Hi everyone, haven't been able to post much but had to tell you my news - I am now 10.5 weeks preggers, due 31/3/06. Morning sickness (well, all day sickness) has been kicking me around a fair bit, more than my 1st pg, but FINALLY feeling a little better this week. Going for NT scan/blood test on 21/9 and will then decide whether to have CVS done. Had my first scan last week, bubby is almost 3cm LOL! It's only early days, but I went into Myer and Harris Scarfe in Hobart and asked about maternity clothing, just to see what is available. Well - NOTHING - they no longer even stock it. Isn't that ridiculous? Where did you ladies get your maternity gear? I know there's Pumpkin Patch but they're v. expensive. I can't believe the 'big' stores are no longer stocking maternity gear!!

Congratulations! I went to Kmart and Target for some maternity clothing, and Ebay is pretty good too. I brought a couple of pairs of pants from PP and then maternity shirts from other places, even some clothes just one size bigger do the trick Cheryl 26 & Greg 26 <a href='http://www.baby-gaga.com/'><img src='http://tickers.baby-gaga.com/t/lamlamavi20050801_9_Wesley+Ryan+is.png' alt='baby' border=0></a>

Hi another Lonnie girl here too the one in the Quadrant has closed now - haven't priced Baby George yet. I second Target particularly. I think it is good to get some good quality basics - jeans etc then top it up with other cheaper stuff. If you are in KMart regularly they sometimes have nice stuff. I wanted to suggest tummy wraps - you wear them under normal tops to cover belly belts or undone zips etc. I just found some on ebay from a store called Emma's Bits. Only $8. There is another store called 4Mumz&Kidz on there too that sells them. I initally got a Belly Button Maternity one that was a lot more $$ but is very good. There are lots of very good online maternity shops. You should also join our Due In March group if you haven't already - congratulations to BTW.

Hi Sue, Congratulations!! I'm in Hobart too, I noticed the other day that Myer no longer seemed to stock maternity. Places in Hobart that stock cheaper maternity clothes are Target, K-Mart and Big W, Pumpkin Patch have some lovely clothes but they are that bit more expensive. I bought jeans and pants from Target and a few of nice tops from Pumpkin Patch on sale. There is also a maternity store in Sandy Bay called "Stork", never been there so I've no idea of the prices. B2K at Rosny used to stock some maternity wear as well. HTH, Sonya.<BR>DS BJ 14/6/02 DD Imogen 9/11/04

Mummytobe2 - I am guessing Baby George is a baby clothing shop? I am going to Launnie this weekend and might take a look if that is the case Cheryl 26 & Greg 26 <a href='http://www.baby-gaga.com/'><img src='http://tickers.baby-gaga.com/t/lamlamavi20050801_9_Wesley+Ryan+is.png' alt='baby' border=0></a>

You can't scare me .. I have twins!!
Congrats!! I actually just bought clothes a size or so too big for me! I knew with the twins I would explode .. and I am quite large to begin with, so they don't really make maternity clothes to suit! Ebay has some lovely clothes .. Fiona Gabi 20/04/02 Caleb and Declan 30/03/04
