Pregnancy 'fashion' advice

Hi all,

I am looking for some advice and what I could wear during pregnancy, to work mainly.

Office attire is casual and i am a jeans and top / jumper / shirt kind of wearer, inside and outside of work. My jeans are starting to be a bit tight and uncomfortable, I remember from my last pregnancy that maternity jeans were fair too big / funny fitting and I had to keep pulling them up, so they are out.

Any ideas on what I can wear? I cannot wear leggings / joggers or anything like that, as although it is casual that is one step too far!

I need some ideas so i can do a vinted shop!

Thanks!

There are loads of elasticated waist tailored trousers around at the moment which I’ve been wearing both to work and out and about!

I've been stocking up jersey shirt dresses in the size above. I can wear with tights and cardigan, and also (hopefully!) give me some options for summer when I'll probably be breastfeeding. I've opted for midi styles to cover the bump a little bit but yet to buy any proper maternity clothes beyond my two T-shirts and jeans. 😊 So much easier to pair than trousers and tops atm...so one less thing to stress about.

I'm 22 weeks and still don't look like I have a proper bump, if I'm honest. I'm mainly wearing very stretchy/baggy non-maternity clothes because I can't find any maternity clothes that really feel like me. My husband thinks I'm in denial 😂

I'm due end of June so figured I'd try to get roomy and stretchy stuff I can layer now and it should see me through the other side of pregnancy.

I'm also yet to buy proper bras, I've been going full Charlie Dimmock or just wearing loungewear bralettes. 🥴 I don't think my cup size has grown at all, just the band size.

I think there'll be a crunch point when I just cut holes in a duvet cover at the end of May and stay in that until the baby comes.
