Maternity clothes

Hi ladies! I thought I was going to be able to make it through my whole pregnancy without buying any maternity clothes. My cousin gave me a few key maternity items and now I’m realizing I’m going to be MUCH more comfortable if I get some more items. I’m due in July so I’m looking for shorts, tanks, or dresses. Any recommendations on where to buy items that won’t break the bank? Or items that will be good to where post pregnancy as well? Easy for breastfeeding?

Thank you in advance!

Boohoo is good for maternity clothes, I got so much from there and loads of stuff is great for breastfeeding as well x

Careful with ordering from those Facebook ad companies I ordered my last pregnancy and got my items after the baby came out haha

I lived in boots maternity I only had a few bits but I loved ever single one. X

I just did quite a big order from boohoo which included some summer clothes 😊 they are reasonable priced x

Amazon and zulily

H&M and boohoo myself

Zalando is great with free delivery and returns (they even pick up the parcels for returns from my home for free)

Boohoo. The clothes are cheap and arrive fast. I paid £8 for a year of next day deliveries x

Look around on Facebook market/ ebay lot of people selling the maternity clothes for cheap, its like newborn clothes everyone is buy a lot and they not use it much, so it’s looks like brand new
I bought 2 bundles of FB market and i had couple of items what comes wih original label xx

Boohoo, ASOS and misguided. Asda was a good shout as well.

Agree with the Facebook marketplace suggestion! I also found Gap and H&M good quality without breaking the bank

Shein xx

Target

H&M and ASOS

I honestly didn't buy any new maternity clothes. I did end up buying a few nursing shirts that are actually great as maternity shirts too now that I am pregnant with #2 as well. These were all from Kohls.

I got items from friends, my local buy nothing group, and a local consignment shop. Many secondhand baby stores or even general thrift stores have a maternity section as well.

Ross and old navy have great options

Facebook marketplace, New Look, Next are all great for maternity

SHEIN won’t break the bank!! X

Old navy. Try the normal clothes not the maternity, their sizes r usually big and u can size up. I usually wear XS I just wore S last 3 months. SHEIN and Target are good options too

I was extremely surprised at how soft, comfortable and affordable H&Ms maternity clothes were😊

I got a load from Dani Dyer’s In The Style range and I pretty much live in them. So comfy and stretchy. Also ASOS do a lot of cheap maternity stuff too!

Target and kohl's

Dorothy perkins has maternity sale stuff at the moment, and if you Google discount voucher you can usually find an extra 10% off x

Facebook marketplace.

Shein!! Also I just got size 16 in things from like primark and they fit really nicely over bump (depending on dress ofcourse)

Ebay! People sell bundles of a certain size too so if you need a few things. I also think H and M stuff was great value.

Clothes Mentor in South Windsor is a consignment shop that usually has a reasonable selection of maternity clothes (not huge but better than anywhere else)

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
