Maternity clothes are really difficult to buy in advance because you don't know how much weight you'll put on. Ayana is correct though, you should buy your current size if you're buying maternity clothes. Obviously, if you end up putting on quite a bit of weight then you'll need to go up a size for your maternity clothes, but think of maternity clothes as normal clothes but with space for your bump. If you're just buying bigger 'normal' clothes then you'll want to go up one or two sizes, but depending on what you're buying you'll probably find they drown you/don't fit right everywhere except your bump. If you do buy normal clothes, aim for very stretchy clothes in your size or a size above. They'll probably be your best bet but it's difficult to predict.

As the scale of the assault became clear, frustrated posts flooded the chat asking when the army was arriving – and why it wasn’t there already.

Hi, I’m a mum of an almost 3 year old called Alex and a cat. I spend my time working and looking after Alex. Currently struggling with toilet training, brushing teeth and washing hair. Although, he’s been sleeping through the night for the past four months so I can handle the rest Personally I'd recommend some over the bump maternity jeans if you normally wear jeans. I don't normally wear branded/expensive clothes but I invested in a couple of pairs of JoJo Maman Bébé over bump jeans and was so glad I did. I also bought 1 cheap pair of maternity jeans and they were constantly falling down unlike the JoJo Maman Bébé jeans. I moved into my maternity jeans somewhere between 20-24 weeks. I continued to wear all my normal tops up until 31/32 weeks. Then I bought a few 'normal' tops in the size above but only got as far as 33+2 so don't know what I'd have needed later on. I didn't need new PJs, but then I had enough loose non-maternity PJs to begin with. I'd probably try to find some super super stretchy ones in my current size if I'd needed any, or have gone up 1 size.Marianne Fernandez is a wife and mum to two school-aged kids.
