If you were to choose a maternity item that you are most comfortable in and love most, what would it be (i.e. skirt/pants/dress)? All my maternity clothes are comfortable but I will go with the jeans I bought recently.

How much did you pay for it? $110 for one pair and $80 for the other
What colour is it? Jeans

Would you still be happy to wear it for a while after baby is born? (i.e. adjustable waist/doesn?t look too much like a maternity item) Yes, but mainly because of the price I paid.

If it is bottoms of some description, what sort of waist band does it have? (i.e. fold over, over belly, underbelly, adjustable, wide waistband etc) $110 have an adjustable waist at the back part of the jeans, and the $80 pair have a thin fold waist band

Was there anything common that you found annoying about maternity clothes (i.e. I find cap sleeves with a hem too small around my arms annoying when the rest of the top fits perfectly, or a lovely dress with the boob bit too small etc etc) In general I find it hard to find anything I like the look of. Like mbear said, alot of them are daggy unless you want to pay a fortune! Some tops dont fit in the boobs (ie are way too big or small), jeans I found I had to go to the maternity store to buy them because cheaper stores like target and kmart just didn't fit well (too big in the thighs or bum but perfect fit elsewhere).

Where have you put on most weight other than your beautiful belly (i.e. bum, hips, legs, hooters, all of them - like me LOL) So far I would say my breasts LOL. I haven't noticed any other weightgain other then there and my belly. With DD I think by the end of the pregnancy I had put on my thighs and bottom a bit.

Did you stay the same or go up a size, (i.e. if you were a 12 pre-preg, did you wear size 14 maternity clothes by the last trimester)? With DD, I went up a size but that was due to my eating 1kg of cheese in a month, pmsl. It made me gain 4kg. ETA: sorry I read that wrong. No I managed to stay in the same sized maternity clothes throughout the whole pregnancy.

Was there any particular maternity item that you wanted but was difficult to find or just too expensive or both? Again jeans and tops.

Do you shop at all on line and if so are you more likely to Google maternity clothes websites or look on eBay? No I don't but only because maternity clothes vary greatly so i like to try them on.
