Cheap Maternity Clothes??

Anyone know where I can buy some cheap maternity clothes as I'm nearly 20 weeks and nothing fits.. :( I found a few sites that had things for £5 but when you look at the sizing it only has sizes 0, 4, and 8 :( I'm a 12..

Perhaps someone has seen a sale somewhere or knows of a good second hand maternity shop? Any help would be appreciated tremendously..

Thanks in advance..

    its possible to adapt your own jeans and trousers by making an insert for your bump. using stretchy fabric from a pair of leggins or trousers you are prepared to sacrifice cut out an insert and hand or machine stitch this into jeans or trousers. this can tide you over until you see maternity trousers at a price that suits. you can wear a longer top to cover the insert. raid OH wardrobe to see if anything suitable or try charity shops.

    Ebay, bump bands, NCT nearly new sales are all options.

    For new clothes you could try Peacocks, Matalan, H&M or Bonprix for reasonable prices.
