What size do you need? I've got some size 12/14 maternity bootleg jeans and a nice mothercare maternity shirt you can have ...... (Ithink i've still got the shirt - will have to check! - might also have a long black t-shirt material dress still with tags on))

Asda! they don't have a huge range but they do have the essentials.

Contact your local NCT (go through their website) and find out about their nearly new sales - loads of bargins there, but you have to get there early.

Ebay or H&M.

Poo2 · 18/11/2004 10:34

Have you tried Argos Additions catalogue - a few very reasonable maternity lines in there.

Lonelymum · 18/11/2004 20:57

Shortiemum, I have some clothes listed in the For Sale threads. I will bump it for you. There are a couple of short skirts that might be suitable for you.

fufmum · 19/11/2004 13:10

Additions is VERY cheap and got nice stuff too if you can get your size in stock!

I'm turning into a huge fan of uniqlo (think they might only be in the SE/London) Not specifically maternity clothes, but I bought some of their 'Ladies leisure pants' (trousers) a size or two too large for £7 thinking they would be ok to slob around at home in and am happily wearing them to work!

I went to asda to try and buy some maternity clothes recently only to be told that they were a seasonal item and that they only sold them in spring! Go figure that.

Lonelymum · 19/11/2004 18:15

They must make them only for sheep and cows!

Tesco.com or the largest tesco you can find!
