    I got almost everything from mothercare when I was pg with Ds, 2 pairs work trousers and 3 styles of top in about 4 diff colours 1 going out top and from M&S wrap around cardi and really nice jeans (they were the same as the normal ones but with jersey over bump panel added on) Hubby thought they were sexy!
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    I think Sami is right, as always!
  • I'll second H&M - lovely good quality clothes.
  • debenhams have 3 pairs of jeans online in the sale now, one is only £6, search on here for free delivery code from memory think it's SHA1 ?

  • I got most of my clothes from Next and Dorothy Perkins in the sales. I also found some cheap items from Peacocks (basic things like trousers, t shirts, etc).
  • Mine are all from H&M. Very good quality - I'd definitely recommend them.
    Aiming for a money neutral christmas. Not on track yet.

    i also got some stuff from Ada when i was pregnant but my son is 17 months so don't know if they still sell it
  • H & M do nice maternity clothes, mothercare have improved and some of the basics are fairly nice and reasonable.
    The company fun mum used to have a store in Glasgow and I bought my sister some really nice clothes from there as gifts but we had a bad experience with a return of a faulty item and we didnt make further purchases,
    La redoute, www.redoute.co.uk ,have a small range of clothing at reasonable prices with some pretty cute things too
  • Hello,
    I have found it very difficult to find decent maternity clothes too. Most of the stuff that should be in my size is completely awkward fitting. So, I got a belly belt! You can get them on amazon for about 10. It attaches to your pre-maternity trousers and gives you the extra room you need. I can wear all my pre-maternity trousers with the belly belt. Totally worth every penny!

    Hiya x

    I have just had a baby - My advice you NEED these NEXT trousers ( I am embarrassed to say that my little girl is 7 months and I still wear them)

    Next Trousers £17

    Then I would treat yourself to a fancy top for xmas do's, etc.

    Did you peacocks have a maternity range too? They have started doing PJ's too - Bargains.

    CONGRATULATIONS x

    PS - If you are looking at buggies - I love my mutsy 4rider - It fits the maxi cosi car seat too. Sorry a bit off topic.
