Not for me I hasten to add, but my DD. Every clothes shop we visited eg Next, M & S, John Lewis, Dorothy Perkins, Monsoon, Sainsbury's [we got desperate!]....the list goes on and on had no maternity clothes on the rails - or just the odd bra and pair of tights. A manager in John Lewis told me 'we only sell maternity wear on line madam'!!!! What happens if you're not online or you want something for the evening or just to try on? We don't have a Mothercare locally but I guess that is going to be the only source of immediate supply. DD did manage to get some tops from New Look - online - and to their credit they came within 24 hours. But really..... Is pregnancy out of fashion? What do others pregnant mums do? I suppose this could be a question for MumsNet but I prefer the wisdom of GN. 
My dear Auntie Joan made me a variety of huge smocks when I was pregnant, and then put zips in the front after the birth for breast feeding. Very attractive, hmmm!
As you can gather, I didn't pop back to my normal size in a week - it took three months before I could fit back into my jeans! #excusetostuffmyface
