I know I’m supposed to feel beautiful and appreciate my pregnant body, but at 27 weeks I look at myself and see a beached whale (sigh). As I try to squeeze my over sized belly into my pre-maternity shirts I realize that it’s time I do some serious shopping.
When I was pregnant with L’il E (my first) my body did not bloom like it has this time, so I was able to get away with wearing some of my real clothes for almost my entire pregnancy. I bought a few pairs of jeggings at (cough) Thyme Maternity, but that’s about it.
Sadly I’ve been holding out because I’m too cheap to spend money on clothes I’ll probably never wear again and the selection of maternity clothes in this world is deplorable. Who designs these clothes?? Why do they use fabrics and colours from the 90s??
Anyway, as I was cruising around online yesterday I stumbled upon an ad for Asos Maternity. OMG it’s the maternity jackpot! I promptly sent the link to myself and when I got home from work I spent about an hour browsing through all of their maternity clothes. They’ve got it all. Tops, tshirts, jeans, shorts (not sure about that), hoodies, dresses, and skirts and everything is cheap, but super cool. Oh, and they have free international shipping. If you’re in a real hurry you can pay $15 to get your shipment expedited.
Anyway, I walked away with six new tops and I can’t wait to receive my order next week! Stay tuned for a fashion show.
Where do you do your maternity shopping? Do tell!
