Hey girls, think its time i need to invest in some maternity clothes!
Would anyone be able to recommend some stores to me, in the UK?
I'm not lookin to spend a lot of money as I dont see the point, but at the same time would like to look fashionable and not like a fat frump lol.
Thanks

Topshop have some nice stuff, so do H&M and Dorothy Perkins. Also there is Next & Newlook have started a maternity range too.
You can get some good stuff online too like from seraphine.com but they're quite pricey and funmum.com which is a bit better in price but I think it's best to be able to buy in a shop and try the clothes on. Especially trousers because every pregnant woman has a different shape and also your shape changes as you get further on.
I got some trousers which I thought were way too big in the legs when I first had to wear maternity stuff but they fit just fine now. Clearly I've gained weight on my legs and bum but didn't no!

new look and dorothy perkins are really cheap and fashionable at the same time, aslo debenhams red herring maternity range. If you want a good pair of jeans then i suggest topshop, because they have loads of types available, they may be a little pricey, but at the same time they are a worth while investment, because i live in mine xx

I agree for jeans topshop are the best. Personally I prefer the under bump ones with the stretchy panels because the over or on bump ones always fall down and the ones with the elastic and buttons inside dig in. I don't know if it's the same for everyone though.

I found New Look have a decent range at a reasonable price. Smart work trousers are approx £15, combats £10 and tops range from £5 to £22. They are quite generous on their sizes ( that made me feel good!)
