The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The Good- Pregnant Belly
The Bad- Widening of the hips, and expanding of the rib cage
The Ugly- MATERNITY FASHION
Why is it that designers of the world get together to humiliate the pregnant momma? I'm talking affordable fashion....like Old Navy or Gap (insert other store of your choice)
I'm not talking about $50-100 shirt or skirts ....Affordable meaning $30 and under.
I mean we only wear the stuff for a few months and what are the odds that if you get pregnant again it's in the same season and can wear your stuff again? (Ok pretty good since it's the same season for my #4 and #5 haha)
Half the choices I had when pregnant with Lils had some of the strangest prints. I mean why do I want to wear swirls of odd colors together I didn't before I was pregnant.
Just because we are carrying a child in our womb doesn't mean we lost all sense of fashion. My brain cells are still the same. Why don't clothing manufactures design a shirt and then take that same concept and create maternity wear? When did we go from wearing cute trendy clothes to Peter Pan collars (sorry for those of you that love them) and vertical stripes or little ribbons all over our shirts?
When did we go from wearing cute summer skirts or dresses to wearing sacks over heads?
I so wish back in the day I had taken Home Economics instead of Child Development. For some reason the idea of carrying an egg or sack of flour around sounded more interesting than sewing a shirt. Now I'd kill for that skill. I'd come up with the most incredible Maternity line at affordable prices so mom's could keep their style and feel good about showing off their bump.
Sorry ...was having a pregnant rant kind of moment...it was one of those morning where I was standing in my closet wondering what on earth I'm gonna wear this summer. (wishing for warmer weather) I got online and just kept shaking my head at all the maternity clothes I don't want ...which in turn made me wish I could sew!

Maybe they figured the expecting mothers would be nauseous anyway, so it wouldn't matter what obnoxious colors they threw together. :p
It's ugly, & they charge a fortune for it.
It's craziness.
BTW, saw your comment at Thoughts & Whatnots....my hubby's bd is 10/7 :)
Hope you found something to wear though! :)
Good luck finding cute maternity stuff. I always wore dresses. I had both kids in July, so I lived spring and summer in dresses like crazy. Luckily I didn't really show until then too.
