next, a nice pair of underbump jeans from next and a black pair of cargo pants from Dorothy Perkins which are the only ones I like.
Then I have a TERRIBLE pair of over bump jeans from mothercare, some not very nice jeans from the littlewoods catalogue because they always fall down and make my bum look strange and an ok pair from next and again littlewoods.
I really want some from Topshop but OH said no as I already have so many.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | All am doing is buying leggins and baggy tops, the leggins r about £7 a go or something and the tops well am just getting size 12 tops so there big and baggy on me, whats the point in splashing out on expensive maternity clothes when you wont be really wearing them for too long will you. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've found wearing my OH hooded sweaters the best for winter. Most maternity clothes still make me look like a moo moo. I do own a pair of work pants and a pair of jeans that are maternity. I bought them at week 16 and I still have room to stretch if need be which is great because I wont have to buy another pair! |
