Comfortable work maternity wear

[expectinglittlebear]

I have just entered my second trimester and my bump is starting to get bigger (pretty sure most of it is bloat still, but there is a bump under there somewhere ;) )

Anyway, I am struggling to find comfortable workwear as my bump is getting bigger. My workplace is kind of smart/casual (can wear jeans/leggings if paired with a nice smart blouse etc.). I am size 8-10 on top and 10-12 on bottom and I normally wear high waisted stretchy black jeans. However, even these are starting to get to the point round the middle where they are getting uncomfortable.

So my question is, if your workplace is similar, what sort of clothes did you start wearing as you progressed? And can you recommend any wear to buy these? I am thinking some nice maternity leggings (but ones that don't show your bum when you bend over lol!!)

I lived in dresses and big ass maternity knickers at work and next maternity jeans with over bump band and the next fitted maternity tops. Next & ASOS definitely the go to, seraphina for the dressy stuff

I've tried not to go mad a spend loads but I've been wearing leggings most days with chunky (very small healed) sandals and long/floaty tops most of which aren't maternity.... mostly just from primark/shein (v cheap and if they don't last it's not the end of the world).

I did invest in a blue and black pair of decent maternity jeggings (from Love Leggings) but I only wear these once a week or so as I don't find them the most comfortable to sit down in all day! But the do fit nicely.

I wore a lot of thick ponte maternity leggings (the type that look more like trousers) with long/oversize shirts and blouses and boots. Either that or black maternity jeans with floaty tops. Or dresses with a pair of maternity cycling shorts underneath for bump support. ASOS was quite good for maternity clothes, but I also got a lot of my maternity wear on eBay. I found it resells quite well if it doesn't fit.
