Actually...somewhere in the Hampshire are would be best!
I was dragged around Chichester and Portsmouth on Sat and we didn't find A SINGLE pair of maternity trousers. I don't feel like I'm asking for a lot, just something that I can be comfortable in that doesn't make me feel like an idiot. Lots of people we asked just said "oh, just buy a couple of sizes bigger" and "the style is baggy at the moment anyway, just go to...fill in name of place where they sell brightly printed flowery tops that I wouldn't usually ever wear". My friends were falling over laughing and I felt like I should go into hibernation for 6 months. I can't just wear flowery empress waist tops because it will be winter soon and the rest of my body is not getting that big so whats the point of buying size 12/14 trousers????
What has everyone else done? if buying on the internet did you just get your own size and hope it was adapted for maternity?

Formes - beautiful stuff (look on their website but mainly London based I think) especially if you work
Isabella Oliver (they definitely sell online and my friend lived in that stuff)
Lots of companies advertise in the back of Red magazine
