So, my tummy is expanding (although no real bump yet) and I can finally justify spending some money on new clothes. I was surprised to find some half-decent maternity wear around, although it seems you're out of luck if you want something that's not black, grey or white!
My first buy was a set of bump bands for extending the life of pre-pregnancy tops that are getting just a little bit short now. They go under your normal clothes and look like a vest underneath, giving you a couple more inches to hide a growing belly. Also useful for covering the evidence if you need to use a hairband to do up your old trousers.
Other buys have been mostly with work in mind - some stretchy waist trousers and smart tops. I've found Isabella Oliver, Seraphine and Gap great so far. Once I get some more free time, I'll check out my local high street which has all the usual suspects - Next, M&S, Mothercare, Dorothy P's, Topshop etc.
