If you're not feeling thin don't what ever you do go and try on jeans in H&M. I went to get maternity jeans a few months ago when I was at the 'just looking fat' stage and feeling horrible and I tried jeans in my normal size, couldn't get them past my knees! I tried a size bigger and had the same problem. Really didn't need that.

After spending the whole day up and down Oxford St feeling swollen and sick I realised that most stores don't stock their full maternity range and most stuff can only be got online.

I got some fairly nice, cheap stuff from Matalan, and jeans and basics from Next.

I also picked up some fat lady style tunic tops, not actually materntiy that I have just lived in now that the bump is like a small planet and several of my maternity tops are not long enough to go over it and reach the top of my jeans.

Kids really do play up for their parents!

I just went to Bromley and managed to get some Maternity clothes in Pumpkin Patch, Next, Mothercare ( which was rubbish and fell apart after a few washes) and H&M. Have to admit that none of them were my style and I was suprised at the lack of choice we have.

Sorry about the accidental thread-splitting. They have now been re-merged, not wholly successfully in that the messages are not all in chronological order.
