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!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
