Where are people going to buy maternity clothes in the UK? Had a look at my local Next and M&S but it seems their maternity wear is online only. Or are people not bothering and sizing up on normal clothes?

I got maternity jeans & trousers from H&M and just sized up on everything else. I wore a very baggy look while pregnant š knitwear is great because it stretches over the bump so sometimes don't even need to size up.

My go to has been vinted! Some of the maternity stuff is so expensive for something I'll only use for a couple of months. I also got some maternity leggings from Amazon and my underwear from Asda! Thankfully I wear a lot of oversized hoodies and t-shirts š

I got my trousers from H&M and mango! (Mango during sales, itās quite expensive unfortunately)

Most of itās online annoyingly. Buy your normal size in mat wear but go up a size in jumpers / leggings and youāll probably be fine! Winterās the best time for it because you can get away with jumpers, sweater dresses etc. x

I just wore size up tbh - so much cheaper than maternity clothes
New look has a good range for work/party and they were on sale last I looked x

New look or shein x

I think I lived in F&F clothes when I was pregnant, I just sized up.

I got quite a lot from Shein!

H&M for some stuff, I just sized up in others x

I sized up with all my clothes and clothes from shein maternity clothes are so expensive!

I have loads of flowy clothes so am just wearing those, I got some maternity trousers from New Look which are amazing and were £10, but apart from that I'm just wearing clothes too big for me x

Oversized T-shirt and Hoodies best for Pregnancy and Post Partum

Oooh h&m is great. I'm always happy with their stuff. If you don't mind vinted it has loads, but if you wanna spend money inprintsy does really nice shirt (currently breastfeeding in them), and momcozy does great bras

Also, I'd size up in pants and not buy maternity for it, joggers all the way

The only shop that seems to sell in store is h&m (might not be all their stores though). It is really annoying. I bought a mix of h&m, new look and jojo maman (Jojo maman or expensive but better quality) for me the most important are maternity leggings and tights. But I did like the fit of maternity tops and dresses as they are more flattering. I also loved maternity high waisted knickers in my second pregnancy from asda (they actually do sell these in store) and still live in them 11 months pp... I also needed different bras whilst pregnant.
Look on vinted too as there's loads on there and they won't have had much wear.

I just size up or just wear stretchy long shirts and leggings for when my bump was bigger until labour x

H&M maternity āMamaā range is great, I love the maternity jeans (got in blue and black) and also their long sleeve tops which are long to cover bump and so soft to wear. Iāve lived in them during pregnancy

I found the best maternity jeans were new look but I think they only sell online

I have been in loads of shops and they have all said sorry we only sell it online now. X

Shein for over bump jeans. Amazon for leggings. This weather you just need some oversized jumpers āļø

Primark was the only place I found to see clothes in store and even then the range was crap. I ended up sizing up in a pair of cotton cargo style trousers, wearing maxi skirts over the bump, and a few dresses. I bought secondhand maternity jeans (Mango and Topshop) off Vinted but didnāt wear them towards the end as I had my baby late July. Also button down shirts which then became very helpful for breastfeeding.

George has some good maternity stuff, Iām not sure if they have it in many stores but their click and collect/returns are easy.
Other than that, as others have said Vinted is great for picking up a bargain as some maternity brands can be really expensive

H&M and Seraphine more expensive but have good options for petites maternity clothes.
