Hello ladies, I know it's been done to death but I'm pregnant again and just want to look nice and like myself rather than a mumsy blob. I am 12 weeks gone with baby number 2, have a 14 month DD and am currently the slimmest I've ever been in my whole life. I am a size 14 and short: massive boobs, fat arms, short legs, everything else ok. Having spent my last pregnancy in generic fat lady black rags I'd love to spend the next few months looking half decent. Any ideas?

Congratulations. Smile

I had DC2 2 weeks ago and know the feeling well!

I would suggest just buying a few things at the moment, some good maternity jeans...I liked Topshop and H&M.

For good maternity ranges, Isobella Oliver is lovely but ££. You can pick up some on Ebay for cheaper. The resale is good though. I would recommend the wrap tops or long, scoop neck t-shirts.

Topshop maternity is also good for doing things that are more fashionable. They rarely have much in store though, so I would do a big on line order. They are good for returns too. Things like these would be good buys:

this top

pretty blouse

this would be a brilliant buy, could be worn over skinnies/leggings at the end of your pregnancy too.

this is lovely if you like colour.

Hello! Such a tricky stage isn't it? Feeling larger but not quite looking pregnant yet. I have used Bumpalicious Maternity and they were brilliant - not too pricey, really helpful with their advice on what would suit and a great selection. H&M also good for basics. I am sure that you will look brilliant.

I felt terrible (16 weeks) until a trip to mothercare on Monday- jeggings, chinos and a gorgeous maxi dress all buy one get one half price. Got my eye on more in their range too. I thought their sizings weregood and morefashionable than I expected.
Combined with some loose tops from new look and I feel like myself again.
