Is this for going into the office?

If not I would suggest sticking with pairs of leggings under skirts etc. Lot more comfy and if cotton / lycra a lot less likely to cause discomfort

waste of money imho - wear normal ones under the bump. accessorise come up quite big so they are comfortable.

I generally just bought normal ones in a bigger size. I was a size 18 before pg so I bought larger sized ones from Evans. Otherwise I wore opaque maternity ones which lasted much longer than sheer

I think Dorothy Perkins do 2 pairs for £7. BUT when I bought them, one pair inexplicably had no feet and the other pair was really small. 2 other pairs I bought were fine, so I guess it's all chance...

I hear H & M maternity tights are good, but I haven't seen any.

I have jo jo maman tights, they are about £5 BUT they do wash really well and so far I haven't managed to put holes in them, so I haven't had to buy any others

When I started to wear maternity tights, it felt like such a relief so I just wear them now rather than larger size normal tights. I was looking for winter ones rather than sheer tights and got a few pairs from 'from here to maternity' on the Internet. All fine, and quick delivery too. I also got some grey ones from H and M (Marble Arch store only in London at least) and one solitary pair of thick black ones. I think they get them in and sell out again really quickly so you have to be quite lucky to get some! (good luck Bessie - they are worth it if you can get some, and cheap too)
