Thank you both for the advice! Leggings and tunic are not something I've ever considered before but maybe I should open my mind! New Look...will check it out.

Clure- unfortunately my top half is, ahem, somewhat different now that I'm bfing so even some of my late pregnancy tops don't fit I may investigate the trousers/skirts from 2nd trimester though!

I wore the few clothes that I'd bought when I couldn't fit into my clothes but maternity clothes were too big. These were one or two sizes bigger than my normal sized clothes. They were a good bridge after I gave birth until i lost my pregnancy weight.
Leggings and tunic idea sounds good! They weren't in fashion when I was pg!

Can you pull of the leggings/tunic look? Or buy a few cheaper things to tide you over, New Look Hula jeans are great for a bit of a tummy but only £10.

I'm at the stage where my maternity clothes are falling off me (the builders' bum look isn't the most flattering blush) but my pre-pregnancy clothes won't fit for some time yet.

Where can I find clothes that will fit my horrid unusual shape? My tummy and boobs are still pretty enormous but everything else has slimmed down. Should I go for maternity in smaller sizes or are there any normal clothes out there that will fit me?

Thanks!

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
