Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

I got it from the store, there is one in my mothers local high street, I only realised they were online today

Last time I went into Debenhams I found it really disappointing. Hope you find it better but be prepared, think there are only 2 stalls in there that do maternity if that is what you are after. Red herring is one, two weeks ago they just had winter work clothes on one rail.

Maxi dresses in non maternity wear look quite nice and you should be able to get them from a couple of stores.

H&M have maternity wear (bit small for me but then I like baggy things anyway)

i did wonder though if one could wear a maxi dress to a an English wedding? I have never been to one before (apart from ours ), and just trying to see what looks elegant is quite annoying. . i saw a few things online for Red Herring, so thought would pop in there as i dont work far from there. sigh! I am def going to order from yours though as their maxis look lovely.

It depends on the style but most maxi dresses would be fine for a summer wedding Especially when pregnant. I am wearing one to my cousins next month which is in pink from yours http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Pink_Jewel_Detail_Printed_Maxi_Dress-(11960).aspx

I have (had) three weddings to go to this summer, one at 14 wks, one at 18 wks and one at about 26 wks.

I bought this dress: http://www.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/product/phase-eight/Dresses/Kazumi-Print-Maxi-Dress/201672788

I think it's elegant enough for all three, it's quite a heavy stretchy fabric and is gathered under the bust so there's some extra material there for when I start to get big. It is quite b00by, but I wear it with a gold wrap and heeled gold sandals to dress it up.

I definitely wasn't the only one in a maxi dress at the wedding I went to a couple of weeks ago - I think as long as you don't go beach/strapless or wear flip-flops then you're ok with them.

Oh, and I got it from House of Fraser in Centrale in Croydon - they had 20% off Phase Eight at the time so I only paid £88 which I didn't think was too bad for a dress to last me for three formal occasions

Sorry for lack of updates - I'm pleased to say that as of Thursday 31st May I am now progressing into the 12-24 weeks thread! My wife and I have a healthy little bun growing in the oven, no irregularities (touch wood) and a strong heartbeat. I completely choked up when I saw the scan

Rups, it might be worth looking at any 'wrap' style dresses as well, I have a few about and even though they are not maternity because of how they 'wrap' they can fit around the bump quite easily...

will do. thanks ladies. i wish i had the same energy as before to shop. i get tired so quickly that even the thought of going shopping is making me sigh.

Hi ya... i will comment individually in a few hs

Today i had my scan, baby is measuring 6 weeks so yay ! Cyst is 3cm and doctor does not seem to concern at the moment. Had the app at 10, 1 hs journery then from there went to town for 2 hs, came back and pop to see nana for 45min ( love coffee and biccies) then MIL picked me up to go and get DD from school.
Came home and while DD plays in the sunny garden, i had to clean/ tidy the house and i just got a minute to sit down now, i am shattered.
I am not liking not being able to sleep at night at all !

I feel i am going to cry now, i am really emotional, these hormones are killing me, the reason ? My daughter (5) was eating an apple and suddenly showed me that one of her bottom teeth is about to fall out. I am feeling like what ? she is only a baby or thought she was, she is growing so fast, it is not fair.
