clarrisa: For the past 1-2 years, I have put on a lot of weight and already a very heavy bottom person so its really hard for me to get outside clothes with additional 6kg wor. My bump is quite big. Since larger size clothings from outside not possible to last till full term, I might as well buy now (can wear all the way). =P One thing I must say, the maternity clothes are so comfy! The cotton is veri thin and cooling (think fabric from Japan) which is important for me as I feel hot more than b4 I'm pregnant.
Jasline: I also have no energy to shop but since its a stone's throw away from where I was, I went to take a look. My hubby can see how sian I am over clothes. Havnt been shopping for so long. It really brightens up my day after the shopping. I got all bright color clothes! Buy separates first. More versatile plus our bump now not so big so the dresses dun look so good on us yet. I bought a tube dress coz that does not look too maternity and I have wedding invites coming in 2 weeks. Perfect Mum is quite good in the sense if you dun like the tube design, they can add spag straps for you. Right now, they will ask you to buy in slightly larger size (still looks ok).
Most item have discounts right now at Perfect Mum except for the versatile nursing top and new items. So I would advise you buy the discounted items first, get the discount card, then buy the non discounted items. I paid for my discounted items first, got gold card, then paid for my non discounted items with gold card discount. The nursing top are quite value for money, maternity now and then also nursing top after delivery.
Dunno whether to be concerned. Blood in my stools for 3 consecutive days when I am not having constipation and eating fruits. Waiting for gynae clinic to return my call. =(
