Maternity Clothes on a budget

Ok so we all know how expensive maternity clothes can be when all we want to do is spend money on buying baby things!
Try looking at www.additionsdirect.co.uk they don't have a huge selection of clothes and it's all casual stuff but the prices are pretty reasonable. And unlike some maternity ranges they do 2 leg lengths and go up to a size 22 :D
Hope this helps folk as much as it did me!

I bought some maternity leggings from dorothy perkins(_9.99) and have bought a couple of tops from Asda in size 14 (am size 10 usually)These accomodate my bump, are fairly fashionable and cost just a few pounds

yeah its a good idea to just buy bigger if the cut of the top lets you get away with it. also those elastic bump bands are good as you can wear your normal tops and they cover up the large expanse of bump sticking out the bottom lol ;-) or do an Angelina Jolie and wear loads of maxi dresses! primark do good cheap ones at the min. xxx

quite a few high street stores do maternity clothing really cheaply now. H&M and new look are ok but not every store stocks them.im on my 2nd pregnancy and some of the stuff i got in my first from new look is still great to wear even tho i was heavily pregnant in winter with my first.
the bums on things annoy me in some stores.we dont all get big bums

If you don't mind second hand stuff, try Ebay. I've found some lovely things on there for work at a right bargain!
