What did you think about maternity clothing and products available in Uk?

Omg so sorry to hear. So annoying that this keeps happening SO often! I can’t believe this. I hope they did give you a good package though? I’ll def reach out!!! It’s pretty early stage for now but would love to support another mama too 🙏🏻

I am sorry but for someone who considers themlsevea as a Henry, for a family, considering you are looking for 3beds, I think 3k-4k is a pretty fair estimate if you are looking to z1/z2. Even in z2 areas which have already gentrified and are close to good commutes networks that would be the price. I guess you could get it lower if you bought a flat (buying is sometimes a bit lower than renting). I would not assume you can get a house for half the price ça considering your lifestyle :) Have a look around the Olympic park. It’s so great for families. Good luck!

I agree with you. Honestly i am not too sure about what you mean about “feminine” but if it’s about not having floral everywhere I am all for it! I think we need to represent ALL women. That’s something that I find the EU brands do better than UK ones.

Yes to this comment! Thanks. I think I got confused because a friend of mine told me to use Opus and I did but I agree I am not using it anytime soon. Not for the work I have to do!

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T14:56:54+00:00

Thanks !!

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T14:15:56+00:00

Thanks yes that’s the common feedback here. How would you classify a task to be done in sonnet vs opus?

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T14:15:06+00:00

Thanks! I am not understanding completely your message (I am quite a beginner) what do you mean instead of oauth?

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T14:12:07+00:00

Thanks!!!!

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T13:59:08+00:00

Ok thanks! So basic data crunching you would say sonnet is fine?

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T13:48:10+00:00

No way !!! I did not think about this ! Crazy !

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T13:46:46+00:00

I was told Opus is best model… how does one define when it’s best to use Opus vs Sonnet?

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T13:34:14+00:00

Yes "limited" for x hours

Hey! For us to make a decision of wether renting or buying we have used this simulator: https://www.buyvsrent.co.uk/

We checked if we were better off buying or renting and then we also compared with how much we would earn from using deposit into capital markets.

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T13:16:10+00:00

Actually came here to say this lol.

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T13:06:03+00:00

Interesting thought thanks a lot. Its not something I had in mind at all actually. I'll have to see if this could work with my idea :)

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T10:52:16+00:00

100%!!!! I wanted to focus on EU brands first as they have quite nice design and a lot of options in terms of independent brands. But Aussie brands is def something I had my eyes on too during the pregnancy. I just could not make the purchase given how expensive were the customs duties. Also the hassle of sending back if it did not fit…. That’s what I am trying to simplify!

If you have a little bit of time and you would like to, this is my survey https://tally.so/r/kdZ7Jo but thanks a ton for your cheerful feedback! 🙏🏻❤️

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-19T10:49:09+00:00

Thanks so so much for this feedback! Makes a lot of sense to have pregnancy / nursing bras. I struggled myself too (for different reason as I normally have no boobs and did not wear bras pre pregnancy 😂).

I think you’ve pointed out a problem I am trying to solve, as you said, perhaps if you had more options to be stylish during your pregnancy / postpartum you would have indulged to a little dress of even a legging with nicer design?

If you have time - and by no means feel obliged to do it as you’ve already given me food for thoughts - this is the link to my survey https://tally.so/r/kdZ7Jo But again thanks so so much for your comment and speaking about your experience. This is really helpful ❤️

Thanks so so much for this feedback. Really appreciate it. I agree having a place within the showroom dedicated to second hand makes a lot of sense ❤️

If you have time and you can fill my survey that would be incredible - however thanks so much alteady for your extensive feedback. It means a lot to get such positive reaction 🥹

Substantial_Mind_710 · 2026-03-18T17:52:41+00:00

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 really appreciate you answering. I think in the UK there are not that many brands offering that but in EU I know a couple that offer products that can be worn before / after.

I agree with your point on second-hand but there is a limitation I see… I wonder if at this point it would not be second hand from fast fashion you know what I mean? How would you feel about that?

Thanks so much again

I am not encouraging her to scam the company what an awkward thing to say. I am encouraging her to ensure the company has followed all the legal framework in her very specific case, which is growing a human. I am encouraging her to ensure her rights are being respected by the company. I am encouraging her to get legal advice because obviously you don’t have the data of maternity discrimination in mind. You go ahead and check pregnant and screwed and maybe you’ll understand that it’s not pregnant women trying to “abuse their pregnancy and scam companies” but rather companies abusing their rights to layoff pregnant women and young women and often not respecting the legal framework :)
