Every pair of trousers; from the perfect denims to loose-fit chinos had gone way beyond the hair-band trick. (If you don't know it, when you first start to bloat and your trousers feel on the right side you can loop a hair elastic through the button hole and over the button. It'll give you an extra inch and maybe a few weeks in your favourite jeans.)
Shopping for a comfortable pair of jeans, if you live in them like I do will be the most satisfying shopping trip you ever have. That being if it's successful.
Finally being able to wear something that made me feel human again after so many hormonal hissy fits about the fact my entire wardrobe was filled with nothing to wear. I actually felt like I looked representable. Like I looked like me!
Before I fell pregnant I mostly wore a UK size 6, both top and bottom. I'm not an avid on-line shopper like a lot of people are. My sister has packages arriving by the day so I know its easy and there seems to be a fair bit online for small sizes in maternity ranges. I found ASOS to be the best in the UK. There are tons of American sights but the P&P prices seemed to be pretty hefty and with the issues of returning them, I thought it be best to give it a miss.
I'd recommend you head to H&M :) Their Maternity range is stylish and it won't break your bank either. I found some super comfy jeans from just £14.99 with a soft stretchy bump cover. I tried most of their range on, from the floral swing dresses, to simple black wrap style ones. The nursing vest tops, leggings, cute slogan tees and winter wardrobe must haves. I'd say hands down H&M deserves a pat on the back with this range. They stock as small as XS and go up to XL too.
If your feeling fragile then I'd most definitely avoid Topshop at all costs. Whilst it is lovely that they offer a maternity section, it amounts to a measly collection of plain frumpy dresses and uncomfortable trousers.
I'll post some picks of my pretty purchases soon! Happy shopping all you mumma's to be <3
