Well, the title says it all really :)

Just read in a magazine that New Look are launching their own maternity range (in selected stores only). This has got to be a good thing as it would be nice to have more choice when it comes to maternity stuff, plus hopefully they should be good value for money as well! :D

    Just thought I'd give this a bump - walked past my local New Look (Basingstoke) today and they've got the new maternity stuff! Didn't get a chance to have a look as was in a rush...

    Also, I read somewhere they're to start selling kids' clothes as well! :)

    They have had the range in our local New Look for some time- looks really nice and modern - shame that my babs is now 4 months old!

    I wonder if they realize that pregnant women are sometimes larger than a size 10, unlike their normal ranges which only accomodate the super-skinny regardless of what the size says:rotfl:

    I was in the Marks and Spencers at Fosse Park (Leicester) at the weekend and noticed that THEY are also doing a maternity range now - they haven't publicised it very well, and it might only be available in the larger stores, but it's the one place that I always thought really should sell them and now they do :)

    (Mind you, at 36 weeks gone, not a lot of use to *me* now ;))

    Best I've found for wear-and-chuck maternity clothes, has to be Hennes, especially their fantastic stretchy £5 vests which will be great for breastfeeding afterwards!

    my sister is 22 weeks pregnant and ever so happy they're stocking maternity clothes now. the choice in town is so poor that she's been ordering online, then having to return stuff. it gets kinda expensive!
