Any recommendations on what to wear at 3 months pregnant. My normal clothes are getting pretty uncomfortable but maternity clothes are all too big! Struggling to look half decent!

I remember being like this with ds1!

Loose skirts with elasticated waists with floaty tops are fab for in the heat. The inbetween stage of clothes is very annoying!

H and M has got a lot of elasticated stuff this year (non maternity) like sun dresses and smocked tops and skirts. I'm wearing stuff from there still at 33w but with their maternity legging as I feel I need covering up more!

I am usually a size 8-10. now 2 months pregnant and with all the bloating cannot fit in any of my clothes. I popped to Matalan and got 3 summer dresses with no waist bands in a size 12. Very comfortable and will probably be able to wear them quite a while with a bump and room for my ever growing boobs...plus will be nice to wear in the months after the baby is born.

use a hairband to do up the button on your trousers (loop hairband through button hole then through itself and pull tight, stretch the other end across and hook over the button).

I am wearing a pair of shorts like this today (at 19 wks) - not buying maternity shorts as this is probaby going to be the only hot day all summer!

I am 12 weeks pregnant and have just bought a belly band like these www.glowmaternityandbaby.co.uk/index.php?cName=belly-band
I got mine from Asda for £4 so a lot cheaper than the ones advertised. It means I can wear my normal trousers and this goes over the top of the open zip/buttons and keeps them up.

A Belly Belt is what I'm using - different to the belly band. It extends the waist size of all clothes that have a button or slide hook fastening. You can use your normal clothes for months, so you wouldnt need to splash out for summer clothes, for example (given that it will probably only last a few days anyway!!)

I've found a couple of maternity bits that aren't too big - I think because they're designed to sit under the bump with a stretch jersey waistband. But then I seem to be quite big for 3 months!

Leggings and dresses are also good.
