I quite like some of the maternity fashions these days, the dresses are lovely, nicely shaped to accommodate the bump, just like the T-shirts and other tops.
The fashion for wearing short tops and low slung trousers with the bare belly protruding is something I haven't seen for some years now - it was quite the thing back in the nineties and early noughties I think, but my experience is that women tend to cover up a bit more these days.
The fashion I really disliked was the maternity dungarees in the eighties 
And yes, I thought the smock tops and loose fitting clothes of our day were rather pretty - and very comfortable too! But, funny thing is, I can't for the life of me remember what we wore with those smock tops - almost certainly trousers of some description, but I simply don't remember having any maternity trousers 
.
I had Mothercare maternity jeans with an elasticated panel. And some of the dungarees. 
Reported, but just fancy " maternity clothes for pregnant women"
What a novel idea.
DD spent most of her pregnancies in either SiL's sweat shirts or tops she bought on ebay. She bought a size larger jeans which she later kindly passed on to me 
pompa You poor thing, that must have been terrible for you! How did you cope?
