Best places for maternity bits?

I've had a look on eBay because of some suggestions I've seen from other people from my google searching, but all I could find was some raggedy old vest tops.
I've ordered a really nice maternity top from Mothercare, however I hear the jeans there aren't that great at all.

I'm young so love a nice pair of denim skinnys, so when it comes to those I'm willing to splash a bit of cash if I have to. Next also seem to be quite shitty for maternity, with only a select few bits. Their mumalicious skinnys seem really nice though, and really reasonable at £35.

Any advice? Oh, and what exactly are bump bands de? I'm a size 8/10 so shall I still be needing them? Sorry if I sound quite.. Pretentious and naive. They probably having nothing to do with your size and I'm probably thinking nonsense lol.

P.S, I bloody hate Newlook and their trashy slogan tops.

Hi marmalade - I thought you said you were 21 weeks on the other thread?

If you are only 5-6 weeks there is plenty of time when you should be able to fit your normal clothes on; and a bump band might help extend the life of them. Its like a vest top but bottom half only

Hi Marzipan

I've got 2 pairs of the Mamalicious over the bump jeggings (direct from their site), which are a 29 waist and 32 leg. I was a size 10 pre-pregnancy if that's any help!! I used their size guide on the website and a tape measure to get a better idea of which would be the best fit for me x
