Hi there - I am 17 + 2 today and finally had to give in and buy some maternity wear. A thought I had been really dreading for some time as I love my clothes and was freaking out at the thought of being very uncool for the next 20 ish weeks!
Have been doing research on line and decided I liked the look of Mama.licious, however was all confuddled about sizes. Found a little shop today that sells their stuff and the jeans are brilliant! And their basic black leggings £16 are mahoosively comfortable.
Anyone else have any other maternity clothes tips? Uniform for work - so just need casual and perhaps a Christmas dress??

i highly recommend anything from Isabella Oliver. It's really expensive but looks lovely and will wear and wear and wear.
Their scoop tops are fantastic - i have a black one which i bought for my first pregnancy; continued to wear to work when i was not pregnant; and am now wearing again, three years on - it looks as good as new and is mega comfortable. their 'butterfly sweater' which looks a bit odd in the main picture, is also gorgeous - i've had lots of compliments on it, and again, you could wear it when not pregnant. Coat wise, i don't think it's worth spending the money on a 'specialised' maternity winter coat, since there are lots of cape styles in the shops at the moment. i bought a cheapie from New Look which i've had lots of compliments on too. i just got a size 14 (i'm 28 weeks pg, normally a size 10) and it looks great.
