Hi ladies, just wondered where you all recommend buying Maternity Clothes from?? What did you find the most comfortable?? xx

For jeans definately newlook i still wear mine now there so comfy and good price aswell xx

I could only afford 'reasonable' prices, and found ASDA & ?Peacocks (the E-vie range...is that peacocks??) by far the best.

I actually didnt rate Mothercare at all....but maybe thats due to me being a bigger mummy, but there clothes were really uncomfy!

Next were Ok too...

17 + weeks Chick!!!! Where the heck is the time going????

Dont buy off ebay! It migh be cheaper but i got 4 pairs mat jeans andcant wear a single one of em as despite them being size 18 and fitting me in the waist they seem to be designed for fat birds who still have thighs like baby giraffes

Im now living in joggers cos im too tight to buy anymore and can highly reccomend lots of nice soft joggers instead of mat clothes if you dont mind being a slummy mummy

I liked new look too. Got a couple of funky t-shirts there.

I also found Primark in a size bigger for tops where fine. Alot of their tops where quite long in style anyway and as they only cost a cpl £ I didnt mind them stretching a bit.

I had mine from next, on ebay though, I''m too chap to pay next prices for something I only wore for 3 months

I had all my tops from primark, they are long so cover bump really weel just got a size up

asos were great, especially when they have a sale on! i got jeans from new look but i didn't like the tops. also got a really long vest top from dorothy perkins that i wore under my normal tops to cover my bump, i still wear it now!

I didn't buy too many maternity things, I lived in leggings with a fit and flare dress or tunic top over, for basics asda were great and then I had one or two nice things from topshop,

Fab, thanks ladies.....I know Lisa I dont know where the time is going either. I seem to have had a right growth spurt the last week or so and bubs has a wriggle on most of the time now, bless her!

I have stocked up on leggings and have quite a few long tops...and I bought an I love my bump top last week too.

Just after a few pairs of black trousers for work and a pair of jeans, can't decide whether to get skinny jeans though or slouch ones hmmm! xx

i was lucky and didnt buy anything other than a couple of tops from h&m.

i have alot of boyfriend jeans and linen trousers (prazza) and lived in those

New Look done some lovely stuff but not all stores stock maternaty, peacocks and littlewoods were the best x

Id get slouchy jeans if I was you, or at least ones with alot of stretch. Maybe I was a bit of a piggy but I got size 14 mat jeans from new look I think- they had stretchy panels at side. Anyway by the time I was about 32 weeks my ar$e and hips had expanded and they dug in too much.

I ended up going to M&S in the June and buying size 20 cut off combats thinking id another 8-9 weeks of growth left. My bump stopped growing at 34 wks so they ended up slipping a bit but were far comfier than my too tight mat jeans!

next next next and new look for jumper dresses (although can't really wear them now cos its rather unsightly to breastfeed in a dress haha)

I swore by H&M clothes, really comfy and good maternity section and very reasonably priced

new look is by far the best for jeans. but I also got a couple of lovely tops from next.

oh gap as well but thats pretty expensive x

I have a fantastic pair of black work trousers from Funmum (sold in independent stockists or online). They are comfortable, stretchy, stay up, wash well and don't look like maternity trousers.

I also don't recommend ebay - nothing I got from there fitted properly.

When buying tops bear in mind that you will be hotter than usual and that you need tops to BF in whilst your bump is shrinking back down - some blouses / loose T-shirts are useful.

Has H&M been suggested? (I'm a bit bleary eyed...!) they have some nice bits inc. tops you can wear now and that are also nursing tops - and I can't rave enough about their regular strappy vest tops Probably as I literally have a drawer full stretchy so grow with you, great for layering and come in two lengths - the longer being best to cover bump

Next do good work trousers and I'm sure dorothy perkins have some bits too

Matalan is pants for selection but have a couple of things - often if you look in the +size section though there are elasticated waist trousers that are comfy for the inbetween months - good idea to try things on though as bumpage can make things fit and feel v.different. x

I got some lovely jeans from Mama's and Papa's that I've stashed away in case I get to wear them again. Although they're more expensive they have LOADS of styles and leg lengths. With you being tall like me they may be your best bet as I always found Next to short. I still wear all my M+P vest tops, infact I bought more as they're so comfy and don't ride up!

oooo - M&P have a sale on with £10 jeans I'm sure...!

I bought pretty much all my mat cloths from ebay..and they were lovely! I have 3 giant tupperware bins full of clothes that include everything from old navy-gap-motherhood tonnes! To buy brand new is ridiculous as it's sooo expensive. I also loved loved those Bella bands and button extenders which allowed me to wear my regular jeans and pants for a lot longer than normally allowed.

Ooooh 10 pound jeans look good, maybe some of the boyfriend or carpenter ones might actually fit my thunderthighs! Will go lookee on payday

I got some work trousers from Dorothy Perkins for £9 (reduced from £28 to £12 then got a 25% discount code), and they are sooooo comfy!!

Also just got some jeans off Ebay for 99p, £4 in total inc. postage so that was a bargain.

With Libby I got the bulk of my clothes from Newlook and Peacocks (my local ones have stopped stocking maternity though ).

xx

New look, peacocks, asda and matalan were where i got all my clothes from i think x

I just lived in joggy bottoms most of the time. Although I did get some nice jeans and linen pants from New look, they were so comfy. Also some from Littlewoods. I didn't really get any tops as all my tops were kinda long-line tops anyway.

I did get some 'Bump band's' though and really recommend them. They offer great support for your bump and also allow you to wear your normal tops but without flashing the bump off - it just looks like you've gone for the layered look
I got mine off ebay but they sell them in New look too - 3 for £10

They are also really good when you've had baby to tuck in your baby belly, and you get loads of people say 'Oooo, you look so good to say you've just had a baby!!' Also good for breastfeeding as it hides the belly when your required to lift your top up a bit

....and - they keep ya belly/bump warm in winter
