lizzie i have boycotted H&M this time round for that very reason there is no way on gods green earth i am buying jeans in a size 16 :eek: when a size 12 everywhere else fits perfectly

I have to say that I really like the jeans I got and I actually don't care that they say size 14 on them - no-one would know unless I told them so as long as they fit well I ain't bovvered but it is a pain when there is clearly a "universal" sizing system to attempt to work to and they clearly have no clue about it- not helpful!

good luck to kinda on her scan today!

Thanks for the info on hand-expressing Glam (& elle); it's not something I'd heard of yet.

hope everyone else is doing well! Got a shiny new laptop yesterday (sorry, not trying to make people jealous) so have spent all the time since playing with it and trying to import files from my old comp. Swear bump has grown loads just in past week...I really should start measuring so I know, haha...

With my first pregnancy the only bit of maternity wear I bought were my maternity bra's. I just bought a belly belt that you can use with existing clothes to add a few extra sizes as it all cost so much for maternity clothes. Also just bought tops that were a few sizes bigger than me to cover bump

Ahhh xmaslolly oh to be a size 12 again!!

Is more MSE to get multiple items and only pay one P&P charge.......surely?

Ha ha!! Even better than that I just spent over £75 so I got free P&P!

Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well. Looking forward to seeing scan pics later(forgot who!)
Well my palpitations are getting worse hopefully just the stress of my sister or maybe i'm anemic again? Had to leave my mum looking after my sister today herself because OH arranged an appointment for 10 to 3, honestly i wonder if he knows what time school gets out. Trying to relax a bit before DD gets back and i need to go back to sis, so far not done good lol

Busy day tomorrow need to take my sis to a specialist who will hopefully give her some help and not just abandon her by referring elsewhere. I don't think they care that it takes 3 adults to look after her, so long as she is acceptable for their 10min consultation.

Will need to start looking into maternity clothes can feel the waistband tightening as i type lol Think i will stick to internet shopping as i don't fancy trailing round busy shops at the moment. oh dear ebay is calling:rotfl:

Even when they do have maternity wear, eg H&M, when I tried on some jeans, over-the-bump style at about 24 weeks, I trotted into the fitting room with one size above normal, a 10, and went to put them on - couldn't get the flipping things much past my knees! Ended up getting a size 14 and they fitted perfectly. I am still wearing the same sizes as pre-preg in other maternity clothes as well as my normal clothes.

And don't even get me started on longer length trousers/jeans for maternity, clearly tall ladies don't get pregnant, or they are tall ladies who don't mind wearing half-masties! This time it was a good thing that the H&M sizes were barmy as I found a pair of "normal" length jeans but they were actually muchos longer than all the others, however still a size 14, but I don't care as long as they fit me I am not hideously tall, but 5'10.5" and was a nightmare!

This would have all taken sooo long if I had to order them online and keep returning them!

I'm quite annoyed actually, I (very foolishly) took the tags off a pair of "over-bump" maternity cargo type trousers from H&M that I bought at the weekend. They do go over my bump now and will for a little while longer but not for much more than a few weeks I reckon (I'm only 15 weeks now!) Also if my legs get any bigger I won't be able to get them past my knees! Oh well, I'll know for next time!

Hi SJ :hello:

Your due around the same timw as me and i was just wondering if you have bought many baby items yet? I have not bought a thing but mainly because MIL keeps saying its still to early to be buying.

Hope everyone is well and that all scans and appointments go well.
