Plus size maternity clothes?

Before I got pregnant I was a size 22, so can't really shop in normal high street shops. I'm 28 weeks pregnant and want to get some maternity things - I wear a lot of stretchy, flowy dresses to mostly will be fine but I'd like some cycling-type shorts to wear underneath, PJs, and comfy bras (and later nursing bras). I have no idea where to look for plus size maternity stuff and not finding much online.

My boobs were a 38HH before, no idea what they are now, a lot of plus maternity bras stop at a G or before. And the maternity shorts come in up to XL, no idea what this equates to but probably too small.

Where can I shop? Any suggestions?

Marks & Spencer's do soft bras with no wires, I'm a 38H and got some (not sure exactly what size they go up to) I was a size 18 and got maternity clothes from BooHoo, New Look, Debenhams and Asda

Thanks I'll look at M&S for bras, unfortunately high street places don't do my size so they won't work for clothing!

No probs, ah it's hard work isn't it! Good luck with the pregnancy 😊

Really unexpected but newlook so maternity up to a size 26 I think, I've recently bought some of their summer flowey dresses and they're lush. I also got undershorts from h&m, I'm around an 18 and the XL is generous and I think they do an XXL. No help with the bras I'm afraid, I'm not that blessed x

I got some Snag shorts in the next size up than usual, which go under my dresses and fit me well at 7 months. They go up to quite big sizes I think.

I bought one bra so far from bravissimo - went to the store to try it on. They specialise in big boobs and offer proper fittings. They can also offer advice for pregnant ladies.

I got most of my maternity wear from Asda. They did maternity leggings, I needed long due to the time of year but perhaps they do a shorter length.

Yours has a maternity section

Asda, next, yours clothing, long tall sally. I got a lot of dresses from asos and maternity leggings from asda which have been the best. Sainsburys do too but they don't often have many bigger sizes available.
I have just got enough leggings to get me through a week, and a mix of dresses and long tops that are either maternity or just floaty.

Asda has maternity knickers which has been an absolute godsend! I’m annoyed with online shops like boohoo, it’s like women above a size 16 don’t get pregnant according to them?!
I got maternity leggings from Dorothy Perkins and they’re comfy, I’ve wanted shorts too but not been able to find any, I just sized up in regularly legging shorts but not as ideal as maternity would be.
m&s bras haven’t fit me so I’m struggling to find nursing bras as well but primark have nursing nighties which fit.
I hope that helps! (I’m 37 weeks and roughly a size 20) xx

I second the Asda maternity knickers!

New Look - the Emilee maternity jeggings in particular are super stretchy and comfy, and like a lot of their maternity stuff they come in your size!

M&S for bras, couldn't be doing without them.

I bought a couple of soft jersey maxi-dresses on Amazon, they aren't maternity but are roomy and I sized up so there's loads of room. I wear Snag chub rub shorts underneath them, they are a lifesaver.

Haven't bought anything from Yours, but they have a decent range of stuff.
