Try the maternity range from Asos http://www.asos.com/Women/Maternity/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=5813 ? I bought lots of nice things from there a few years ago. Not frumpy, and prices are decent. Hubbie splashed out and bought me some really nice jeans from Pretty Pregnant on North Cross Road, which I wore for ages postpartum too.


When you're choosing tops, don't forget to think about possibly breastfeeding. I had a couple a very pretty maternity tops that I would still have worn postpartum, but they were impossible to breastfeed in, doh!

In addition to those already mentioned, I also found some nice (and affordable) things in Next, JoJo Maman Bebe, Gap and Mamas & Papas (they do good deals when the sales are on). Also New Look for cheap basics like tracksuit bottoms for around the house, leggings, bump bands, etc.

It's quite expensive, but Oranges and Lemons (is it still called that? Also called Pretty Pregnant?) on North Cross Rd is good for jeans. I "invested" in a pricey pair and lived in them so it was worth it. They also have a website. If you're looking for something for an occasion it's good too, the staff are very very helpful.


My advice would be, especially if you are planning more than one kid, don't skimp on bottoms. Tops are fairly easy to come by and fashions change quite a bit, but if you find a skirt or pair of trousers that fit you, are comfy, and at least slightly adjustable, buy in more than one colour. You'll probably wear them longer after the birth than you think!!! I find I can wear trousers over and over before I'm bored with them but need more changes of tops.


Blooming Marvellous range at Mothercare is quite good.

JoJo have a much better range online than in the shop but their sizes come up large. Try on in store to gauge your size then buy on the website.

Gap maternity.

Topshop.


I got some H&M maternity tops that stopped fitting after I was about 6 months preg so be careful there!

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
