Maternity clothes in London?

Question

This is my first pregnancy and I’m only 6w 4days but soo bloated I can’t close the buttons on any of my trousers anymore. I’ve always worn high waisted trousers so I’m stuck for bottoms now.
I went shopping yesterday to look for some maternity smart trousers for work and I was shocked to find that NO shops I went to did them. I went to Newlook, next, F&F, Asda George, Zara and Primark. They didn’t have any sections for maternity so I didn’t end up getting anything and I don’t want to shop online because I don’t even know what size to get :(
Can anyone suggest some places where il find some good stuff? I’m good for tops because I’ve always liked the baggy loose top look and high waisted wide leg trousers look. All I seem to find online are leggings or jeggings but I’m looking for something smart for work.

Answer

Yeh unfortunately it seems you have to get everything online. Such a pain

Answer

All of those shops have maternity wear. Have a look online

Answer

Most of those stores should stock maternity ranges but maybe only in the bigger stores? But I loved H&M maternity clothes! Definitely going back there again this time. Not cheap cheap (£25 for jeans) but really good quality.

Answer

You can also look into belly bands - I’ve been wearing my normal dress pants unbuttoned with a belly band over the top which keeps them up and covers that they aren’t buttoned.
I’m not from your area, but I actually had the best luck with resale or thrift shops finding dress pants that were maternity and not super expensive.

Answer

I’ve had to get everything online so far. Try looking on Boohoo, George, TU, Next, New Look, ASOS, Topshop x

Answer

A lot of shops have maternity wear online but not in store unfortunately. It’s not that bad buying online - you should generally just get your regular size in maternity wear. If you’re gaining a lot of weight or concerned about fit you could just go up a size.
