Buying maternity wear in person! Bath/Bristol

Hiya mumsnetters!!
This is going to sound so trivial, but it's really bugging me!
I'm 23 weeks and my regular clothes are NOT fitting! I've bought a couple of maternity dresses from Vinted, which are my go tos right now.
I keep seeing maternity wear that I like online at high street shops like New Look, Next and M&S, but when I go into Bath, they either don't have a physical shop or don't have maternity wear section. I feel like years ago I was always walking into shops, picking up clothes and then realising it was maternity!
I hate buying online, mainly because if things don't fit properly I always forget to return them.
I've had a lot on my plate lately as well, with family illness and bereavement, studying whilst working full time, interviewing for a promotion and trying to sell our house, so I know my mental load is at capacity, and I'll be even less likely to faff around with returns!
All I want is to go into a shop and try on a few maternity leggings and dresses so I can see the fit and quality before I buy! I never bought much before getting pregnant, so I'm unsure what size works best, so I can't just buy my 'usual'.
Can anyone in the Bath/South Bristol area recommend any shops that carry a maternity range in store please?
Help this mama-to-be get comfy! Thank you!! Xx

Apparently Jojo Maman Bebe have a store in Bath at Cheap Street according to their website. DD bought maternity wear from JJMB a couple of years ago and quality was o.k. Wore and washed well. Why don’t you ring them to check if they keep maternity wear in stock - if so go and try/look at quality and then you can order other items online from Next who have taken them over.

H&M and New Look in Cabot Circus used to have an OK range in store. Worth trying if you're in the area.
