hi Oceanprincess...
I'm actually really stoked ... myer are having a huge sale on maternity wear at the moment (not that they have heaps) and I ended up getting 5 items by Ripe for $150.
Your right though they have a great range for younger mums
i got a pair from big W last week, plain black tankini style maternity ones $35, it will do for this pregnancy not having anymore bubbas so dont care if tehy dont last long! though not sure my boobs will be contained once in full term adn still doing swimming lessons with DD!!
I recommend zodee (dot com dot au) I havent looked recently but from memory they have some gorgeous maternity stuff - and as a bonus thier fayreform bras are buy two get one free at the moment
For swimmers I went to rebel sport and bought a speedo top which had BB support and pulled down all the way over my belly - even when I was past my EDD. It was a size larger than I would normally have bought, same with the bottoms. It was great.
Thanks for the tip about the Kmart sale - Love Bub2b since I've been breastfeeding the bub2b tops are all i've been wearing! need more!
