I'm just sooooo fricken uncomfortable! I can't go on like this for, potentially, another 12 weeks!
Unfortunately I can't live in my pj's and my maternity jeans just dig into my bump and it hurts so much when sitting down. Can anyone recommend some decent smart but uber Comfy clothes?
Also shoes if anyone has any suggestions? Turns out this extra weight I'm carrying has caused my arches to fall causing massive pains in my feet, legs and back. My dr advised orthopaedic insoles which has made it possible to walk again but I can only wear them in my converse trainers and it won't be long before I will struggle to do up the laces.
Oh I've so had enough now! Sorry for the moany post. I'm 30 weeks with my 4th baby and my body has just had it. I won't even start on the heartburn Wink

Get to an Oesopath. They have helped me so much!

Maternity leggings and dress. So comfy! I wore these to work quite a lot, it might not be the most professional but no-one was going to tell a heavily pregnant lady she wasn't smart enough!

I feel your pain! 29 weeks here and suffering the most godawful heartburn - not made any easier by having to pick up after two overtired DC.
I've found some nice bootcut under the bump jeans from Next, but even these need hoiking up every few minutes. I've yet to find a pair that stay put! But... I do have a very comfy pair of yoga maternity jersey trousers that make me feel like I'm walking around in my pjs. I save them for my worst heartburny, achey bump, days.
As it's your fourth you'll know it'll soon be over and I guess that's all we can do, keep focusing on December, it'll soon be here and all over.

Dress plus maternity leggings/tights. Possibly knee high boots - mine fit insoles quite nicely.

Easily smart enough for the fussiest of offices if you pick the right dress - skaters worked for me....

I got asda maternity jeggings and they are very comfy, get a size bigger and they will be loose too. What about the pj style trousers that everyone wore in the summer? With a big jumper. Can't comment on fallen arches but I have some sketchers sheepskin boots that have memory foam insoles and they are just lovely to wear, I live in them and trainers.
I'm 29 weeks and feeling similar to you,can't bloody wait to have my body back. No one is living inside me ever again!

Try some flat untrendy shoes (try mary janes with velcro like ecco, pavers or german brands. Or non wooden cloggs.
DM's might be a bit heavy - but get these styles (as they're roomier). You can get them cheaply on Amazon or such (perhaps get them in a bright colour and plain colour).

Flat shoes with a strap from clarkes have been wonderful. I've been living in New Look over the bump maternity leggings and dresses if going out (t shirts if staying in!).

I've had to buy a bloody maternity coat today as I couldn't zip my normal coats up today - annoying to buy something for only a month or so. I found one on ebay for £20 so hopefully it's ok.

When my gp diagnosed me on Friday I did cry to dh that I'm too young for Ecco shoes. No offence to anyone who wears them, they are actually a really good shoe, but dh and I met when we were weekend staff at an Ecco shop as teenagers.
I have 4 pairs of jeans from next but they all just cut into my belly. I've gone and ordered some leggings from asda to pick up tomorrow and am on the hunt for some long tops/tunics. I'm not the skinniest of people anyway so always feel paranoid wearing leggings as trousers but meh I don't care anymore. I have a pair of linen trousers from asda and the band is so soft and they are so comfy, I know it's Autumn almost winter and not quite the time for linen but I may just have to get another pair.
Thank you all for listening to me moan. It just sometimes all gets too much Flowers
