Maternity Dressing

[mama2be91]

Hello :)

I'm really struggling to find good maternity wear. I'm 26, a size 8 and struggling to find 'trendy' but budget friendly maternity things! Any suggestions?

Seraphine have lovely things if you have a bit of cash - try them now that they're having a sale.

Where do you normally shop? Most shops have a maternity range now - Topshop, Next, H&M etc - but you almost always have to order online, unfortunately, as few stock more than a handful in stores.

Middle of the range pricing but I like envie de fraise. No idea in a size 8 as I am larger but only found them in my second pregnancy otherwise I'd have bought more things. Seems to be a sale on too at the moment.

ASOS

My first 'maternity' clothes were a couple of second hand dresses in L from Traid (I'm a M).

After that I've been browsing ASOS, Topshop, H&M, Next, Jojo Maman Bebe, Gap, Envie de Fraise, and Seraphine and Tiffany Rose when I could afford it (which is not often).

If you would like to breastfeed and you buy dresses make sure you get nursing friendly ones. It didn't even cross my mind while pregnant and then ended up with many dresses I still can't wear due to non accessible boobs. Breastfeeding fashion choices are even more restricted than maternity ones. Once I have finished breastfeeding DCs, I will abstain from wrap dresses, bretons and polka dots for a good decade!
