    thanks. yes got to be mse on things now. planning to go to matalan when i can be bothered and get some cheapy maternty wear now as everything else on me is tight. lol

    I got a lovely red and white stripey maternity swimsuit from Matalan, it was only £14 :)

    If you like leggings I got these from eBay. They are calf length so maybe not too good in this weather but they are a lovely fit :)

    Also my favourite pair of maternity jeans are from Adsa, they were really cheap so they might be worth a look.

    My one tip would be don't buy too much, especially trousers/jeans as you will find different styles/sizes fit better through out your pregnancy. At the beginning I was more comfortable in under bump stuff but now I find the over bump ones better. I also have put on some weight around my bum and thighs so some of the things I bought no longer fit properly.

  • Afternoon all,

    I have embraced the afternoon nap with enthusiasm and feel MUCH better now. Good enough to venture into the world of paint cards so we can paint our front door - I say "we" but I obviously mean OH.

    I'm so glad we have MSE, I was googling about front door colours (I know), and am very very scared by how much the women on mumsnet know about Farrow and Ball colours. Really, it's worrying that anyone cares that much about shades of blue/green/gray :eek:

    Part of the Furniture 100 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    Rups32 - I recommend a bump band (ASDA, Amazon). You wear it with your pre-pregnancy unbuttoned trousers and it holds them up. I bought 2 pairs of maternity trousers and was only able to wear them a few weeks each so a waste of money. My bump band, however, is still fab even though I'm 37wks. Asda also do nice cheap tops if you're interested.

    My Matalan didn't have any maternity wear in store, just online. I've found that's the same almost everywhere unfortunately :(

    I love my Asos maternity leggings though, so comfy, and they have some really nice fashionable dresses, tops etc :)

  • Rups I agree with Emsbet and Silly Moo - I bought some maternity stuff early on and it fitted for a couple of weeks only! Had some great jeans and combats off ebay but the band started to dig in round the pelvic area when I sat down - fitted fine still in all other areas! Luckily, I have a very clever Mum who cut out the band and front section and replaced it with more comfortable material! I really didn't want to have to go and spend MORE money on clothes! Bump bands are a great idea - I even wore some pre-pregnancy combats yesterday with a band and the top button undone. Don't think I will get away with doing that for much longer though - 12 weeks to go - eeek!
