Maternity Clothes Rant 😭😭😭

I'm 14 weeks and it's come to that time when my clothes are starting to get a bit uncomfortable. I decided to try Mothercare to get some jeans and one or two bits for work to start off with but everything in there was sooooo frumpy looking! I tried on some overbump jeans but I felt exposed as the waistband is so low that it barely half covers my vagina, is that normal?! I then tried on a dress but it was so unflattering and already had a split down the seam which made me question the quality!

A part of me resents even having to shell out on a whole new wardrobe especially as I normally buy clothes in the sales so I can get good quality clothing at more reasonable prices (think coast, monsoon, house of fraser etc) but those clothes last a long time, not for the 10 months or so that I intend to be in maternity clothes so it seems unreasonable to pay over the odds for them!

Can anyone tell me where to get a good pair of jeans that will cover my modesty and some modern outfits, pleeeeeeeease!

I want to second what someone else said earlier - Gap are definitely the best maternity jeans. I ended up with 5 pairs. Sign up to their mailing list as they are forever ending round codes that are worth anything from 25 to 40% off.
The thing about their maternity jeans is they are just like normal jeans with an over or under bump band. I found other maternity jeans were all jeggings with a strange fit...
