anyone know where I can get some nice looking maternity clothes that dont cost the earth or look frumpy?
I cant find anything I like I will be living in maxi dresses at this rate!
Thanks

My favourite maternity stuff was Mothercare or Next (via ebay, obv). Everything else seemed to fit weirdly, although everyone's a different shape while upduffed, so I'd probably go and try a few things and see what fits best! I also wouldn't buy too much at a time or spend a lot, cause you might find yourself going through a few different sizes before you pop!
I'd also avoid H&M tbh, for bottoms at least. Your ego will thank you. There was a time when I was still squeezing in size 8 topshop maternity jeans and yet couldn't get size 16 H&M jeans past my thighs :eek:
I did get a few basic pieces from GEORGE at asda and for maternity jeans I would definately recommend next and go for ones that go over your bump rather than under.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
My ASDA didnt have any maternity range in when I was there so prehaps I will have to have a lookie on their website

I often end up picking maternity clothes up as I find them so nice. So for shops I would probably look in places such as New Look, Primark, Peacocks, H+M, River Island, Next, ASOS, Topshop etc. It really depends on the type of money you want to spend and the look you want to go for. Just to get you started I've listed some ideas e.g.:
