Tock I found that in mid preg, wearing a one size larger dress that i would normally describe as 'slapper' was brilliant! In fact I've still got ones that are now 8 years old from now bankrupt clothing chains. I wouldn't have the confidence to wear something clingy normally, but with a bump, you want to show off the sticky out bits not hide them. Well, I did. However, if the slapper route isn't for you, Topshop had some nice dresses if i remember correctly from the quick trawl i did round bristol. Depressingly, H&M don't seem to have changed their stock from 2 and half years ago.
loopy i just got some great shorts from DP. Similarly, i wouldn't normally shop in there, but needs must. I got a pair of seersucker (at least I think that's what it's called) in light grey stripes and a pair that are a kind of bright pastel green. Sort of tangerine green if that makes any sense. I also got some grey stretchy jeans (which I refuse to refer to as jeggings) and some nice blue cotton trousers that will see me through a DC autumn. I'm struggling a bit because my 3 previous pregs were 6 months different to this one, so all my early preg clothes are wintery, and my summery ones are vast.
I love it when you get to the 'looking pg' stage fluff instead of what i refer to (god, I sound like Miranda's mother) as the 'fat and badly dressed' stage. I am very self consciuos of being in the latter, especially as summer is so much hider to hide in!
Still, just got my scan date through for Monday morning, so hopefully can go public at our leaving party next weekend.
tock I keep telling strangers I'm pg, but have hardly told any friends. I feel like I'm practising.
