Hi Guys,
I am new to 2nd trimester and I have only just needed to start buying maternity wear.
I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong places but everything I look at seems to be aimed at the blue rinse set - not trendy women.
I'm pregnant not 90! ...lol
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be really grateful.
Thanks heaps!!!
Dee... I spotted some today, to be honest didn't look too closely but saw them at Target. With Oskar I just wore my bikini...with belly hanging out lol, although I was only swimming in our pool anyway.
With Izzy I just work a bikini that was a size bigger and it was fine... Big W have some out right now and they are ok but not great.
I would get a normal one but a few sizes bigger! Good luck!
Big W do have a sale atm but i agree with Tan - they are not great. I do aqua areobics in my bikini :) Still fits but i might have to go up a size soon. I just let it all hang out lol :)
Oh, i also get most of my mat clothes at pumkin patch (great for pants/skirts) and for tops i have been buying from Target - just normal tops but in a size bigger - and i got a cute baby doll top today for 20% off.
Kmart are having a sale on all their maternity stuff on the 21st if you can wait that long. They have bub2b brand which is nice.
Good luck - you can always go out in your trackies (yeah right lol)
thanks heaps for the suggestions everyone!
I think I will just wear my bikini and let the belly hang free...lol
I'll go have a look at Big W and Target this weekend ... might find some good stuff

For bigger boobied women try bellaforma they sell nice maternity bras as well as swimwear. It might be more expensive than Kmart or Target but sometimes it is worth the extra money initially

Ripe in Melbourne have started stocking swimwear too, looks pretty nice. I like Ripe's stock, its aimed at younger types so its pretty good.
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!
