Why are maternity clothes in H&M so titchy?

[EffiePerine]

Or am I more of a whale than I thought?

Got some maternity trousers from Topshop - size 12 - comfy fit

H&M - size 14 - on the tight side. Ditto tops in a medium. I mean they fit, but I'm only 5 months so I need room to grow

(sighs and prepared to trek to Regents St AGAIN for girnomous clothes)

Gap in Oxford Street has the most. Also in Kings Road and Kew Retail Park as well as HS Ken. Bought some bargain summer trousers in Kings Road yesterday- £7.99 and fit brilliantly. Sizing good too. Bought lots of stuff in the US last pregnancy when you couldn't get it here and was UK size 12. Now seem to be Size 10, despite definately being no smaller. So good ego boost too! Find the trousers in particular way more comfy than H&M.

nappyaddict - Glad I am not the only one! Am wearing size 8 maternity jeans and am pulling them up most of the day. Find their size 10 tops are huge around the bust too.

I am normally a size 10-12.
Haven't tried HandM yet but will keep it in mind when shopping there!

may have to plan another trek to Oxford Street (sigh).

the H&M vests are great thouhg, very long reasonably thick material and only 3.99
