Can any ‘regular’ clothes do for maternity wear?

I’m losing weight for my wedding/ general health/ ttc and I’m very proud to have lost a stone and a half.

I need all new clothes but I’m trying to save money and we’ll be ttc immediately aftef the wedding.

Soooo… what styles should I keep from my old clothes/ look for when buying new?

I’d keep all your old clothes, you’ll probably gain weight and so you might want them after the birth for a few months (years?!). If you don’t gain weight they’ll be oversized so there will be room for your bump.
Shirts, flowy dresses, baggy jumpers, loose dungarees will all do most of your pregnancy. Any trousers/shirts/skirts that aren’t high waisted can probably sit below the bump.

Agree with above. I’ve had 2 DC and never bought any maternity clothes (although I lived in loose trousers/leggings and midi dresses)

I just wore leggings/stretchy or loose trousers/tops/dresses etc.

Empire line dresses from Monsoon were good.
