Well finally, I got to the only shop in our town that sells maternity wear (talk about spoilt for choice!) and got myself a pair of black pants. Well black pants will go with anything, dress up, dress down. They are a little long so going into "seamstress" mode later, they are also a little big but I am sure I will grow into them very soon!!!! They had a gorgeous pair of linen beige pants with a pale black pin stripe and they were sooooo comfy, but M was too small (they are small sizes over here!!) and they other pair were XL!!!!! NO L!!!! Gutted.

Anyway, my sisters are sending me over some of their old mat' clothes, new to me though and I can't wait. So gone are days of wearing my combats with a top to hide the fact my top button is undone, gone are the days of wearing my jeans ....... with top button undone, here are days I wear the same black pants day in and day out and sit and walk in comfort!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, luxury!! Just waiting for my parcel now!

good for you and your pants! ha ha

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one walking around with tops covering the top of my jeans so no one could see I had buttons undone nice! The problem was I kept forgetting and my top would ride up
I did however treat myself to some new maternity jeans and boy were they comfy and got one pair of work trousers too so nice to feel comfy isn't it!?!

still trying to find elasticated skirts and things I can still wear at the moment that don't make me look fat and frumpy!!!

do any online stores ship outside the UK? I bet you can't wait for your packages from your sisters!

xxxx

I love getting packages. Had one already from mum, bargains from the sales of last years autumn/winter gear. Well babs will be here in time for the next one so great timing for sale bargains!!!!

I have my only piece of clothing on that fits. It's a skirt that I hardly ever wore before I got pregnant and I've had it about 3 years!!!! It is from New Look and it is long so great for now and in early summer, it has a side zip so I can lift the waistband above bump and all tops hide that fact!!!! Trouble is it's black so hot hot hot in the summer!!

Congratulations on your first maternity item!!

Cool! So glad you've finally gotten some.
They make alot of difference comfort-wise hey? It's like a big sigh of relief

For us UK girls - by pants I take it you mean trousers and not just a pair of knickers!!!

by knickers I take it you mean panties...Kidding,I actually pick up a lot of english terms on this forum...

A pair of maternity pants,how great!
I actually bought some maternity dresses,I still have to buy trousers,I'm putting it off...

See I am English and call knickers knickers, not pants. I meant trousers, sorry, goes to show I'm not hanging round with enough UK gals!!

Got my TROUSERS on now, a little big so I have to tighten the elastic belt bit. a little uncomfy but better than letting it all hang out with top button undone!!!!
