I'm just entering my second trimester and the bump is starting to make an appearance, jeans are absolutely out the window for me now!
I'm really struggling with what to wear and where to look for inspiration, I've done the usual pinterest but i've found it a bit uninspiring, lots of leggings and smock tops which isnt really my thing!
Does anyone have any inspiration accounts to point me towards on insta / pinterest / tik tok?

I really struggled to find nice maternity wear. But I mostly bought clothes (mostly dresses) from Seraphine, Isabella Oliver, Nobody’s Child and New Look. They tended to have nice pieces.

I struggled as bleary everything was online when I was pregnant (eldest is 7 this week and youngest is nearly 3) am don’t stocked in stores. The large Asda near us now has maternity wear in stock and some H&M and Primark stores do too. I live in jeans and t shirt when not at work and needed suits or trousers and blazer for work (nightmare!) I got maternity jeans from JoJo Mamam Bebe, they were the most comfortable ones for me. I got a few tops from H&M and the Asda maternity range both casual and smart for work. I got the black maternity trousers from ASDA and bought a black blazer (boyfriend got so had some extra space) to wear with them from Primark. I never fasten the blazer so it didn’t need to button over bump. I also bought some t shirts and hoodies from Primark in bigger sizes, as they were cheap I didn’t care that I’d stretch them out a bit.

I struggled to find maternity clothes with my first and lived in Jeans/T-shirts or bodycon dresses. Vinted is great as people tend to sell on once baby arrives so there’s often a fair bit on there. I bought from a mix of Asos, H&M, Boohoo, New Look and Next. Lots of outfit repeating. It’s only for a few months!

I went solely eBay and vinted. Just found styles I liked on Pinterest and then set up searches on eBay.

I hear a lot of negative stuff about Shein but I got off eBay a few Shein maternity dresses in the same style but different colours and they were lovely really comfortable and washed well too.
