Dorothy Perkins isn't bad for maternity clothes.

I couldn't get on with TopShop's maternity stuff at all.

You can get loads of v nice preggo body lotions and foot rubs in Boots etc these days.

Palmers Cocoa butter strech mark cream (just in case)
Another vote for Daisy Roots
and another vote for rear facing pushchair inparticular the ones that the car seat can click on to the frame (incredibly convienient)
Nappy bin (useful if your baby is due in the winter, saves alot of trips to the bin)

Trying to think of some more....
