Feb 2019 Babies thread 6. Into the second trimester

[maxiflump1]

New thread ladies after the last one only lasted 2 weeks
Not sure about you all but I'm definitely feeling a lot better now at 14 weeks. Let's hope it lasts!! As you were.....

Oh, I'm a 8/10 in normal clothes btw - so sizing down to an 8 in maternity.

Yes of course, lookingforadvice
I plan to just touch people's belly's back :/ not sure if that's too aggressive of me but never mind. I think it'll be ok with friends and family but I'm a bit worried about clients at work doing it :/ obviously I have to act professionally but that works both ways... I guess I'll just have to be firm and polite and say I'd prefer they don't do that.

@Alicejj8x

Way past the hairband stage! 😂 Even leggings are not comfortable now.. I’m in maternity jeans already, but am going to invest in maternity leggings today I think!

Need to go into town to buy something to wear tomorrow... maternity tops are so boring, both in store and online, I need to find a longer, stretchy, loose-ish cut too preferably in a nude/pinkish colour... or a nice kimono 🤷🏻‍♀️ With two kids in tow.

Wish me luck! 😩

I have quite a strong resting bitch face... I don’t think anyone would be stupid enough to try touching me... 🤣

@NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking
Ohh good luck lol I hope the first shop u go in has exactly what you need ahaha.

I haven't brought any maternity clothes yet .. I'm a size 8 but quite small I height so I am thinking any maternity jeans will be abit too long on my legs lol so I reckon it'll have to be leggings for the next 6 months ahaah!!

@Baby160P - I have impetigo! How random. Got some antibiotic cream stuff from the docs x

@Yakadee oh really that's rare for adults to get. Hope you feel better soon.

I know. I'm totally grossed out as the only way you can pick it up is by touch and nobody I know has it so I've picked it up off some manky surface or something - yuk!!! 🤢

Oh yeah @Alicejj8x we've even gone beyond the hair bobble trick, the zip will not budge at all so the jeans are firmly put away haha. Think I'm gonna go get some H&M maternity jeans xx

Yakadee I did wonder that from your description but it's hard to tell without seeing it obviously.
It's unusual in adults but less so in pregnancy as our immune systems are rubbish!

@hayley013
Ahh I think I'll
Have a look in there at the weekend too!! Anything to feel comfy ahah xx

Im wearing H&M maternity jeans now, I’m a 10/12.. the size 8’s were well short!! 😂 so you may be in luck @Alicejj8x

Or I may be thinking of New Look... one of those shops anyway! I’m 5’6” and the size 8 jeans would’ve come about 3 or 4 inches above my ankles...

ASOS do petite maternity if that’s any help to anyone!! I’m size 12/14 and 5’2 so look ridiculous in some maternity clothes. I’d recommend some whistles and cos dresses for early pregnancy as they do a lot of loose billowy styles. Some good sales on at the moment so might be worth a look!

My sickness is still bad just not everyday but when it does strike it's evil!!!

My maternity new look order arrived today
And I'm so happy, was £55 for 3 maternity bras, 2 bottoms, 2 tops, a jacket and some non maternity gladiator sandals. I have to say I ordered over the bump as I think they'll be more comfy but I don't think I'm fully prepared to embrace the simon cowell look yet 😂

Maternity clothes just come with such hefty price tags.

When I had DD I just bought larger sizes of clothes.

@MrsSnootyPants2018 that's why I embraced the new look maternity sale even though I'm not really in need as in my summer dresses.

I was going to do the same.

I went down to mothercare and had a look and just walked back out. I need too many things and the prices were just too high.

I did see a couple of nice dresses from the Katie Piper maternity range though. I may test myself to one of them and just go large on normal clothes for the rest.

I second Newlook! Recently got 3 pairs of jeans, a dress and two tops. Really reasonable prices although did have to get tall jeans as mine were on the short side!

@FrowningFlamingo - I'm actually glad it is something. It's been painful and I've been moaning about it all week, at least it's for a reason. My husband just told me (in a nice way) to just get on with it and it'll go! So glad he was wrong! Lol x

This is the dress I got. Really flattering and lovely fit. It was only £15! X

That dress is lovely!

I love it. Nice in summer and goes with black tights for the autumn / winter x

I'm just in need of dresses for work. Trousers are just uncomfortable

For those looking for maternity clothes - try eBay. I’ve got a load of Isabella Oliver and seraphine dresses for a bargain - lovely quality and IMO nicer than the Other cheaper stuff I bought with DD. Alternatively COS is fab for maternity wear as it’s all oversized / flowing anyway. I have had a lot of stuff gifted from a friend too so am lucky. Also hot milk for bras - double as maternity and feeding if you’re intending to BF.
