I treated myself to 2 new pairs.

1 bootcut pair from Peacocks. Worn once and they were pretty comfy.
Also ordered a pair of skinnies from Dotty Ps. Got them in the sale for 7quid and they are very comfy.

Am yet to test them properly though! x

Ok I have just done a bit of a reccy - here's what I found

Most comfortable fit - H&M
Best looking - new look

I was disappointed with the ones I tried on in Gap. They were very comfortable but felt a bit like they would fall down and didnt look all that great.

Also Next didn't have a maternity section.

Hmm will do some more trying on before I buy but at the moment I'm keen on the new look ones

Stupid question, do you buy your 'normal' size?

I've never been preggers before so its all a mystery!!

Yep. I just bought my same size! I think I would like to wear them forever. Theres something very comforting about having a thick waist band up to your ears! x

Last time I lived in 2 pairs of next jeans. An over the bump pair until I got big at about 30 weeks then an under the bump pair. The over bump ones were good for staying up when my bump was smaller but the under bump ones were more comfy when I was bigger x

Due to a stupid sized tummy from 5 weeks onwards, I have been wearing maternity clothes for weeks now.

Peacocks are good for over bump jeans, very comfy. I also got 2 pairs of over bump combats in black and white and am living in these atm.

I have a skinny pair of jeans under bump from asda, I don't find these as comfortable tbh.

Got a pair of combats from Pumpkin Patch, they are under bump and really comfy.

2 pairs of Next Linen trousers, these are really comfortable, had to get some linen due to wedding in Jamaica in December and will wear them towards the end alot too.

I also have a few shirts, one from peacocks and one from asda. Got a nice summer top from asda too, but am starting to bulge out of that in the bust area.

Next also do a nice 3 pack of t shirts that are really comfy.

Got a swimming costume from mamas and papas too for Jamaica and for aquanatal.

Really need some more bits because my normal size 8 tops are starting to not accomodate my rather large boobs which are only getting bigger and bigger.

My maternity bras came from marks and spencers, and am now struggling to find a nice bra in a 34 E. Up to 34 DD its fine, everywhere seems to have them, but once you need E, its difficult. H&M had some lovely reasonable priced bras, but only a 40 in a size E. Will need a new bra pretty soon, the DD's are getting uncomfortable.

Try Bravissimo for decent bras in larger cup sizes.
