Hi ladies. I’m struggling and hoping you can send me some ideas!
im now 12 weeks pregnant with my second child and I definitely have a slight bump already - much earlier than with my first - and I am struggling really badly with what to wear. Maternity clothes are still too big but few of my clothes still fit me. Tops are fine but bottoms are uncomfortable. Any ideas on what to buy/ adapt to get me through until I have enough bump to fill out maternity clothes?

Can you just use an elastic band on your bottoms that have a button with a long top? Or get a couple of cheap maxi dresses?

Loads of floral midi/maxi around just now with enough space for a wee bump?

Do you need separates?

I just wore lots of stretchy leggings in a size bigger than usual at that time. At this time of year I would go for loose fitting dresses.

Hey,

I'm 10 weeks with my first, definitely more bloat than bump, but I had the same problem with bottoms so bought a pair of under the bump maternity jeans from ASOS this weekend and they're perfect.
Bought my usual size.

They're these ones: www.asos.com/prd/201813817?acquisitionsource=pasteboard
