buy some cheapo long tops/short dresses from primark and some leggings. do you have boots?

i wore my maternity clothes for about 6 weeks after as they were more roomy and comfortable

probably isn't what you want to hear tho' is it?

think the key thing is comfort - what about a couple of nice jumper/sweater dresses - will hide the fastenings on your jeans

I am still pregnant and have the whole thigh issue going on too. Am dreading trying to get into any of my old stuff post baby. I am planning on wearing skirts + knee length boots quite a bit to avoid the jeans/thighs combo. I'm looking for seudey/cordy skirts that don't cling. Just not sure what size to get yet, will have to wait and see. I do sympathise and hope others come along with more suggestions!

at least 6 weeks for tummy to get back down

also, next sizes are skimpy

you need a couple of lovely skimming tunics, i got one in asda last week for £6

some pull on jersey trousers

sweater dresses/ tunics

I would be eary of the leggings too tbh. I think the cheaper ones can look cheap iykwim. Maybe we just haven't seen the right ones!

I got some great boots in TK Maxx, £30 flat, choc brown and wide fit, but they don't do online...

I'll have a look for some others. I got some (surprisingly) from Principles last year.

Lulu was that bit about my post supposed to be on your message?

oh , sorry about that

matalan is excellent for this sort of thing too

no, i copied and pasted it with my link by mistake

Phew - thought I was in trouble for a sec!

today i've got leggings (M&S ones) a wrap dress with a pink vest underneath and red clarks boots on and I'm definitely no skinny minnie! thinnish layers can be good esp in cold weather. re: bf maybe a top/dress roomy enough to hitch up, with t-shirt underneath?

dresses / tunics are possible if you can get the neckilne down to feed (wear vest under and hitch that up) - get ones with really deep vs, or with buttons thus or thus

I know it feels like hell waiting to get back into non-mat clothes but you will kick yourself if you spend loads then find they are too big in 6wks (or less)

have your hair done instead, or buy some earrings

M&S good for buttoned tunics
one
two

Clara - think I'm going to go for something like this

With flat boots.

You are right - M&S have a good choice of stuff at moment...
