I was lucky enough to be able to fit into my normal pants with a belly belt for quite some time. I did buy some black maternity pants - 1 pair with buttons on the inside that let the top in and out and the other pair with the elasticy fold down part. They are both really comfortable. I got a few different maternity tops that may have looked a tad big at first but fit quite nicely now towards the end. My biggest problem has been the seasons changing!!! Started out in summer... and now its winter!!!

As for bathers I bought a tankini set in a size or so bigger which still fits me now (I go to aquanatal classes each week) Your bump ends up sticking out the bottom but thats fine!!!
