but not surprised at your employer. The more mums I speak to the more I realise how common it is. I was very naive when I had DS, although I knew I would struggle to do my job part time, my employer was underhand and started to cut me out of meetings that involved me, employed a replacement for me without telling me - you get the picture.... I was constructively dismissed basically.
Compo agree with Tassis - I have hardly bought any maternity tops - just the longer tops (that people are wearing with skinny jeans at the mo), a couple from topshop, H&M and TKmaxx.
I have pasted this in someone sent me - I thought it was funny and would make you all smile - it is very long though:
