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!

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
