I struggle with maternity clothes because I find them all so frumpy! Plus I don’t spend a fortune as you’re in them for such a small amount of time. I find ASOS to be ok. H&m do the best tights and leggings and topshop do the best maternity jeans (imo). New look do some great bump bands in different colours so you can drag out the time in your normal jeans plus they are good for hiding your belly when you’re feeding baby (if you choose to bf). I tend to go with oversized jumpers/shirts and stretchy dresses rather than actuall maternity wear. Jojo maman Bebe do some great maternity/nursing vests for when your boobs get big that are perfect for breastfeeding. I’m on my second pregnancy and have stocked up on another batch of these! Hope this helps! X

Hi I use ASOS and I would highly recommend it. Their clothes are spacious and very accommodating for my 32 week bump. If you ear jeans, I get my jeans from new look, I would definitely recommend over the bump. Under the bump fall down and they’re uncomfortable. I use their emilee maternity jeggings. They’re just like jeans and the fitting and the quality is great, they’re only £20

Good luck!x

I second over the bump rather than under the bump jeans! Although both my pregnancies have been over winter, not sure what they would be like in Summer!
