Good luck to all those who are getting close - reading all your posts I'm getting very impatient!

Aless - Sorry your having a tough time, hopefully things will pick up for you soon

A quick question for all you ladies who are a bit further on in this process! I am somebody who lives in jeans, even for work as I'm self-employed. I'm coming to the stage where all of the jeans I have are starting to fall apart (breaking zips, worn inner thighs) and I am also finding them uncomfortable. I'm only 6 weeks so haven't got any kind of a bump but I'm finding that the tops of my jeans are digging in. I'm in the process of ordering some new ones from littlewoods and I wasn't sure what to do about sizes. I would like them to last a while so I didn't know whether to buy normal jeans in a size up or whether to get some maternity jeans. Are they baggy over no bump or do they start flat and stretch IYSWIM?

I have also noticed my boobs have grown already (am a larger lady anyway). Is it too soon to get a maternity bra?

muso i got some over bump jeans from Dot P's and they keep falling down, i'd go for under bump if you can then they should be okay for pre-bump stage too

Muso I'm 15 weeks with no apparent bump though my mum got me some Topshop jeans the other day for under the bump with stretch side panels - I can wear them now without looking weird as they can be let out as you grow Can't comment on any others as these are the only ones I have!

gym - sorry, I should've clarified that he drives for his job and needs to be able to park both near the office and also in different parts of the area for appointments. And there's no free parking anywhere remotely near the office until after 10:30am so not only does he have to pay for the 1st 2 hrs of parking, but anytime he can't find free parking on an appt...

Also...on the boob front, mine balooned in the early weeks with all the bloating, back to normal now so glad I didn't buy any! I just wore a sports bra (work from home - self employed too!) til they went back to normal

Oh no Aless how rubbish, can you borrow a bit from anyone just for a few weeks? So sorry, it must be so stressful, xxxx

Beenie it looked lush! My mouths watering now.

Muso I had to get bigger bras at 5 weeks, the day after my BFP. It was my increased chest size that was the give away I might be pregnant! With clothes Ive found it a false economy buying stuff in bigger sizes as it doesnt fit properly in other places and feels uncomy. Ive got some over the bump jeans that are denim all the way up which are comfy but may be a bit baggy until you get more of a bump, some stetchy waist ones that were good from about 12 weeks and some under bump ones which I only managed to wear from 12 weeks to 20 weeks then I couldnt get them past my thighs!
