Have m&s stopped doing maternity clothes?

In my last pregnancy I lived in their long sleeved t shirts and my h&m jeans! I have just looked online and I can't find anything, only bras etc and nightwear! I have nice dresses from seraphine and Boden, but the m&s tshirts were the best! I have looked at jojo, but their tshirts have a big tie hanging down, which I know will just irritate me! Any help or info gratefully received! Xx

Yeh, there's no maternity clothes anywhere at the moment.

Gap have some decent basic stuff but frankly I could punch someone I'm so cross about how hard it is to buy maternity clothes.

I would suggest Primark vest 'dresses' and slouchy tops, or ASOS maternity for tees. I loved my H&M jeans too and am refusing to take them off even though I fit into pre pregnancy trousers now

I have bought a few bits and pieces from Next (online).

Next t-shirts aren't too bad. New |Look have stuff in store - cheap, but the t-shirts are thin. I liked the skinny jeans though.

I bought a few bits from mothercare, ie.a couple of dresses and a cross over top, but find they are a smaller fit. I bought jeans, skirt and a dress from jojo maman bebe, bit mumsy in there. leggings, dresses and tops in H&M.
Mat clothes are crap to buy. I've been trying to get some bits that would work for breastfeeding as well

Almost all of my mat wear comes from Asos. Pretty much everything else looked awful and was sent back.

I've been going to seraphine but their customer service- deliveries have been disgusting slow in the past

It's really hard to find maternity clothes in actual bricks-and-mortar shops... it's all online! I guess it's not profitable for them to have floorspace taken up with maternity wear :/

I got some good basic t-shirts from New Look's maternity range online. The material is very thin though so you'll have to wear a vest or something underneath. www.newlook.com/shop/maternity/view-all-maternity_1920039

Tesco & Asda also do maternity ranges online.

Also, eBay is a good place to look for 2nd-hand maternity stuff. I got some leggings and a tunic from there; so much cheaper than if I'd got them new. Just depends if you're up for trawling through listings and bidding.

I find it so weird - surely the one thing shops can guarantee is that there are always going to be pregnant women!
