Good maternity clothing?

I have been looking in some high street shops (well, I looked the one day I didn't feel sick) and didn't find much. I don't want to go crazy buying, I'd rather keep things minimalist, but some functional clothing e.g leggings would be lovely. I'm only 8 weeks in but already feel so bloated and uncomfortable in my current clothing...

I got quite a few bits from Seraphine, the jeans from there are great and the loungewear. Be aware that returns always seem to take ages, I like to order for choice and always have to chase them for refunds, but to be fair they always refund once I’ve contacted them.

@Moni81 it’s not a generalised comments you literally wrote ‘I personally don't really care’.
Shein is a disgusting business and supporting it supports horrific labour practices and environmental pollution.
Fashion is actually one of the largest polluting industries globally.
I would never support a company that has such abhorrent practices to save a few quid.
I’d rather shop with my conscious and save in other areas that aren’t as socially and environmentally negative.

I totally agree - fast fashion companies like Shein are profiting from slave labour and destroying the planet. @moni81 if you want your kids to have a decent world to live in, please think about this a bit more.

Website goodonyou.eco is good for looking at how responsible fashion companies are.

Also Victoria secret... just because companies charge a lot doesn't mean that they are sustainable/ pay am appropriate wage.

@twinzmama 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It is encouraging to see @Moni81 is in the minority here and that most mamas care about the world they will leave behind for their kids and of the conditions that others work in ❤️
