When my youngest is 5.

Only to softplay but it’s so comfortable.

Do it!!
unless it has some sort of slogan on it like "bumps first Christmas" or you may get funny looks

I wore my maternity bras for a few years after, they are sooo comfy and I can't cope with underwired any more for some reason.

I still have a jersey maxi dress that says maternity in the lable, but you wouldn't know. My daughter is almost 10.

I just had to throw out one of my favourite maternity tops (a brown check smock from Mothercare) it was the first maternity top I bought 12 years ago and despite being sewn up was actually ripping where it had worn so thin. YANBU at all.

Maternity leggings are the most comfy things in the world. I don’t think I could ever give them up now

I’ve got a 5 month old and am still wearing maternity leggings and jeans. Hopefully I’ll fit into my old clothes soon but it is very easy to go for the comfort option. I’ve got a few maternity tops that don’t look maternity-esque that I’ll keep for a while too.

I own a maternity top and I've never been pregnant in my life! I didn't realise it was maternity wear when I tried it on; it just looked like a nice empire-line tunic that would work with skinny jeans! Blush I've worn it quite a lot...

I wear maternity trousers if I'm going out for a big meal. I've never even been pregnant.

i buy maternity on purpose as i find womens top to short in the body,my youngest has just turned 9 so they are not left over

i have massive boobs im a 46J/K(depends on brand)im 6ft and 13 stone 4 so not obese

im a 16 bottom but need 26/28 tops but as these are for plus size women they are always way to big on the arms and bottom as i only need them for the chest area

i either buy XXXl mens tshirts or maternity tops and get my sister(professional seamstress)to take them in at the bottom

Never had children, but I've got a couple of Esmara one-size maternity tops I bought in Lidl last summer. They're great.

I wear a maternity top that I bought when pregnant with DS1, who's now 18. It's soooo comfortable, has lasted through 3 pregnancies (it has zips in the sides for those last few weeks when you think you're going to pop), and I can get away with wearing it at work.

I still regularly wear my maternity leggings, and DS is now 2.5! They're just so bloody comfy!!
