Hi , I'm 4 months and a week pregnant and my belly has been growing si big now .. I really don't want to use maternity cloths like jeans and the shorts .. Is there any other brand type I could use that's not maternity ?

Mine doesn't have a very big selection, but there is a big one in the next city which is about 8 miles away. And they have a really good maternity section. And it's all really comfy too. The jeans are usually £11 but they're all reduced to £5 atm. It might be worth taking a shopping trip somewhere with a big primark

Personally I think they're a waste of money and they're not that comfortable. I've outgrown my maternity jeans already and I haven't had them long. One pair I only bought about 3 weeks ago for almost £40 from New Look, they're already too tight and the other pair I got about 2 months ago from Next for £35 and they don't go over my bump anymore. I stick to joggy bottoms and leggings when I go out and pj bottoms when I'm in the house.

I've been wearing leggings to work in my office with long, flowy shirts. I found that maternity leggings from Old Navy are great, and only $8 a pair. I tried to wear regular leggings for a while, but now I'm 22 weeks and they dig into my belly to much. Sundresses are my favorite for the weekends.

Old navy has tons of cute maternity styles and aren't pricey they are the cheapest I've found I'm just glad my work said I can dress casually because I'm a nurse and maternity scrubs are really expensive and not much variety

I'm not sure I guess it all depends on your body you know. Everyone is different like I said I just went up one pants size because my son is low I need space lol

They have bella band, where you put over the pre pregnancy jeans and it sort of holds them in place. That's what I used with ny first pregnancy, this time around I love maternity clothes.

Where are you from? If you're from the US I've seen a lot of ladies talking about good value maternity clothes available from Wal-Mart, Ross and target. If you're from the UK primark do a really good value maternity range. You don't need to spend a lot. I'm 25w and so far have bought 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of trouser for work. I'm trying not to spend too much but I plan on having more children so I will just put my maternity clothes in storage until they are needed again

I dnt wear them either I just wear shorts or comfortable pants. It's summer so I hate feeling trapped in clothes. A nice dress and shorts or skirt is good enough for me!! I've only had to go up one pants size this kid is sitting low lol

You will be wearing them for awhile even after pregnancy for the first while.
