Best maternity clothes in size 20/22

Basically just that. I've dug out what I have but it was over 5yrs ago so need some nice new additions. Everything seems to be either black/white/grey too small or too many £££s.

I love jojo mama bebe dresses especially the multi colour strip ones. I'm also not due till June so need warm/springtime things.

Only 8wks but spreading fast and I need comfort, stylish and with bad morning sickness and generally not enjoying being pregnant I want to feel really nice. Oh and trailing round shops is out for now, I can barely leave the sofa :(

Don't want to look like a tent either. Although I'm not small I'm not round and do have a very curvy figure.

Your help is needed please ladies.

Blooming Marvellous range in mothercare go up to a size twenty in some styles. I've also got a lot of stuff second hand on ebay, apparently mamas and papas discontinued their largest size a couple of seasons ago, but there are second hand options out there.

Not very exciting but ASDA, Matalan and New Look are good. I have found that I have to try the stuff on and have taken a couple of things back but their prices are very reasonable. NEXT has been great for work/smarter stuff. And Marks and Spencers maxi dresses with a cardi are great when the weather is better.

I got jeans and casual tips from next in a 20 and they were great. Washed really well and have lasted 3 months post birth still going strong well.

Next. Really nice stuff at the mo!

Next are good, but so much in 20/22 is out of stock, especially Jeans.

New Look is alright as well, but stops at 18, but it's generously sized, also some of the h&m is generous too.

I am an 18/20 on top and a 20/22 on the bottom.

Lots of stores don't stock the maternity ranges, so you need to check before you go along.

Have a look at bon prix online, its a bit hit and miss but a few gems at great prices :)

Next is best :-) have a massive range online just now. Dorothy Perkins sometimes has the odd nice thing. H and m have lots of fab plus size maternity stuff, but I find the jeans small... But good for tops, dresses and coats

Mojo maternity online has a small selection of good basics in sizes 18/20 upwards. I don't think they do dresses. I got some tights from there and they are very good.

Thank you ladies, after another rough sickness day and poor nights sleep tomorrow it's time for some online retail therapyGrin
